>> this bill is a grab bag, most bipartisan, not all, but most, it addresses leaks security and integrity particularly with identity deof keeping foreign interference out. one of the provisions, for instance, says that if you receive an offer of help as a candidate from a foreign organization entity nation, you have a duty to report that to the f.b.i. of course some of these things are very specifically targeted toward president trump. another major part of the bill is online ad disclosure. right now everybody, as you know who is watching tv and there is a little ad, there will be a blush that says who is behind it. right now there's no requirement that facebook and google do that. they used to oppose the provision that's in this bill that says you must report it and report it in this way. they go ahead -- they are doing it for the most part now but there is no requirement. this is trying to adjust to that

to the things that happened in 2016. so we are ready for 2020 is the big idea of the bill from the democrats. >> the bill acronym is shield, stands for stopping harmful interference in elections for lasting democracy. introduced by the administration committee chair, zoe lofgren of california. she tweeted about how the bill cracks down on info sharing to keep foreign governments out of our democratcy. tell us more about that aspect of the bill. >> there's a number of these that are direct responses to incidents that have happened since 2016. 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. the provision i mentioned about the duty to share comes from an interview where president trump 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 f.b.i. didn't think he should have to. maybe i should listen to it and i would report t this is trying to put in place requirements about very specific incidents that happened during 2016 and since. >> another person on that administration committee, ronnie davis, illinois, he introduced his own security legislation. he tweeted about it recently. he said i'm leading the effort to protect against foreign interference in our elections and preserve the integrity of our election process. what would his bill differently? >> one of the things that's been difficult for the republicans to respond to this bill is a lot of these things come from bills that have sponsors that are republican. what they are doing is they are saying either there is an actively bad versions we don't like or visions we like and we are going to put in our bill. an example they agree on. right now there is no real requirement for foreign nationals to disclose their contributions financially on behalf of ballot referendums.

both bills, the lofgren bill, democrat bill, and davis the republican, have that provision. there are other things in which they are trying to go about it a different way. one of the things that the republicans say about the ad disclosure for online ads is that we worry about some first amendment right issues about what kind of disclosures have to happen. they also say that the way the democrats are trying to apply that idea is bad because television and online shouldn't have the same rules. online is a fast moving technology. you'll note ads online are usually very short. might be just a few seconds. so a thing that says you have to have x number of seconds worth of ad disclosure is potentially bad for republicans. what they have done is said, how about a different way you can get that information a secondary way by mousing over it. >> what's the support looking like for the lofgren bill that's going to be on the floor? >> it's going to have an awful lot, i would anticipate, 100% support from democrats. it is going to have very little support from republicans.

>> any chance in the senate? >> no. probably not. one of the things the democrats are trying to do with this is in addition to trying to put republicans on 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 i.n.s. feerns, they are trying to put pressure on the senate to take action. lots of things the senate has done on election security but they have been smaller. they have rejected bills that have come from the house. they are trying to pressure the house doing something. >> appreciate the nching. we'll follow you on twitter at tim starks. and your reporting in "politico." thanks. >> you can watch the debate on that bill dealing with foreign election interference when the house returns at noon eastern. also today a bill continuing justice department program to help local and state law enforcement process d.n.a. tests. live coverage of the house when they are back at noon here on c-span. the casket of late maryland
