represent all americans, including younger generation. if we do not alter our current paths, we will face in a certain feature. the american people elected a majority of republican in both the houses of republican presidents and vice presidents and they did this because they wanted to put our country back on the right path. now, we have a tremendous opportunity to implement real solution for the american people. but it is more than an opportunity. it is our duty. as the unified republican government, we will produce for the american people appear to stimulate the economy, create jobs, reform the tax code, protect national security and rescue and rebuild our health care. we will continue to work hard for the american people end quote for the real result because their constituents like isabella deserve safer, stronger and more prosperous america than the one they have today. thank you. >> good morning, everybody. as you know, i met with president trump and vice president trump yesterday. we have a very good discussion about her agenda including health care, tax reform, rebuilding military c

about it. by the confidence of the american people and the grace of god, we have an opportunity to do tremendous good for our country in the next few years. i know that each one of you will rise to the challenge, and i know that the best is yet to come for the united states of america, with the great republican leadership in the white house and in the people's house. it truly is humbling to be with all of you today. i see so many familiar faces in the room. 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

of americans, their rights in this united states senate. yet here we are speeding to use the budget process to fast-track a so-called reconciliation bill that will destroy the affordable care act and in doing so wipe out access to affordable care for americans and create total chaos throughout the american health care system. that is reckless, it is irresponsible, and it violates the traditions of this institution. i may be new to the senate, but i am not new to the way this senate has proudly been described by its members, both democrats and republicans, both current and former members. my colleague, senator harris, will attest that one piece of advice we all received from both democratic and republican members of this senate was to read the chapter in robert caro's book about lyndon johnson entitled "the desks of the senate." where robert caro talks about the burnished mahogany tops and he tells the story of the senate through the senators who were protagonists in great debates throughout our history, and he highlights the idea that this senate is supposed to be a deliberative bod

the head of the american petroleum institute today reported on the state of the oil and natural gas industry. he also talked about the policies that energy producers hope to see from the trump administration and new congress. >> [inaudible] in the audience here and thank you for being with us today. again, welcome to the state american energy presentation. the congress swore in the new administration set to take -- to start in a few weeks. we like to take this opportunity to share all levels of government from every region of the country and all along the political spectrum the fundamental nature of our society. this year's report details the many ways in which energy is fundamental to our society's standard of living. a healthy economy and strengthen national security. we also like to remind policymakers and the public of the mission to promote safety globally and to seek public policy that allows our industry to continue adding value to people's lives. we are part of the solution to spur the economy, improve the environment and strengthen national security. with that, i am pleased

[ applause ] today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from washington, d.c. and giving it back to you, the people.

, mitch mcconnell. [applause] senator mcconnell: not many americans know this, but at the beginning of our country, the presidents were all part of the establishment. for 40 years, from washington to john quincy adams, and then andrew jackson came along. he was the voice of the people. and regular people sent this new president to the oval office, to the white house, and he made history by serving two terms and changing america. my first visit to our new president in the oval office today, i looked behind his desk and there was a sculpture of andrew johnson. how appropriate. join me in welcoming the next president who will make history and turn america around, donald trump. [applause] president trump: thank you very much, mitch. so nice. thank you. thank you very much. [applause] president trump: thank you. thank you. so nice. nice to win. do we agree? it's been a while. it's been a while since we've had this position. nice to win. i want to thank so many friends in the room. sit down, everybody. let's enjoy ourselves. it is great to be in philadelphia. i went to school in philadelp

a context. since 1945 every american president, republican or immigrant sense truman has tried to carry for the series that says were going to try to prevent future great power conflict and creative world based on institutions like nato, the united nations and it's been an unprecedented network to try to strengthen the liberal order to prevent that darkness that golf the world prior to world war ii. when you evaluate the legacy of an american president we have to put it in that context. think what you can say about thm obama doctrine is it's been primarily about making sure that no matter what the united stateh does in the world we do it with allies and friends. we try to put forward others in regional solutions and problems for example i think you can see the contrast between the obama doctrine and what came before. iraq is in a good example. it's not a good shape now it was a good shape for president bush's administration. the differences you have a strategy that says united states is going to unilaterally solve t that problem with armed troops and partners.pa are we going to wo

