to report that to the fbi and some of these things are specifically targeted toward president trump. another major part of the bill is on-line ad disclosure. right now everybody as you know is watching tv and political ad there will be a blurb who says who is behind it. right now there's no requirement that facebook and google do that. they used to oppose the provision in the bill that says you must report it and must report it in this way. they go ahead-- they're doing it for the most part now, but there's no requirement. this is trying to adjust to that, to the things that happened in 2016 so we're ready for 20 is the big idea, the bill from the democrats. >> and then the bill acronym is shield. it's a long one, i'll read it. it stands for stopping harmful interference in elections for a lasting democracy introduced by the administration chair of california, and she tweeted how the bill cracks down on info sharing to keep foreign

governments out of our democracy. tell us about that aspect of the bill. >> there are a number of these that are direct responses to incidents that happened since 2016. so, in that case, that provision is very much interested in the polling data that paul manafort, the former campaign manager for trump might have shared, reportedly shared with russia. there's a-- the provision i mentioned about the duty to share comes from an interview where president trump, this is after the election, where he said, i don't know if i got an offer like that again for foreign help from a foreign nation, if i would report it to the fbi. i don't think he should have 0 to-- maybe he says i would listen to it and report it. this is trying to put into place requirements about specific incident that happened during 2016 and since. >> and another person on that administration committee, rodney davis, illinois, he introduced his own security legislatures and tweeted about it recently and i'm leading the

effort to prevent foreign interference in our election and what would the bill do? >> one thing that republicans found difficult, a lot of these bills have sponsors that are republican. they're saying there are bad version that we don't like here or provisions we like and put in our bill. right now there's no rule requirement to disclose their contributions on behalf of-- and the democrat and republican have the provision. and the other thing they're trying to go about a different way. one of the things the republicans say about ad disclosure about some on-line ads, we worry about first amendment issues on-line disclosures, but that the democrats are trying to apply that idea is bad because television and on-line

shouldn't have the same rules. fast moving technology you'll note that ads on-line are very short might be a few seconds so a thing that says you have to have x number of seconds of ad disclosure on the ads is potentially bad for the republicans 6789 -- what they've said maybe by mousing over it. >> what's the support looking like for the lofgren bill on the floor? >> it's going to have an awful lot, i anticipate, 100% support from democrats. it's going to have very little support from republicans. >> and any chance in the senate? >> no, probably not. one of the things that democrats are trying to do with this, in addition to trying to put republicans on the record and be able to show during election campaigns that they voted against these kinds of ideas that they think are going to help combat foreign interference, they're trying it put pressure on the senate to take action. there are things the senate has done on election security, but smaller and rejected

comprehensive bills from the house. they're trying to pressure the house along the lines what they'd like bigger and broader. >> thank you, we'll keep following you @timstarks. >> thank you. >> the house will be in order. for 40 years c-span has been providing america unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court and public policy events from washington d.c. and around the country. so you can make up your own mind. created by cable in 1979, c-span is brought to you by your local cable or satellite provider. c-span, your unfiltered view of governme government. >> yesterday senate majority leader mitch mcconnell spoke about a resolution he plans to introduce that would call on president trump to end the u.s.

drawdown in syria and prevent turkey's incursion into syria. and this is the same way that minority leader charles schumer tried for a second time to bring up a house pass resolution opposing the u.s. withdrawal. >> no another matter, madam president, i oppose president trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria. so i'm encouraged by press reports his administration is considering retaining a military presence in that country to keep the pressure on isis. since september the 11th our nation has learned several key lessons about the fight against radical islamic terrorism. the terrorist threat cannot be wished away. the terrorists mean us harm and we cannot allow them to establish safe havens and solidify their networks. when they do, the bloodshed ends up rig h
