what i'm focused on doing is what we told the people we're going to do, what they elected us to do. the discharge petition outcome will likely be something of they to the mandate election. that is what i'm concerned about. that is why we are trying to stop it and get a good bill that we can get 218 republicans to support, that the president is supportive of, and consistent with what the people sent us here to do. >> "washington journal" continues. host: the full interview on newsmakers tomorrow with jim jordan at 10:00 a.m. eastern time and then again at 6:00 p.m. eastern time, newsmakers. for this half hour, 25 minutes before we and they show, we will take her calls. you can talk about anything you have heard this morning or anything on your mind. and while the folks need for day two of the g7 summit, there is this headline in "the wall street journal" --

in a memorial day speech when donald trump was giving his speech to the country. they should have taken that microphone out of his hand. that was the perfect opportunity flag up there and -- the was right there. everything was there. they could have made her point well. but they did not do it then. they want to do it at a ballgame. the movement has lost its moral authority on all of its arguments there. those of the points i wanted to make. host: nick is in new mexico. your showsnjoyed this morning. i said you're wondering whether or not there is a correlation between the number of suicides in the amount of communication we depend on today. if you go to a restaurant and you sit and watch families, five or six people, they're all on their cell phone and not talking to each other.

furthermore, most of what is on television, particularly these cable news programs, are filled and idiotic commentators whether that and the fact that people spend hours and hours watching television, looking at their cell phones, whether that has any effect on their mental health. that is my comment. host: caller referring to a cdc report that came out this week that said in 2016, nearly 45,000 older diedged 10 or by suicide. suicide is the 10th leading cause of death and is one of just three leading causes that are on the rise. that has been reported a lot in the last couple of days. the cdc puts out a vital signs report, and that is where he came from, from the website. they posted this one minute video on the issue. [video clip]

host: cdc.gov is a place to go for more on that report that they put up. we are taking open phones for

the next 15 minutes. you can talk about any topic you would like until we get to the top of the hour. melinda has been hanging on from tucson, good morning. caller: this is regarding the suicide rates in this country. i just posted on your twitter school, atograph of a little school that says "school: drug free zone." in the back of the school is a dump truck pouring ritalin into the back of the school. of ourrma and many politicians say that marijuana is a gateway drug. no, it isn't. childrenry is drugging from the age of 3, 4, 5 on ritalin. psychotropic

medications. in foster care, children are given like four or five times the national rate of drugs actually, here in arizona, in maricopa county, alone, there is just forlion drug find adultadult sexual bits -- psychotropics in foster care. we're turning out drug addicts onto the streets who are suicidal. have you ever seen a kid twisting from brooklyn? ritalin is like cocaine, twisting with anxiety. they are thin. they are gaunt. they self medicate with other medications to calm themselves down. own this country.

every single news broadcast has five or six of these commercials on regarding pushing drugs down the throats of americans. we are dying as a result. host: linda, thank you. kathleen from mississippi. you are on the air. caller: good morning. host: good morning. what would you like to say? people committing suicide, like the other person said, they see no way out. we had ice storms in january and february.

i'm sure they're working themselves to death. my granddaughter went to work one month after she had a baby. it is no money. everything is leaving. at most it is fast food restaurants. we have to keep up with everything. this hasn't been like this before. this is not normal. we shouldn't -- i mean, so many shootings? the fire, the earthquakes? it is not normal. it is too much going on that we can't keep up daily. and then the last part i want to make, the doj, i think comedic in fact check me if i'm wrong, they are saying that they won't

support the affordable care act. 22 million people will lose their lives without insurance. we don't have nothing else. i wish everybody could go and , get medicaidor expansion. children could stay on until they are 26. this is not only my life. my mother is 83. she has a stent on one side and open heart on the other side. on thatst so much going it is just hard to keep up with it daily. host: kathleen, thank you for calling. the norwich bulletin has this front page story, of picture of

"wall street journal" review section this weekend, trump's .ran gambit the president is not determined to topple the atomic regime assumpsit -- as some critics fear.