recognized. mrs. black: mr. speaker, i rise today to speak on behalf of americans everywhere who are hurting because of obamacare. they're calling out for relief from this disastrous law and republicans are here today to begin delivering on our promise to provide relief. now we hear plenty of claims from the other side of the aisle during this debate, but let's be clear, obamacare has failed and it's only going to get worse. patients have seen skyrocketing deductibles and access to their doctors preferred have fewer options while others had their plans cancelled outright. in 2015 roughly eight million americans paid the obamacare penalty and more than 12 million claimed exemption from the penalty. that's 20 million americans. what does that say about this law that 20 million americans want nothing to do with it? many preferring to pay a penalty rather than to be subjected to its higher costs and fewer choices. . if you ask me it's strong evidence the american people are tired of paying more and getting less. of course the destruction of the obamacare has caused ex tends beyond the di

york, chuck schumer. [applauding] >> my fellow americans. we live in a challenging and tumultuous time. he quickly evolving, ever more interconnected world. a rapidly changing economy that benefits too a few while leaving also many behind. a fractured media. a politics. frequently consumed by rancor. we face threats foreign and domestic. in such times, faith in our government, our institutions, and even our country can erode. despite these challenges, i stand here today confident in this great country for one reason. you will, the american people. we americans have always been a forward-looking, problem-solving, optimistic, patriotic, and decent people. whatever our race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, whether we are immigrants or nativeborn, whether we live with disabilities or do not, in wealth or in poverty, we are all exceptional in our commonly held yet fierce devotion to our country and in our willingness to sacrifice our time, energy, and even our lives to making it a more perfect union. today, we celebrate one of democracy's core attributes. the peaceful tr

russian cyber attacks. in new york, president-elect trump met with sikh americans for trump and muslim-americans for trump. last month, the president-elect's relations for the muslim community with actor george takai. [ applause ] >> good evening. good evening, thank you very much. >> i'm george takai. [ applause ] a few days ago, this past week, on december 7th, we observed pearl harbor day, a very significant day, the day 75 years ago when japan bombed pearl harbor and plrnged the world into a second world war. that bombing revealed the military vulnerability of america. but it also revealed another vulnerability. our democracy is a people's democracy, and the people are easily stampeded. the horror of the bombing of pearl harbor swept through this country and there was a wave of war hysteria and racism directed at americans of japanese ancestry. overnight, we who looked like the people of the people who bombed pearl harbor were looked at with suspicion and fear and outright hostility, simply because we looked like the people that bombed pearl harbor. that hysteria swept acros

care, creating uncertainty in arkansas, hurting americans. we need to replace it with real reforms that focus on the patient not the government. but this law is not just bad for patients and health care cos. obamacare's onerous mandates and endless regulations are hitting industry across the board. it stifles business. it swell ches private sector job growth. it hurts our economy. let me give you an example. mr. chairman, superior linens in my district employs over 100 people. prior to the enactment of obamacare, superior recognized the importance of having a healthy work force. and was already providing quality health insurance to its employees. and they were able to manage their payroll insurance benefits in house. for the entire 60 years of their existence. but after the passage of the affordable care act, superior uld no longer manage the sheer a paperwork to prove they were complying with the law. let me be clear, thanks to obamacare, the company provided no new benefits, but yet had to outsource its payroll and management at a cost of $100,000 a year. this is just one of many

