ms. pelosi: i could, i could, i could. the speaker pro tempore: the house will come to order. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady for yielding. and i thank her for her outstanding statement of values and what our country is about. thank you, congresswoman lowey, for your extraordinary leadership. and i thank all of our colleagues for the unity that we had over the months when we were having this debate about what this bill would look like. and i want to again read a letter that mr. hoyer, mr. clyburn and i sent to the speaker last night, or i guess this night. and this is what it said. because i think it's very important for people to understand the simplicity of our request. the fairness of our request. to the speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the entlelady will the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady will suspend. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the request comes from the body. ms. pelosi: i thank the speaker. in the spirit of bipartisan, we write to reiterate our desire to ensure that the government remains open and the priorit

ms. pelosi: and that was recent. what we do have to do is go to this, you have a select committee for almost anything, why not for this really important priority for the american people? we have bipartisan support for legislation that 95% of american people support improving the background check legislation, expanding that, and also what is it that we have this legislation put forth by my former but also deceased colleague mr. dickey of arkansas that put a chilling effect on what the c.d.c. could do in terms of gun violence prevention. you have the letter, we could show you the letter he sent saying that's not what i intended. mr. thompson: i served with jay dickey. when this became an issue, i telephoned him in retirement and he said that's not what i intended. i did not want -- i did not want legislative action to prohibit, or get get in the way of the c.d.c. doing any of this work. it's important work. we should do it. i think the example he used , he said we've studied situations with automobile deaths as well. t

ms. pelosi: the bill is not finished yet. [indiscernible] ms. pelosi: we didn't have texts last night, but unwritten down in the final form that would probably just be now. it depends how long the senate decides to go forward and if they have the votes. reporter: did you hear what you wanted from the speaker? s. pelosi: there is a lot of stuff. very specifically. ease oniest thing that he could do. so easy and we did it a number of times before. bring everything to the floor. you want to bring goodlatte to the floor? bring it to the floor. if you want aguilar bill to the floor, bring it to the floor. anybody else who has something, what they y vote believe. queen of the hill means the bill that gets the most votes is the one that prevails, whether that goes to -- say, for example, the would go directly to the president. if it's her bill, it's more of a conference situation. the hurd bill is bipartisan and recognizes our responsibility to protect our borders, which we all agree that's how we do that and how much money we spend in this. i get back

ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the request comes from the body. ms. pelosi: i thank the speaker. in the spirit of bipartisan, we write to reiterate our desire to ensure that the government remains open and the priorities of the american people are properly addressed. as you know, democrats have been clear that we supported budget agreement that ensures our men and women in uniform have the resources they need to protect and untry and themselves this bill will provide the middle class and working families in our country have the tools they need to succeed. as part of this depreement, we have expected that the house and the senate would address the issue of daca and our dreamers. most of our members believe that the budget agreement is a reasonable compromise to address the military strength and critical domestic priorities like fighting the opioid crisis, boosting n.i.h. and caring for our veterans, making college more affordable and investing for college families. that is what the fight has been all along. fight the resistance on the republican side to

ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i do. and i thank the clerk for her reading. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized on that question of order. on the question of order. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i wish to explain why the house should consider this privileged resolution. mr. speaker, members of congress take an oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states and protect the american people. the house majority and its leadership have abandoned that duty. . it's imperative that the democratic memo be released to set the record straight. it's also important to note they may -- who knows what they have next. the majority's decision to release highly classified and distorted intelligence is profoundly dangerous and gives a bouquet to putin. as the department of justice warned, the public release of the memo is an unprecedented action and extraordinarily reckless. the f.b.i. also expressed grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's acc

ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. ms. pelosi: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i thank him and mr. harper for their leadership in bringing this legislation to the floor. congratulations to the house administration committee. i commend congresswoman brooks and congressman deutsch, their works on the ethics committee in this regard. mr. raskin, thank you as well. i want to thank congresswoman jackie speier of california who has made this part of her life's work in her public service in the california legislature and here. today this -- the fruit of your labor, madam congresswoman, comes to fruition. your strong leadership will ensure no survivor of discrimination or harassment will face the injustice of having his or her voice silenced. the me, too congress act is our promise in a bipartisan way to hold every person accountable to the rule of absolutely zero tolerance. no matter squn's contribution aa -- country, a harassment. we're shining a light on workplace abuse which has been allowed to fefter in the shadows for

ms. pelosi: i didn't see their statement. we have been practically in mourning all morning. if it's anything like the president is say, that's not useful. i don't know the -- i think this is all still in the works. let me comment when i see what the senate puts forth. but i'm glad that mitch mcconnell is at least honoring his statement that he would bring a bill to the floor. i hope that the speaker would respect the dignity of the house of representatives and give us a chance to vote on a bipartisan legislation. to protect the dreamers. they have to be protected. we should just do it in a shorter period of time. >> following up on that, where do you think the deadline is to deal with the daca issue? it sounds like speaker is giving the house really until the end . march to debate immigration ms. pelosi: anyone who says we have until the end of march doesn't understand the gravity of the situation or ignores it. i feel like the music man. do you know the song? the pool table in your community. anyway, trouble in river city. the trouble in river city, you can look that up, yo

