i thank the gentlelady from colorado, ms. degette, for yielding and for her advocacy and work on this issue. today on the anniversary of roe v. wade, which changed history for women in america by allowing them to control their own bodies, i rise against the effort to roll back these rights. though we've come a long way in the last 42 years some politicians want to undo this progress and restrict access to critical medical procedures women may need. why have we been debating whether the government should seize control over a woman's health decision when the american people want us to work together to create good paying jobs, balance the budget and raise the minimum wage? instead this chamber is wasting time with a divisive argument about whether the government should jeopardize a woman's access to medically necessary procedures. politicians are not medical experts. and we should not deny a woman the ability to make her own decisions with those she trusts the most. i ask my colleagues to focus on the economy instead of spending

the people of colorado have lost money. incomes have declined over the past several years by thousands of dollars. we have to do better be a we have to make sure we are this stagnation of income here and people are basically earning the same thing they have for a decade or more because of the increasing costs. they're not making ends meet even though they're working harder than they ever have. we have to make sure we are working together to create jobs. that is why keystone xl pipeline is important in light tax reform is important. empowering people to develop our resources respectively. the 20 16th race, in terms of costs, it seems like there are more and more costs every year. it was the most expensive senate race in colorado history and one of the most extensive around the country, and it is unfortunate that these costs ge continue to increase. i tease tv news anchors, saying i hope the affiliates they work for get into profit-sharing, the cause they have seen a lot of money come across their desks recently. host: i want

charles is in colorado. good morning. caller: i think we should clarify the palestinian issue is the west bank is not a terrorist. he has been working with israel, trying to get a two state solution. a lot of the news we don't even hear from over there. after this latest conflict, israel took over 1000 acres of the west bank. this is what i see as they don't want the two state solution. they only recognize the lebanese order. one other point. with this march i think it's great. were not going to cure terrorism by going over and dropping bombs. we are going to cure it by coming together and having the imams and the muslims stand up and say you are not us. you are not part of this. we are all charlie. that's when it's going to start. what america has to do, what is the rallying cry? we had bases in saudi arabia. that is what osama and ladin was arguing about. we can't have guantanamo. we can't who i would grade. we can't be supporting israel blindly toward the takeover of the palestinian land and the decimation of their peo

to eliminate the limits on oil the xl pipeline will help to eliminate the glut in north dakota and colorado and will eventually raise the oil prices up. i believe the politicians are using this as their agenda to raise taxes and gasoline because these oil prices not going to last that long. i believe there is an agenda involved. i wish you would address that. host: thank you for the call. we will look at where crude is and has been going over the last several months. it's been on a downward spiral now well below $55 a barely. guest: it's amazing. i think it speaks to the strength of the supply side in this case. saudi arabia's motivation is not just to recap the players in the united states oil cap but it wants to weaken iran. if you look at the dialogue within opec and energy ministers pleading with each other for austerity and saudi arabia a looking back saying we are comfortable where the price is now, comfortable with market share and everything getting cut and a half in the meantime. it's pretty amazing. there are current trees. i mean the thing is it cost saudi arabia maybe a couple o

colorado has allowed medical marijuana since 2001. but in 2012, voters amended the state constitution to allow recreational pot, and gave the government one year to make it work. colorado's governor calls it the most ambitious social experiment of the 21st century. three other states also have approved recreational pot. but none has gone further or faster into the legal retail weed business than colorado. the experiment just hit the one- year mark and we wanted to know how it's going, so we headed to denver, the epicenter of a marijuana industry that's now in full bloom. welcome to the "mile high" city, where marijuana, long a symbol of the counter culture, now is just a part of everyday culture. it's a thursday night in downtown denver, and we were invited to a marijuana food and wine pairing catering to young professionals. you might expect to see the band toking up, but here everybody is. the food is sprinkled with marijuana, the wine infused with a strain called "killer queen." budtender leo dunaev selected it for the evening. >>

but the fact that republicans are able to win in colorado -- cory gardner who was the republican who won he has given a road map how you win in a state where it would look impossible for republicans. republicans don't need to win 50% of hispanics 50% of women, 50% of younger voters in the same way that democrats don't need to win 50% of white voters. they need to do better than 27%. it's about this increment. and that is not as hard -- need to go out from 27%-55% that's hard. from 27% to 40%, 42% 43% ok. and the other question, too is, will the slide on the white voters who did not vote with barack obama and the democratic party, that slide has been going on for quite some time. it is true the demographics favor the candidate who can reach out to a diverse group of voters, but you can't get 27% of the white vote and win just as you can't get 27% of the hispanic vote to win. >> the comparison was made between the american people not knowing jeb bush and us knowing hillary clinton. as a voter i believe there is a misconception in the media that we do hillary. while we know her policy,
