CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings November 30, 2015

Guest the things that dont necessarily need to be accomplished, on the house side, they will be addressing a couple of disapproval issues regarding the epa to have been put out by the Obama Administration. That is a special legislative process that allows for these resolutions of disapproval that have already passed through the senate to get to president obamas desk. Obamagh, when it is the administration epa that came up with the regulations regarding powerplant emissions, they are certain to face the veto pen. We aresenate side, looking at the budget reconciliation process coming up assuming all goes well monday evening. Sometime the second half of the week could be the extended voting that goes along with moving the bill through budget reconciliation. That would be a measure that would repeal as much of the Affordable Care act or obamacare as they can, but that is before the actual business of the day and a deadline in december. The thanksgiving break, we heard a lot on the house side about the topic of Syrian Refugees. Is that on the agenda at all . The discussion about Syrian Refugees as well as the question of what to do about the Visa Waiver Program and the ability of european citizens and others to enter the United States without needing to obtain or foras a tourist search or business meetings or the like, that will certainly be on the agenda, but there is nothing that has sort of been bubbling up yet in terms of how the senate will address that. Why would say is this is where we get into a discussion about issue has tot that be tied into the government. Theing measure appropriations bill will be needed to arrive by the second week of the month. That is where the big test will a, whether or not it will be stand up over the Syrian Refugees as part of the proposal. Host part of the discussion about the funding is whether they would be a potential for another government shutdown. What is the outlook now of that happening . Guest since there has been a budget agreement on the top line numbers, there has been a less likelihood that there would be a shutdown showdown approaching december 11 or actually going into a shutdown past december 11, but that is not to say there are not lots of negotiations still to be done, including over things like policy writers that pertain from everything from epa to Labor Department regulations to all sorts of things. Even is also i would add before we get to that point, there is a more immediate deadline facing lawmakers to once again extended or finish extend or finish the report on surface. There is no shortage of things that have to be done over the next two weeks. They have to be careful they dont accidentally take too long doing anything and have a shutdown without really planning for it. Host you hinted at this. How many working days between now and the end of the year . Guest that is a really good question. Probably. 10 december 11 is one probably everyone would like to be out of here. They might work through december 18. Certainly, nobody wants to get closer to christmas. Christmas falls on a friday this year, so ideally, they would like to take the entire week off. Host niels lesniqewski is a staff writer updating us on what is expected on capitol hill this week. Thanks a lot. Guest thank you.

Thank you all so much. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. It is wonderful to be here. Hillary ] thank you all very much. That i am all that stands between you and the kickoff of the patriots game. But it is wonderful to be here, and i want to thank everyone who has worked so hard to build this party and the campaign from the bottom up all over this state. E am so honored to have th support of your terrific senator jeanne shaheen. And your amazing governor and your next senator maggie hassan. They inspire me every day with their leadership, and i also want to thank congressman custer and carol sheaporter for your leadersand those of come aggressor organizers, volunteers who are doing so much across the state. With your help, we are going to elect democrats up and down the ballot next year. [applause] hampshireu know new has always been a special place for me and my family. Foughtve bought for me for me, now i am pining for you. Now i amart fighting are yofor you. The stress you feel when the bills pile up walking to the mailbox can seem like an act of courage. Are also the right of finally getting that better job, feeling secure enough to put a little more away for your retirement. You have shared with me the feelings that you have when you are caring for an aging parent or a child suffering from Substance Abuse or a loved one with a mental illness. I listen to your stories and am humbled by the courage and resilience. It can take all the strength you , especially few are already under pressure at work and there is no one to lean on at home. I know we can do better. A way to you found make it work in the worst of the recession, taking a second job, working at the shift, putting away a little extra money when you. Were going to make this recovery work for you. We are going to make the economy and country work for everyone, not just those at the top. [applause] we are not going to do it by making promises we cannot keep. We will do it the way we have always done it before, rolling up our sleeves and getting the job done together. Lets start with where we are. Thanks to the hard work and determination of the American People, we have come back from the worst financial crisis since the great depression. I want to ask you to remember the mess president obama inherited. I want you to remember the fact s. Our economy does better when we have a democrat in the white house. [applause] this is evidence that our republican friends would prefer we forget. They will do everything they can to impose a state of collective amnesia on us. I am not going to let them forget. The last 30 years, we have had five residents. Three republicans and two democrats. I happen to know both of those democrats. [laughter] each of them inherited economic problems from their republican predecessor. In my husbands case, it was a recession. The fact that the debt of the United States had been quadrupled in the previous 12 years. I remember bill telling me shortly after the election, it is so much worse than they told us. He was asked at the time, what did you bring to the white house from arkansas . Saidused and thought and arithmetic, i guess. He got to work. Eight years later, we had 23 million new jobs and income rose , and incomes rose for everybody, not just those at the top, but people in the middle, working people, and poor people all saw their incomes go up. [applause] and we ended up with a balanced budget and a surplus. But you would think that might have given the republicans an idea about how to run the economy. But instead, they went right act back to trickle down economics. Cutting taxes for the wealthy, getting out of the way of corporations. And we know what happened. Shortly after the 2008 election, president obama called me and asked me if i would see him in chicago. I did not know why. It turned out he wanted me to be secretary of state. Before we got to talking about me it is sot to much worse than they told us. I have heard that before. But it was. We were on the brink of a great depression. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month. Before the president turned it around, nine million americans have lost their jobs, 5 million homes lost to foreclosure, 13 trillion in Family Wealth disappeared. Now, i do not think that president obama gets the credit he deserves for saving the economy from the republican mess that he inherited. [applause] but were still not running the way america should. Paychecks for most people have barely budged. But corporate profits and ceo pay are at near record highs. Something is wrong with the top when the top 25 Hedge Fund Managers make more in a year than all of the kindergarten teachers in america combined. [applause] i know, there are big changes in the economy that did not start with the Great Recession and they will not end with the great recovery. Many americans are finding it harder and harder to get ahead. There is too much talent that many barriers to opportunity, too much talent that sits on the sidelines. Costs that hit hardworking families like prescription drugs , childcare, and College Tuition and are all rising faster than income. That is why in this campaign i , i am fighting for an economy where nothing holds you back and everyone who works hard can get ahead again. Opportunities should be as universal as talent. Because america can only live up to our potential when every person can live up to his or hers. Let me tell you about the america we are fighting for together. It is an america that creates the good paying jobs of the future where wages rise faster , than cost. Today, i laid out a plan to help put americans to work. Repairing our roads and bridges and tunnels and all of the airports and the ports and the rail systems. Building that economy for the future. [applause] i was very proud to be endorsed by maher walsh and have so many of the Construction Trade unions that have endorsed me. They know that i am going to put them back to work. [applause] we will establish a National Infrastructure bank to get more public and private investment flowing. Not just bricks and mortars. As important as those are by , 2020, i want 100 of american households to have access to affordable highspeed internet no matter where they live. [applause] we also have to set some big goals for clean energy and for scientific research. I have said, lets install half a billion solar panels in four years and enough Renewable Energy to power each home in the every home in the next 10 years. To get paychecks growing, we must raise the minimum wage so that it no longer is a poverty wage. [applause] now, you know the republicans do not favor that. Youve heard them. Theyve been crisscrossing New Hampshire day in and day out. So far as i can tell not one of , them believes in raising the minimum wage. Here is what i dont understand about this. I think it is really unfair when people work fulltime and particularly because two thirds of minimumwage workers are women, work full time and cannot get themselves out of poverty. It is also shortsighted. We are a 70 consumption economy. You raise the minimum wage and. We know that puts upward pressure on additional wages. That means more customers for New Hampshire businesses. It means more Financial Security for New Hampshire families. It actually helps to spur the recovery. As the republicans the next time you see them go into town, what is it you do not like about raising the minimum wage to help people get ahead and help our economy do better . [applause] and you know, im almost embarrassed saying this, it is november of 2015, after all. But it is time to finally guarantee equal pay for women. [applause] now again, this is another one of those issues that the republicans just do not believe they should be for. I dont get this either. When you shortchange women, you shortchange families, you shortchange the economy. The next time they come through one of the towns of New Hampshire, you see them on the street stop them and ask them, why dont they believe in equal pay for equal work for women . [applause] and we have to make it easier for Small Businesses get the loans they need to grow and hire not just the corporations that , can afford to hire the lobbyists to get the loans they want to grow even bigger than they are. And we have to close the loopholes that let corporations ship jobs overseas. Instead, reward businesses that invest right here in america, training new workers, sharing profits with employees instead of bigger bonuses for ceos. If it works here in new england, it can work for america. [applause] now, so far as i know, im the only candidate in this race that youras pledged to raise wages, not your taxes. Those at the top should pay more and you should pay less. I have proposed tax cuts to help middleclass families pay for college, pay for welfare, and help to pay for an elderly parent. Orill oppose any plan proposal that takes any money out of your paychecks. We are fighting for an america where everyone who works hard has a ladder of opportunity and and that starts with , highquality preschool available for every family in this country. [applause] all of our kids deserve the best start in life. It also means getting back what to what works in k12 education and supporting our teachers, not scapegoating them. [applause] it means making College Affordable for everyone. You should not have to borrow a dime to pay tuition and at a Public College or university. Everybody should be able to refinance their student that, like they can refinance a mortgage or a car loan. But when it comes to affordable college, i will not spend your tax dollars paying for Arnold Donald trumps kids or any other millionaires kids millionaires kids to go to college. That is not a good investment. That is not smart. I want to help workingclass, middleclass, and poor kids go to college. Instead of being priced out. [applause] and i believe a true ladder of opportunity has to include lifelong learning, job training, and apprenticeship. Today in boston i talked about , apprenticeships because i think it is one of the best ways to prepare young people and people returning to the workforce for the jobs that we are going to have. I also believe that middleclass jobs should lead to a secure retirement that you can count on. [applause] i will fight to protect Social Security and expand it for those who need it most, especially elderly women, widows, and people who have spent years caring for others without getting paid. [applause] the caregivers of america deserve security just like everyone else. We are also fighting for an america that leads the world in strength and smarts. Keeping our people safe and defeating the terrorist networks threaten us. That threaten us. We need every pillar of American Power to get more allies off the sideline to go after isis in the air, on the ground, and in cyberspace. But we cannot give in to the fear mongers that say we are at war with islam or we should put every muslim in america in a government database. That is not who we are. Besides that is not smart techniques toent find out the information we need to keep us safe in the first place. [applause] look, the fact is that no other country on earth is in better position to thrive in the 21st century. I happen to think that America America is already great. We just have to make it greater by working together and solving our problems again. [applause] in this election, you arent just choosing a president , you are choosing a commanderinchief. I promise you this. I will get up every single day and do what it takes to keep our sure our country is safe and strong. I take this very personally. I was a senator from new york on 9 11. I spent years working with the victims of that horrific attack. Working with the few survivors who were so grievously injured. Working with the First Responders and the construction workers who ran towards the pile and stayed there for months, ending up sick themselves. I take a back seat to no one when i tell you i will do what whatever is necessary to protect us, but i will also do it in a way that further promotes our values and makes it absolutely clear that this country of ours will continue to lead the world, not only in the dangerous spots, but in pursuit of the opportunities that will make us even greater in the future. [applause] we are also fighting for an america where we lift each other up and we have each o