ms. pelosi: let me say what we did do. i don't remember people clamoring, i remember addressing she issue. part of the problem, as was the case with the dreamers, if i might add, you need 60 votes in the senate. so members asked how can we get 60 votes in the question, that was more the question, because that was more the hurdle than just the majority in the house. what we did do, which i was proud of, when we had the majority and -- was to pass our mental health parity legislation. much has been said about mental health. and it is a factor. it isn't dispositive of the issue and we have to do more but when we did, the republican members came to me, i won't name the names, they're not in congress now, but they said to me, we could never get a bill on -- a hearing from our own leadership over these past years on mental health parity. we did have a hear, we passed the lew, we did have it be part of the affordable care act which now they are trying to unravel. that was one of the fundamentals of how do we prevent -- how do we

ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the request comes from the body. ms. pelosi: i thank the speaker. in the spirit of bipartisan, we write to reiterate our desire to ensure that the government remains open and the priorities of the american people are properly addressed. as you know, democrats have been clear that we supported budget agreement that ensures our men and women in uniform have the resources they need to protect and untry and themselves this bill will provide the middle class and working families in our country have the tools they need to succeed. as part of this depreement, we have expected that the house and the senate would address the issue of daca and our dreamers. most of our members believe that the budget agreement is a reasonable compromise to address the military strength and critical domestic priorities like fighting the opioid crisis, boosting n.i.h. and caring for our veterans, making college more affordable and investing for college families. that is what the fight has been all along. fight the resistance on the republican side to

ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady for yielding and commend her for her extraordinary leadership on the appropriations committee where important decisions are made about how to allocate the resources of our country to respect the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and to honor the values of our founders for a country that's making the future better for every generation to come. the distinguished chairman of the committee, mr. frelinghuysen, opened his remarks saying he came to the floor to introduce the fifth -- fifth -- continuing resolution. and the gentleman who followed him talk about this being the fifth continuing resolution the more is not the merrier. it's like golf, the lower the score, the better. to have five continuing resolutions is a statement of incompetence and ineptitude. the republicans control the house, the senate, and the white house, yet they are pressing forward on their fifth stopgap short-term spending bill, demonstrating their failur

ms. pelosi: good morning. good morning, everyone. once again, we come together very sadly, our hearts have been broken by the tragedy of gun violence. his time at a high school. marjory stoneman douglas high school in florida. 17 pronounced dead. more wounded. innocent children. sending terrified texts and good-byes to their parents. we thank god for the heroism of the teachers, the school leaders, and our first responders going into harm's way to save lives. once again we see the urgency of congress to take true commonsense action to prevent gun violence. everyone is saying we need more information. and we do. and that's why i'm very pleased to be join here this morning by congressman mike thompson, he's the chair of the gun violence prevention task force. he has served in the military. knows how to use guns. he's a hunter. he's a believer in the second amendment. well, he'll speak to his own credentials. i just want at that to say how proud we are of him for taking the lead on this issue. and he has in recognizing that we have to h

ms. pelosi: thank you for your leadership. we'll be continuing to meet on this subject to try to respond. we shouldn't be responding, we should be preventing. and ould be anticipating have commonsense approaches to revent gun violence. 95%, a poll i saw this morning on tv, you tell me if there's a reliable source, 95% said they support background checks. i happened to be here in the 1990's when we passed the brady bill. 1994, it e bill, in was a fight. it was always a fight. thank god for the bradies. they were such an inspiration. they made it a bipartisan effort. and the background checks, that bill saved lives. now technology has move forward. so we have to make sure that on guns purchased on the internet are subjected to the same scrutiny. those sales are subjected to the same scrutiny, as well as, as you mentiond, congressman hompson, at the gun shows. it's so very, very sad. when we had the sit-in in the capitol, you may recall, a year and a half ago, the action taken by our republican colleagues and leadership was o inv

ms. pelosi: mr. speaker, pursuant to rule 9, i rise to a question of the privilege of the house and i send to the desk a privileged resolution. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: members of congress is to uphold their constitutional duty to -- ms. pelosi: could the clerk please read into the microphone a little closer, please? the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman will suspend. the clerk will suspend. the house will be in order. members, please take your seats. members, please remove your conversations from the house floor. the clerk will proceed. the clerk: whereas the first duty of members of congress is to uphold their constitutional duty to protect and defend the american people. and the house majority and its leadership have abdicated that duty by permitting actions that give russia a clear view of our intelligence capabilities. whereas the integrity of the legislative process of the house has been seriously damaged by the majority's failure to properly

ms. pelosi served as speaker of the house. andujarry reid was the leader -- and harry reid was the leader of a supermajority of democrats in the senate and barack obama was president. and yet she took no action then. they could have passed a law, rather than having president obama sign an illegal executive order, and given the daca kids a pathway to citizenship. but i guess it wasn't a priority then. last month my home county in south carolina settled a claim brought by the united states department of justice. it seems the department determined that our county wasn't doing enough to accommodate students that couldn't speak english. well, you'd think that wouldn't be much of a problem in south carolina. we're a long way from our southern border. but as it turns out, according to the county independent newspaper, 5,511 out of the 44,700 students in the county school system spoke english as a second language only. at's 13% of the student body in that county in south carolina. so the school system agreed to pay a claim by paying $

ms. pelosi: with that, i yield ack.

