here in washington, d.c. interestingly, gracie's sister actually worked inside the white house as well but as a free woman. she wanted her sister to work in the white house as well and she recommended to andrew jackson that he go purchase her and he did. gracie bradley turned out to be -- he bought her is like a cook, but it turns out that gracie bradley ends up being the best andstress in the area she became the master seamstress in the hermitage in tennessee. she ended up living out her whole life with the jackson family because her sister wanted her closer to her in the white house. other presidents, like john tyler did not want people to know that they were buying slaves. when you get to tyler, you are getting closer and closer to the civil war. they did not want people to know what they were doing. tyler would go out and hire a middleman who would go out and buy slaves and then transfer the slaves to tyler. tyler was so adamant that no one would know what he was doing, but he refused to use any of the mo

we need that in washington, d.c. we need a balanced budget amendment and we need to move towards a surplus again. i know how to do this. i did it as governor of state of florida. three similar reserves and were pretty high as we had line-item veto power and a used to 2500 separate times. me vetoled corleoni. i embrace it for some legislators but line items in the budget we called them turkeys instead of porkbarrel. we call them turkeys for some reason. i would take them out of the budget. there was a sigh of relief because they said i can go back home and say that i tried to get it done but the mean old governor was the guy that did not let it happen. i will happily i would love to take that responsibility in washington. the next president should have line-item veto power, to bring order and discipline to the budget. we did something no other state did, and now a few have done it. we eliminated lifetime employment protections for government. not to be punitive, but to make the point that government is the servant, no

before i go any further, i have to make one local plug for the state of washington. we have a nominee for teacher of goingar, mr. nathan gibbs , i hope you will all vote for him when he comes up for that tremendous honor. we all know why we are here. ensuring that every single student has access to a quality is our paramount duty. it's one thing share, republicans and democrats alike. we know that the governors can help to implement this tremendous opportunity. last year i just want to tell you what we wanted to build on in our state and why i am excited about this new law upon opportunity. a paramount duty of our state, we have made unprecedented investments in our children in the last couple of years. we have had the largest investment in k-12 funding in the history of our state. i am proud to say that there was one state that enjoyed tuition reductions for all of our college students, community colleges well, the state of washington, and we hope that the other governors will follow our lead eventually. every kindergarten serving child will have access and we have

and after all, i came to washington in 1966 and we were in the middle of the vietnam war. within a half dozen years, we would be involved in watergate, so things have never been smooth in washington. there were always, on the hill, a number of people both democrats and republicans, center-left, center-right who would reach across the aisle to get business done. they would pass appropriation bills, passed welfare reform, passed legislation to move the country forward. i called that body of people the "bridge builders" because they were building bridges across the aisle. the sad thing is, nearly all of those people are gone. the bill bradleys, the jack danforths, the bob doles, the lloyd bentsens, they were probably two dozen or more senators who were in that category, and you could actually get things done. the committee chairs have real authority and when they committed to doing something, it would get done. most of those people are gone. they did not get defeated for the most part, they got frustrated it and fed up and and left on their own accord. a good example of this

people to rein in washington. my view is that movement will keep growing and growing. one of two things is going to happen, either congress will finally listen and send term a minute to the states for ratification, where we will see a movement in the states. one are the other, we will get it done. yes? hold on one second for the microphone. >> what is your plan for improving the infrastructure of america, including roads, bridges? whenever going to get the work on the ground in america? ted cruz: terrific question. one of the problems we have right now is taxpayers send money to washington. it goes into a black hole. i talked before about the 10th amendment. h amendment is what keeps decision-making close to the people. , for example, you talked about roads and bridges. there is no reason why the federal government should decide what roads and bridges to build in the state of new hampshire.

do you not want that for washington, d.c., as well? [applause] in the first place and take that skill is the department of veterans affairs. you have seen the atrocious waiting list of veterans coming home do not get care. last year the department came up with an idea, we will give out bonuses, $142 million of bonuses that went out to reduce the waiting list, which sounded like a worthy objective. vets died, and only three people have been fired. heads will roll when i am president of the united states. we will give veterans expanded choices where they can go to their private provider or private clinic or a local hospital. the best way to assure the department does a better job is to make sure veterans have other choices. it works in schools. it works across the board. giving people choices makes everybody better. we desperately need this to honor the dedicated service of men and women in uniform that come home and deserve to be in the front of the line, not the back of the line. here is the challenge. everybody has a lot of ideas. on

the gentleman from washington. mr. newhouse: thank you, mr. speaker. i would just respond that certainly there are many issues facing the congress today, many important things that we have to consider in many issue areas but that should not preclude us from addressing a very important issue and that's access to our national -- our federal lands by sportsmen, by hunters, by fishers. protecting the ability of americans to enjoy our natural abundance of federal lands i think is something our president roosevelt who the good lady from new york quoted would be very much in favor. certainly he was a proponent of enjoying those same federal lands. any efforts that we can put forth to make sure that we can continue those strong traditions of americans being exposed to the great outdoors in this country is something that we should do all we can to preserve. i might note, too, that this is a bipartisan-led effort in the house of representatives. passed in the last two congresses, many of the provisions of this bill have enjoyed

there was an article in "the washington star," the competitor to "the washington post" by one of the great supreme court reporters of all time. and the headline was, "the supreme court will never be the same. everyone, left, right, center is going to miss justice douglas." i think it's the same with scalia. >> i love ending this discussion with bob woodward talking about headlines from the '70s. it's kind of perfect. >> that's all i can do. >> thank you all very much for that discussion. >>> as we've just been talking about, the white house is vowing to nominate a new supreme court justice. who will it be? our experts' top picks right after the break. microsoft cloud changes our world dramatically. it wasn't too long ago it would take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome. now, we can do a hundred per day. with the microsoft cloud we don't have to build server rooms. we have instant scale. the microsoft cloud is helping us to re-build and re-interpret our business. this cloud helps transform business. this is the microsoft cloud. text mom. i'll be right back. be good. boys have
