states one year to create plans that will then be reviewed by epa. you know, dave, that some states can move that back, particularly if they get together in regional arrangements, which is the most cost-effective way that states might come together to get the reductions that will be required once the rule is finalized. and if they choose to go that route, as the northeast states have done, or as california has done, to go to a more market-based system and get together to find the most cost-effective reductions, then they will have until 2018 to finalize those plans. i am confident we will get our job done. i am confident we will resist any -- i have no doubt that there will be an attempt to try to overturn this to the congressional review act, but i am certain we have the votes to uphold the rule once it is finalized. there is a long history of litigation starting in 2007 that recognizes that co2 is a dangerous pollutant and that epa has the authority to regulate it. there's no doubt going to be legal challenges to this, legal challenges to almost anything the epa does. but they have ha

encouraged by the relationship that you've kindled with our friend, dave camp from michigan over in the house as chairman of of the way ways and means committee and really have set an example fortress of us. it's eye -- example for the rest of us. it's ironic, the ranking member of the committee and committee chairman are sitting across the aisle from each other. but the two of them, in terms of providing personal examples of the kind of leadership that we -- do as i do, not as i say, because both of you are terrific at reaching across the aisle. principled compromise and get things done of the and i want to mention -- let me just ask and he can just maybe nod his head, but my recollection is when we took up the issue of whether or not there should be a medicare prescription drug program, that was supported by -- initially by senator kennedy and by president george w. bush, i think in the end, the -- the version of that that prevailed was the version i think preferred by president bush. and my recollection is that senator baucus may have gone across the aisle and supported that vers

under the law. >> host: we'll go next to dave in rome, georgia, democratic caller. >> caller: yes, thank you. you just hit the nail on the held, sir. this whole problem has come from a republican administration, reagan administration, which devastated the united states. let me explain about what i'm saying. reagan granted amnesty, just straight out amnesty. they said three, but those ten million now are the ones that are here. basically, what i'm trying to say is this: now you have a problem, you have the republican party, they are against immigration. they are against anything that they used to be for. really it's killing this country. they messed the country up, george bush. reagan messed it up, and reagan should have been impeached but because here had a house -- he had a house with tip o'neill who was also irish. could you explain to me why how many immigrants are illegal or legal, came from reagan, the administration that granted amnesty. thank you. >> host: all right, dave. dave's a democrat in rome, georgia. >> guest: dave, i think looking back at that 1986 proposal, there

i would amend it. i have been bugging dave because he runs this new -- >> you put him up to this, didn't you? >> to undertake some kind of a discretionary spending initiative. i would want it not just to monitor the effects of the caps, but also to undertake the bigger question of where should we be spending more and where should we be spending less and can we assemble some evidence about how programs are working or not working that would be guidance for the congress on just that question. >> the gentleman in the blue. >> bob hines from here at brookings. you all agreed that sequestration is bad. the budget caps probably aren't good, either. a republican congress probably isn't going to be raising taxes any time soon. dave, you kind of threw out there a minute ago faster gdp growth. where is the discussion, though, regarding say effect on the fiscal policy, worky on the fiscal policy from the congress, you know, to perhaps free up the corporations to do more under capital spending, that rising tide, all boats float kind of a thing, and wouldn't that really get rid of a lot of thi

interesting panel. [inaudible] directed for dave and alan. because you both alluded to the issue, you talked about the growing intensity and the effective poe aroundization -- polarization and the negative image of the opposite party. and i'm wondering to what extent -- and i'd welcome the entire panel addressing the issue -- this is a function of the changing media environment, the greater decentralization, fragmentation of the media and the capacity for us to cocoon or cul-de-sac in our own comfort zone with particular media outlets. david, you began to touch on that. i'd be entered in the panel greatsing that at greater -- greasing that at greater -- dressing that at -- addressing that at greater length. >> i mean, i think you raise a good point. i don't think our measures quite get at what you're talking about which is more social networks and maybe people who discuss politics which some other folks here i know studies. i mean, i think it's worth analyzing. i don't know that we have the evidence to answer your question very well. >> okay. right here. right. right here. >> dave mcel by fr

about it in any details on turning your back on three years of hard work by dave camp. it punishes states with cuts to nursing home services that are keyed directly to elderly and disabled who are going to get pounded at the end of this cycle and it ignores the infrastructure deficits where a bipartisan group of governors where 31 state executives of state wide chambers of commerce provide resources were infrastructure investment. this budget turns their back on it and freezes for a 30% reduction. i hope within the course of debate on amendments we might be able to make a little progress in narrowing this opportunity. >> i yield two minutes to the gentleman from michigan. >> thank you. thank you mr. chairman and ranking member van hollen especiallespeciall y for welcoming me to this important committee at this very important time. i think we know in this country what it takes to grow our economy and as a result reduce the deficit that we hear so much about that is so important that we address. the american people understand which unfortunately too many people in this body fail to g

