Watch at 6 00 p. M. Eastern on cspan. And the senate gavels in sunday at 2 00 p. M. They will consider amendments to the current highway bill. Funding is set to expire at the end of the month without congressional action. We spoke earlier with a capitol hill reporter. With current funding set to run out at the end of the month, the senate is set to formally begin debate on its bill. Manu raju of politico, youre right that ted cruz came to the floor and accused Mitch Mcconnell of telling a flatout lie. Tell us what that was all about. Mr. Raju it was really a remarkable moment. Rarely do you see a senator going and singling out another senator in stark terms, accusing them of lying, someone within their own arty. And stashed their own party. And certainly a party leader. It just does not happen in a chamber like the senate. It is usually a very collegial place. Youre not supposed to address senators directly. But Mitch Mcconnell assured him and other republicans that the xm bank, which
Researchers, not just serves working. I hesitate to do this because he represented the state that is the most affected but i would love to see if someone has the courage to question the scale of money we give the universities for administering this. You look at the percent are part gets percent harvard gets. Come on guys, cant work that go straight into research . Sen. Warren let me ask you the question on the funding part of this. Should we be doing Capital Budgeting as a way to increase the funding substantially for nih . In order to fund nih, do we have to cut shortterm spending . Speaker gingrich we dont have to. I would take it off budget and issue an alzheimers bond. The longterm tidal wave is so enormous the most fiscally prudent thing you can do is to find a way to undercut that wave through research. I and happy to defend that notion anywhere in the country in terms of talking with conservatives. There is no all are other alternative that works. If you look at how the navy bui
This is a annual event that the Japan Program hosts to invade thinkers who we often dont get to listen to here in washington. This year i am extremely honored to have these leaders. They have been my mentors. I respected them deeply. They have caught me so many things over the years that i have known them. Im very very happy they agreed to come to washington and talk to us this morning. You all have a bio in the program thats in your seats. I save you from a lengthy introduction. It is to demonstrate joint operations on selfDefense Forces and we will listen to what they have in mind about future defense posture. Before i start im a director of Japan Program here.

Make them all vulnerable. A man rescued from a manhole. This is where im going to die. His incredible survival story. Plus, the case of the sister bandit. Nuns holding up banks. And the daredevil at yosemite. Plunging 800 feet without a parachute. Good Tuesday Morning to you all. We begin with a display of unity at the white house as President Trump praises the republican leadership. Praising Mitch Mcconnell declaring theyre closer than ever but this morning the president is now under fire for making a false claim about his predecessors and also now in the crosshairs of senator john mccain speaking out about the direction of the country. Abcs Serena Marshall has the latest from washington. Reporter that press conference that was hastily arranged in the rose garden yesterday was supposed to be about Mitch Mcconnell and President Trumps outstanding relationship but it was the comments he made about his predecessors and Fallen Soldiers that has some calling him a liar.

We are going to all try to minimize the time we spend talk so we can maximize questions and what we can learn from those certainly impossible to ignore the public outcry with instances that involves passengers even as recently as yesterday but one of the most rightly and purported instances was with chicago flight 9411 and lots of lessons to be learned and im sure we are going to hear what some of those Lessons Learned both with the airport and airline and the industry are today and looking at what happened to Sarah Cantwell and i along with mr. Nelson, senator nelson really sent an immediate letter in that letter said the last thing of paying Airline Customer should expect this to be physically taken off and airline and the purpose of todays hearing is to follow up on the letters we sent, the responses we got and really to out what went wrong and what are we going to do to be sure that doe
