our goal today is to try to foster a discussion based on principles, not politics, much like the example of bipartisan bridge building said by democratic senator ted kennedy and republican senator orrin hatch, passing some of the most important legislation of their times, such as the americans with disabilities act and the children s health insurance program, and forming an unlikely friendship that transcended their partizan differences. in that spirit, in just a moment, we ll hear from democratic senator jeanne shaheen of new hampshire and republican senator joni ernst of iowa. they re used to facing off from their posts on the armed services committee in the senate, and clearly they have different views on the biggest issues facing the nation. but for the next hour, we ll try to find common ground through constructive disagreement and search for the bipartisan compromise that has been the hallmark of the u.s. senate for more than two centuries. and now, without further ado,
