So whenever the federal structure it cannot be a single solution it does come now in different ways and Different Things work with different communities where there are different challenges and opportunities from the of resource perspective we continue to find those great examples to drive that innovation. Is an incredible moment of history to have the support of republicans and democrats to have a bill in the house of representatives and in the senate and people to be motivated to Work Together all both sides to really do something to highlight the fact the Current System is broken and we can fix it federal league and at the state level so i am very excited about this. I work on the Senate Health committee talking about prevention can you talk more to that . More about what those look like. With those innovations it will take a switch and thinking so it is a change to the system said to have that focused so had we put them in todays programs set to talk about children oreo metals or that classification so to give them labels be have to be cautious that information will travel with that person so i think it is the dynamic some of the work that then i am making is doing to be supportive of young adults experiencing psychosis that approach is very different with what do want to accomplish it your life and powdery support that as well as treatment and one of the issues can refinance this Going Forward with private insurance dollars i had the privilege to go to one of these programs it is very different resaw pingpong tables it has a very different feel that they may come out with their data but is an Important Program to focus on because it would be a great disservice if it was a chronic condition.

Follow the case in the new series of landmark cases we will explore a this with the life and time the justices in these cases landmark cases at 9 00 p. M. Eastern we will take your calls and emails. We have changed the entire military reform system. Headquarter. Headquarter reductions, sexual assault, which continues to be a very important issue. Now we hear that the president has threatened to veto, and if i could quote from the editorial in the Washington Post on october 3,l says, the bill seeks 112 112 billion price tag, roughly the total mr. Obama himself requested. As it happens the bill also contains important policy changes, major Compensation Reform that creates Retirement Savings options from our Service Members and 50 million and lethal military aid for ukraine. Mr. Obama opposes the latter mandate which the bill would allow his administration to waive as well as the bills continuing of existing constraints on the power to open and close the basic guantanamo. The fact remains, that is not the most publicly stated reason to veto. Refusing to sign this bill would make history, but not in the getaway. Mr. Obama should pursue other legitimate goals were domestic sequestration of relief. Let me emphasize, congressman thornberry and i both adamantly oppose this methodology. We wants sequestration repealed, to give the military the ability to plan ahead rather than having to lurch from one year to another and from one cr to another. But we, when given the amount of money the pres. Requested, we authorized that amount of money. And for him to veto what is fundamentally a budget bill, policy bill in the name of cost is an appropriate. A proper avenue that the pres. Should pursue, if he wants to come is the money bill which is the appropriations committee. I am proud to have worked with congressman thornberry, and i would like to say the chairman and i will continue on the path of reform. There are many reforms that need to be made. Made. The chairman has been working on an acquisition reform issue for many years, and i look forward to joining him in the future first, we need to get this into law. I am pleased with the vote in the United States senate today. First, i want to congratulate chairman mccain on such a strong vote. Of course there were three others were not able to be here command you would have been even stronger. I think you seen today they agreed with virtually everything that is in the bill. It is this budget of code issue that largely is propelled by the white house that has caused her to be some concern, butconcern, but i want to emphasize, the substance of this bill reflects the bipartisan input on both parts and from both sides of the capitol. Actually, i had a different sentence,sentence, the 1st one, american president s rarely veto National Defense authorization bills, since they are, well, vital to national security. Now, that is the way it has been for 53 straight years. As you know, we have done the research. There have been a total of four vetoes in the last 53 years on mba. Everyone was because of something in the bill, not because of something that was outside the bill,bill, which is the thing of the present is complaining about today. Unfortunately all of the benefits, the acquisition reform, new retirement system, all the help for our troops there is no guarantee that that comes back. We could will lose it. On the other hand, if the pres. Signs this this bill he loses no leverage because the Appropriations Bills have yet to be appropriated and signed. Why not get this done and show the world that our Political Institutions can function for our own National Defense. The last. , think about the headlines today. Russias launch. Russians launched cruise missiles. A new ground offensive is starting in syria. There is danger wherever you look. This is absolutely one of the worst times i can imagine to veto a bill that supports our troops, gives the president additional tools to push back against russian aggression, gives new tools to push back against i sil. It really wouldit really would be misguided, and i hope the president will reconsider. Have either of theseyou spoken directly to the president about the issue . No. We have not spoken to the secretary of defense. We have spoken to the present. What is the plan . Do you wait and see what the budget negotiations are . If we cant override it obviously it will be outside events that dictate the future and fate of the legislation. In the meantime, we will be passed the end of a the end to another fiscal year. They will not be able to plan, nor will they be able to operate, nor will these new policies be put into effect. So, if we have to await, if there is further negotiations were discussions, and it is not without significant cost, very significant cost, particularly to the men and women in uniform and there ability to defend the nation. That is why this is so distasteful. The pres. Distasteful. The president has a political fight with republicans over a funding issue, so he has put the nations security at risk in order to try to make that point. I could not have put it better. It is distasteful, and i think that that is being mild. Remember, there is nothing we could have done in this build is satisfied with the pres. Is complaining about. It is about. It is a budget issue, appropriation issue, not a defense reauthorization issue which is why this would be historic, but not in a good way. Can you talk at all about potential negotiations . Do you think that is the best chance to give a deal get a deal that would raise the budget caps . I do not know. I continue to hope that the president