on the news pages, following up on jim jordan's comments earlier -- the more popular option would create a new visa program that would reward immigrants for meeting certain benchmarks to allow them to become citizens. lawmakers were vague about what this would be. a key part of this proposal would be that it would be available to other immigrants the on the dreamers and effort to make it more palatable to conservatives opposed to a special path for the young immigrants to become citizens. goeswall street journal" on to talk about some of the other points including the second option. we mention there were two. closely to what democrats have often proposed, typically attend a 12 year pathway to citizenship. part of the writing in "the wall

street journal." alice is going from virginia. go ahead, alice. caller: yes, when people get arrested in america, their children go into protective custody. all of these dreamers would not have had the idea except when arnold's shorts leg or -- arnold schwarzenegger was then a, he opened the gate and offer them welfare and health care. think when he found out he could not become president because he wasn't of american birth, he decided he would run the country one way or another. and he should be personally responsible for the children's education and helping them find a home. thanks. host: thank you for calling. eventually go group ahead of -- evangelical group ahead of midterms. ramping up spending on efforts to defend rep. grayson:

i am a god-fearing human christian who sits and listens to the spirit. the year and half before the election, my spirit told me about hillary and donald trump and donald trump is the only one that could be hillary and such. -- beat hillary and such. that is my spirit telling me. mice there did not tell me that trump is going to be our savior and such. stan put itput -- and got allowed it. there is the real world and trump world. if you listen to what mr. president trump said, anything he says, whether it is because of his ignorance or intention, is a lie. --says how he talked about talking about how germany and america was friends during world war ii. just look at everything donald trump said. it you have the religious right,

backing it gentlemen never -- aout and apologized gentleman who thinks is supposed becausea woman's crotch that is what women want. .e goes on this is a moral human being. you wonder where the religious right one is for our morals are in our country is going to h-e-l-l and trump is leading us. america, not united states, but god bless america and talk to in a month or two or three. everybody have a wonderful summer. host: louise is on the line in san antonio. democratic caller. well, i've semi-things i

want to talk about but i'm going to keep it short and sweet. for all of you that don't believe there was any kind of russian collusion between the president and russia, you need to ask yourself why is he so upset with jeff sessions? all he does is rant and rave about how he would have picked somebody else if he had known cuseions was going to re himself because he needs summit in there to protect him. he wants somebody that is loyal to him. anything wronge than he does need to worry about having an attorney general in their that will protect him. host: thank you for calling. ken is on the line from indiana. caller: hello.

i have a question about all of the stuff i hear from giuliani about disrespecting stormy daniels and other supporters. i don't understand why they don't say anything about the herle like mr. trump paid to do what he did. why is he any better than that? i think the john's, which he is, is worse. host: all right. "new york times" seizing reporters records is fundamental threat, this from a press group that federal prosecutors seized years worth of emails and phone records from a "new york times" reporter drew criticism from groups which expressed outrage at the first instance of the trump administration's pursuing the private communications of a journalist. the committee to protect journalists called the move a fundamental threat to press freedom. "the times" halted an outrageous overreach just called it an

outrageous overreach. the records were seized from a .eporter in washington suspected of leaking classified information to reporters. they say james wolfe, 57, who retired last are, was arraigned in federal court on friday on charges of lying to investigators about his contacts with several journalists. he has been denied he gave classified information to journalists and prosecutors for now have charged similar with making false statements to the fbi. that is in "the new york times" this morning. ruth is on the line from connecticut. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have not listened to her program in a while and it was really excellent this morning. my thoughts this morning i think probably are with me every

single day is the ignorance of our president, how he has no interest in american history, the constitution, who our friends really are, or any of these things. so it is frightening as we have, in the last 20 or 30 years, divided the country in terms of the kind of news they get or misinformation that so many people don't realize that he has no knowledge of what he is saying or what he is doing, and that he is leading us into the sea. that just so extraordinary we are against canada and great britain and france and all of our friends, and we are pro-russia and for dictators. -- pro dictators. i do believe, if he does get elected in 2020, which is a frightening., because my depression at this 500 a stage

is so overwhelming i can't even imagine, but it is possible, that then he will never give it up and you will change laws because he thinks he can. he is not going to be impeached. he doesn'toing -- have to follow the law, mainly. ps talked about walking down fifth avenue and being able to peopleomeone and his will still stay with them. it is because i believe they really don't know what is happening as their listing to outlets that are so totally supporting him. for years, you would never have had the population of the united states behind russia and not canada. that is my comment. thank you for listening. have a great day. host: you, too. let's take one more call. virginia from tennessee. caller: i want to say i wish the

ngvernment would quit downi trump and give him a chance. he has not even gotten started yet. and the rest of them will not let anybody try to do anything good. host: that was virginia. and that was our last call. tomorrow, "washington journal" starts at 7:00 eastern. ,uests include james clapper and ken starr will join us to talk about the mueller investigation, and the former basketball player will join us. three guests for three hours. lots more of your calls tomorrow on "washington journal." what we plan to do at this point on c-span is wait for president trump. we have heard he will make remarks during this 10:00 hour at the g7 summit in québec. we are not