dave 14 august is indeed a history making day. last night at 12:00 when it lets the rumors were confirmed at the world was a piece i said a silent prayer and now that it won't be long until we are all together again. if you pull those rains hard enough maybe i will be home for christmas mother. certainly have a good chance of making it now although anything can still still happen and there are thousands of miles to cover but one can't help but be optimistic. it must have been an incredible feeling to know that the war you have been fighting in the war that they consume the world and taken our nation's young men and women thousands of miles away from home was over to a perceived word the rumors were confirmed the world was at peace and after years of battle in silent prayer the optimism of one soldier and that soldiers nation persevered. there are countless families across this nation and this country who share a similar story. one of their answer uncles their parents or siblings people to share the honor and obligation of wearing a uniform for the united states of america and al

the missouri senate race is dave helling, a reporter and columnist for "the kansas city star." democrat jason kander challenging republican senator roy blunt. why has this race become so competitive? dave: couple of reasons. roy blunt has been a senator from missouri for six years. he is in his first term. he remains a popular figure in missouri, but he has some flaws. he has been in washington for a long time. he is 66 years old, so he is well-known to people in missouri going back to the 1980's. this is not a year to be an incumbent. it is a tough deal to defend government or washington than it has been in past cycles. jason kander is a fresh face. he cut a very well known ad where he assembled someone to help him with rural areas of the state. a smart campaign, plenty of money, in a year in which incumbency is a problem. i think roy blunt has also run a smart campaign, so it is a one or two point race as we head into the final week. host: according to real clear politics, it is within the margin of error. in the national race, donald trump is ahead in missouri. what impact

-- host: we got your point, dave. guest: yes, dave, thank you. the most important thing that happens is what happened to you. you had one in your family. and it has made you more understanding of what transgender is. not that you experienced it yourself, but you know somebody. it is not some abstract thing that some athlete reality show star in hollywood is experiencing. it is something that your family is experiencing. right now, we saw a survey a month or two ago showing that about 20% of americans say that they know a transgender person. that means 80% of people don't either know somebody or they don't know that the know somebody, but what it means is that it is not a real thing for them. so people still have an understandable, and doubt that my experience is real, that somehow i am trying to make it up or pull some political agenda on somebody. when you are my family and you know that i have always been in good -- a good and reasonable person and now i am saying this, you can hear it better. and you can be willing to learn. when we heard from the father from pennsylvania, that is no

and says i need a pay raise. he hands them a copy of dave ramsey's basic look and says you -- basic book and says you don't have a problem with income, you have a problem without go. that's what wyoming people think. they are not interested in having their taxes raised so that we can put more people in the wagon. i used an example on the floor the other day of how the private sector are getting upset because government keeps growing and when it grows, that means there are more people in the wagon and less people pulling the wagon. they are getting tired of it. in fact, it is getting pretty hard to pull. we are not doing anything about it. that's their impression. they can't increase their income, why should we be able to increase our income? how do we solve this problem of outgo? we keep asking for this debt limit increase and it's always asked for as though sometime down the road, we are going to negotiate and figure out a way to solve the problem. you mentioned that you would rather we did not have these manufactured crises. america would prefer that as well. i think this is a man

the last 50 years. ink, dave's point is this -- an analogy -- we should not go on a diet because the first time we eat a low-fat anything, we are not going to lose all the weight we need to lose. we should not start walking every day because the first time we walk, we are not going to lose 10 pounds. the reality is, just like with you need toved when change lifestyle, eat healthier, get exercise, we need to change our energy lifestyle. we need to produce energy more healthily and we need to prepare for the impact of climate change that are already happening. like in alaska where there is 85% of the community will be affected by climate change. like in south florida where sea level rises and floods in neighborhoods that were not flooded before. we have to go on an energy healthy lifestyle which will take time, one step at a time, get other countries to join us, and we have to prepare for the climate change impact that is here already. host: i will go to michael from pittsburgh. guest: it is because dave and i are so good-looking and smart. host: you have support. go ahead, michael. ca

of the great privileges. to be secretary of the navy is to dave felt fine dash navy is to name all the ships. to be in the marine corps 241 years that is why naming the medal of honor recipients the individuals and to sacrifice for american values. is equally important. but then to set out to find a more part - - day more perfect union. that challenges us to establish the declaration of independence and the constitution. that is the importance of the long standing naval tradition but also of eight ships and human-rights. like its jobless. lucy stone. sojourn truth. americans why not? or in the navy seals. or the marines there were not expected in combat roles . why not? on the campus of harvard for columbia or you look princeton or rotc for decades. white? one not? bring back. as is always the case there wasn't a good answer. so to repeal don't ask don't tell and led the implementation and the navy and marine corps. end of the squadron's to call for the increase of female midshipman. and of those specialties of which have happened this past, jr.. and at the same time with the wreck