the safety of millions of americans simply to make a political point. they are ready to repeal and run. in massachusetts right now, families are watching this debate, and they're worried about what happens to them. kids with diabetes, moms with cancer, grandparents in long-term care, they are worried. hospitals and insurers are watching, too, and they are worried. worried about an irresponsible republican party that is more interested in political stunts than in helping americans get access to health care. i don't blame them for being worried, because this isn't a game. there is no magic replacement plan that will suddenly make everything all better. in massachusetts, we can't just snap back to our old health insurance system if republicans decide to rip up the affordable care act. and other states across the country are also facing the terrifying prospect that they will be left high and dry as a result of the republicans' reckless actions. every senator here has ideas about how to improve health care in america, but no democratic senator will vote to destroy it today based on the vagu

precipitous decline of the american economy. that is a fact. here is why. under him, we have seen the lowest labor participation rates since he the '70s. he didn't mention that tonight. it has been the worst recovery since the 1940s. the lowest home ownership rate and 51 years. over 11 million more americans are on food stamps since he became president. over 43 million americans living in poverty, one in five american families without somebody in the labor force. not one person. one in six adult men ages 18-34, they are either incarcerated or out of the labor force. president president obama will e accumulated more debt than all the other presidents combined. it will be almost $20 trillion which means, in the past eight years, he has amassed $9.3 trillion in debt. a guy that once said $9 trillion in debt? that is irresponsible. that is unpatriotic. his assault on the business community, now get this. the estimated cost of regulation under obama. look at that number. a staggering 873 billion. dollars. in epa regulations alone, they have been finalized under president obama, that checks

americans of japanese ancestry. like the, we who look people who bombed pearl harbor were looked at with suspicion and fear, and outright hostility. simply because we look like the people who bombed pearl harbor. hysteria swept across this country, and it revealed how leadership in the community and particularly from the elected officials are two of people's democracy. time, the political leadership failed. here in california, we had an attorney general. he knew the law. he knew the constitution. he was the top lawyer of the state of california. but he was ambitious, he wanted to run for governor. he saw the single most popular issue in california, in the early 40's, was to lock up the japanese. so this attorney, who knew the got ine constitution, front of the "lock-u p-the-japanese" movement. he made a statement saying we spy,no reports of spy, -- espionage, or activity. ominous.is the japanese are inscrutable. we don't know what they are thinking. so it would be prudent to lock them up before they do anything. so for this attorney, the absence of evidence was the evidence. hysteria of

haven't seen any legislative language. none. they have no plan at all for american health care other than to cause immediate harm and to try to blame it on the law that they are repealing. there are only a few ways that this could end up. i'll give you a couple. first there could be the equivalent of a health care cliff similar to what we've done with our fiscal situation where they have to periodically shovel money at the problem and bail out the insurance companies. so what's going to happen is they're basically eviscerating the revenue that provides the subsidies for individuals but they're going to realize these subsidies are quite popular but we just eliminated the revenue. we don't want to increase taxes so let's borrow money and keep shoveling money at the insurance companies. or they may make minor reforms in the a.c.a. and call it a replacement. that would be great. i do not see that we're on this path right now. or they're really going to repeal the law and take health care coverage away from millions of americans. this is completely irresponsible. so what happens when they

are going to make affordable heart dish health care and there for americans. host: some republican lawmakers feel -- we saw a news conference yesterday with a republican study committee revealing some of their plans. their initial proposal. who do you think has the lead on this? guest: i think there's a lot of debate. people like tom price who historically have been leaders on this. a lot of people will pick up that legislative vessel. the republican study committee putting out its ideas. through the legislative process, that open and honest debate -- what we are not going to do is pass it to figure out what is in it. now that we have the white house and donald trump at the pulpit being able to talk to the american people that is a team approach that i think will allow the american people to see what we are doing and get their input into this as we go forward. host: calls waiting for congressman reed. let's go to betty on our democrats -- look go to bennie on our democrats line. caller: good morning. , there's always talk about rebuilding the military. you spend years trying to get