just we will not veto, that there will be sufficient pressures on him. That is our 1st option. As far as events after that we know that there are discussions negotiations going on with mcconnell, weiner, and theweiner, and the white house. Frankly, this should not have anything to do with authorization and everything to do with the amount of money that is appropriate. Outside events will dictate the future . If the president vetoes and his veto is not overwritten. I guess you would have to ask chairman thornburg. It will be interesting to see how many we hold. What im saying is, we have done our job in the senate and the house, a piece of legislation done the bipartisan fashion. And so we will be in this negotiations. We cant control that. I can tell you what we can do with it will be doing on every Street Corner in america that we can stand on we will be talking about the lives of the men and women who are putting men and women in danger of our budget fight. This bill solve all problems, but i can do some good things for the country at a dangerous time. What do you think is the most likely scenario at this point . I dont know. The pres. Has has said he would veto it. Really, i dont know. It would be historic, if he does. I hope he dies. And if he does, we will have to work on next steps after that. But i just want to emphasize , there is no guarantee that all of the good things in this bill that all the democrats a bragbrag about will automatically come back. They may not. Any thought to contingency plans such as taking money recommendations of the bill and making it appear policy measure . We cant do that. You have to have money for it. We are proud of the entire year of hearing, putting together legislation, markups, brain to the floor or coming to the conference. We have spent an entire year, the majority of our time working with both sides , very bipartisan in both committees. And so we are not ready to say we will just discard what we have worked so hard for. I am very proud of this product and the fact that except for this funding mechanism it is totally bipartisan. Given the support of democrats for the large majority of the bill, is no, is not possible to amend the bill to reflect whatever budget deal occurs . I direct your attention to section 1501 in the conference report that says that if there is a budget agreement that changes the cabs or does something different, then these authorization levels are automatically adjusted to reflect that. That is my peemack. We are not walking the president or anyone else into anything. We have the flexibility in the bill right now, so lets do what we can, understand these conversations, and it will automatically be adjusted to reflect those conversations. All right. This agreement, senator reid and congressman smith on guantanamo. Do you see any room for negotiation . Let me say that six and a half years ago the white House Counsel came to my office and said there going to give you a plan for the closure of guantanamo because i happen to believe that quantum on a motion be closed, but must have certain circumstances including dod supervision and a whole lot of different aspects of it because i believe it is bad for american image. A call we are about to develop a plan. About four months ago i was in the oval office and the president said, im going to give you a plan. I want to close guantanamo. As a plan. I will discuss it with the house chairman and see if we can get some support for such a thing. They cost Something Like 2. 3 million and so they have never come over with a plan. After the secretary of defense and president s advisory on terrorism set of my office and said we will get you a plan right away. Of course we have no option. Are we expected to approve of the closing of guantanamo without a plan for how you dispose of those people that have been judged too great a threat to the security of the United States to be released . Of course not. Sonot. So now they are complaining about a simple fact, and we are asking the administration to certify the someone that they want to release is not going to come back and attack america. America. I dont think that is an outrageous request. One other point. The restrictions that are in this conference report about bringing guantanamo detainees back to the us is the exact same language that president barack obama signed into law and the Defense Authorization bills in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. And they last one year. It does come with a plan after six years, we can look at that and make adjustments if he gets the support of the american people. But beside this language into law year after year after year. All right. And the words of chairman mao, it ismao, it is always darkest before it is totally black. Thank you very much. Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy, utah congressman and florida congressman are running to replace House Speaker who is stepping down later this month. We get an update from texas republican congressman bill florez and spoke to a reporter. Chairman of the Republican Study Committee. Your group met earlier with the three members running for House Speaker. What did those candidates have to say . First of all, we had a great meeting meeting with over 100 of our membership in attendance. All three of the candidates did a really nice job of expressing their opinions about the direction they would later conference and presumably the country. They talked about how we can unify the party, the processes we would use, the way that we would develop our agenda and messaging, and the other parts of their individual personalities that they thought could help us get across the finish line in order to be a very successful and pacesetting conference. Majority leader Kevin MccarthyDaniel Webster of florida and from jason j fits oversight chair, what were a couple of two or three questions that your members wanted to know from each of those candidates . There were two questions that stood out that when across each of the candidates. With the 1st one was called will you support the nominee that we select tomorrow whenever we have a floor vote. The 2nd question was, if we dont have 218 votes for the nominee how are we going to get to 218 votes. How do we unify our party so that we are more effective. Have you had a chance to talk individually . Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I have. Will you or the art fc endorse any of the candidates prior to thursdays conference election . No. I do not think appropriate. We have over 170 members, and they each work for their constituents back home and therefore each of them need to make a decision that they think is best for their district and for their constituents. As a result of that we do not believe in blocked moving, endorsement, butvoting, endorsement, but what i was trying to do today and hosting this Candidate Forum is give each of our members a way to formulate an opinion about which person they should support. Not only tomorrow, but hopefully it will get them to a position to a they can support the ultimate nominee what concerns do you have as rsc chair. The primary concern is that we as a conference have struggled to be unified. Particular over the past few weeks it has been pretty difficult to be unified, although i do see the early green shoes, se