, american leadership must not only be renewed, it must be asserted. we have many advantages on which to build. our alliances are durable and our allies are looking for a return of our leadership. our men and women in uniform are the world's finest fighting force and we possess -- [ shouting ] >> protect america! rex tillerson, i reject you! i reject you! my home was destroyed by hurricane sandy. >> our men and women in uniform are the world's finest fighting force and we possess the world's largest economy. america is still the destination of choice for people the world over because of our track record of benevialenece and hope for our fellow man. america has been indispensable to provide stability to prevent another world war, increase global prosperity and encourage the expansion of liberty. our role in the world has also historically entailed a place of moral leadership in the scope of international affairs, america's level of good will toward the world is unique and we must continue to display a commitment to personal liberty, human dignity and principled action in our foreign polic

jackson teaches a class on the fill los of w.e.b. du bois an influential african-american civil rights activist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. he describe's du bois's early life and his relationship with other activists of the time. this class is about an hour. >> thank you today. as you know, we just entered african-american history month and carter wilson established that in 1926 and he established that for three reasons. one, it was the birthday of frederick douglas. we don't know the exact date. the birthday of abraham lincoln, who established emancipation proclamation and also the birthday of w.e.b. du bois. he was bonn 1868 in massachusetts. my wife was pregnant with our second child and she went into labor of february 22nd. and so as we went to the hospital i said, dear, if you have this child tonight, he'll be born on george washington's birthday. and i have -- i didn't say anything about mr. washington, but if you hold out a couple hours we'll have a du bois's baby and you can imagine a young man and ladies what you would say to your husband ten or 15 years

trump has promised the american people that mexico would pay for the border wall. it was the rallying cry at his campaign rallies all year. he is looking for a way to fund the wall. he is going to have u.s. taxpayers fund the wall and try to get reimbursement from mexico. what sean spicer floated today was a 20% tax on imports from mexico. he thinks that would raise the dollars necessary to fund the wall. charlie: what is that number? 10 billion dollars or $14 billion? >> i am not sure the exact a prettyut it's provocative move from the white house to try to tax goods from mexico. that will trickle down to u.s. consumers. people buy products from mexico, like avocados, so there is a real concern among republicans that this will have a negative impact on consumers in the united states. the same time, if mexico imposes tariffs on american goods, that may lead to job losses in the united states. >> that's exactly right. trump the things i think might be missing here is that mexico is one of the most important trade partners of the united states and has been for years. this is no

african-americans at the time. and du bois says this, easily the most striking thing in the history of the negro since 1867 is the assent of mr. booker t. washington, day of astonishing commercial developments was donning, doubt and hesitation overtook the freedom sun. then leading man began and his career of booker t. washington with a single definite program at psychological moment when the nation was little shamed -- it was concentrating energies elsewhere. his program of industrial education conciliation to the south and submission in silence the political rights. and so he challenged the idea of booker t. washington, which was to accept things as they are, to go slow, to participate in industrial education. and the best way to establish a difference between booker t. and w.e.b. needs a hand to hold and when miss ann looks for a cook, why stick your nose inside a book. i don't agree said w.b. as i should have the drive to seek knowledge i'll do it. charles and miss can look for place for another hand cook. there are things others who maintain the right to cultivate the brain. an

more than ten hours. throughout that testimony, the american people had the opportunity to hear and learn directly from senator sessions that what all of us on this committee already knew to be true because we have served with him for so long. he knows the department better than any nominee for attorney general in recent memory. he's a man of integrity. he's a man of his word. and most importantly, he will enforce the law regardless of whether he would have supported passage of that law as a member of the senate. he explained that he enthusiastically prepared. he is prepared to set aside his role as a legislator and adopt a new role as our chief law enforcement officer. and he told us he'll execute that law with strength, with integrity, and with independence in order to provide for equal justice for all. that's precisely what we want in an attorney general, equal and fair application of the law. his answers to written questions made all this more clear. and i might add, there were just quite a few written questions given to him in addition to what was went on during those 10 hours.