ms. pelosi: with that, i yield ack. the speaker pro tempore: the house will come to order. >> thank you very much. allow me to just say that we continue on this most important legislation, 1153. ms. waters: and we have had the opportunity to yield time to speaker -- well, leader pelosi. in while she certainly came to oppose this bill, that we have before us having yielded one minute to the leader, is the most profound one minute probably in the history of this institution. that one minute that ended up eight hours where leader pelosi talked about the plight of daca and the dreamers and i'm very proud that in yielding that one minute, we had the opportunity to listen to leader pelosi deal with an issue and demand that we have an opportunity to have a real debate and a real discussion in the people's house. so i'm very pleased we had that opportunity. and now, let meust y, i have no further requests for time and i'm prepared to close. and so with that, i will yield myself the remainder of my time. mr. speaker, american con

ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady for yielding and commend her for her extraordinary leadership on the appropriations committee where important decisions are made about how to allocate the resources of our country to respect the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and to honor the values of our founders for a country that's making the future better for every generation to come. the distinguished chairman of the committee, mr. frelinghuysen, opened his remarks saying he came to the floor to introduce the fifth -- fifth -- continuing resolution. and the gentleman who followed him talk about this being the fifth continuing resolution the more is not the merrier. it's like golf, the lower the score, the better. to have five continuing resolutions is a statement of incompetence and ineptitude. the republicans control the house, the senate, and the white house, yet they are pressing forward on their fifth stopgap short-term spending bill, demonstrating their failur

ms. pelosi is not the only one out of touch but she certainly is one of the most out of touch people. neil: jonas, i was asking before about where the house or democratic leadership wants to go and whether the views representing nancy pelosi is the way to go, go forward to still continue to go against the tax cuts when the poll numbers seem to be improving for it and now that is not new a lot of tax cuts, democratic or republican presidents sort of, you know, grow nicely on people when they see the benefit for themselves if they see it. what do you make of where this is going and how it changes the environment this year? >> i don't think, you can't rail against the short-term benefits of a tax cut even if it is heavily trick en down so to say as a liberal would say. the bottom line is people everyone gets benefits they're seeing benefits and seeing economy pick up and seeing bonus checks but to criticize that is a very trickle down thing i think it's a weak argument and frankly, the average worker under a thousand that john talked to already got tax cuts under george bush that were no

ms. pelosi: i understand but -- ok. solano, he was at the state of the union, a guest of representative blumenauer he grew up in one of the farmworker development corporations in oregon. at 15 he started volunteering at h.d.c.'s after school program nd later volunteered, creating his pathway for social equity he became a daca recipient. his extensive experience with community-based organizer in the farm workers rights, youth employment and education. he certainly calls as -- serves as director for the oregon latino coalition where he's part of the team that helps pass state legislation that extends health coverage to undocumented children. god bless you for that, aldo. we've been joined by congressman eric swalwell of california. we thank him for his leadership on this very important issue. working with the future forum. visiting with dreamers all over the country. the -- then also keith ellison joined us, who has, i referenced earlier, his testimony from his stite from minnesota. as well. hoyer. again from mr. from che

ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady for yielding. congratulate her on her extraordinary leadership as the ranking democrat on the financial services committee. she has been a champion for america's working families. protecting consumers, protecting the taxpayer. doing so in a very balanced way sensitive to the needs of all parties concerned. i'm so proud of her leadership and service, thank you congresswoman waters. i rise in opposition to the bad bill for hardworking americans that's on the floor today. simply named the mortgage choice act provides anything but choice. instead it raises costs on onsumers and a few alternatives. this is yet another attempt to stack the deck further against working families. mr. speaker, this debate is an utter waste of time. every decor rageous patriotic dreamers lose their status. every day the american dream slips further out of reach. as members of congress, we have a moral responsibility to act now to protect dreamers who are the pride of our nation and are american in every day but on paper. i u

ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. ms. pelosi: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i thank him and mr. harper for their leadership in bringing this legislation to the floor. congratulations to the house administration committee. i commend congresswoman brooks and congressman deutsch, their works on the ethics committee in this regard. mr. raskin, thank you as well. i want to thank congresswoman jackie speier of california who has made this part of her life's work in her public service in the california legislature and here. today this -- the fruit of your labor, madam congresswoman, comes to fruition. your strong leadership will ensure no survivor of discrimination or harassment will face the injustice of having his or her voice silenced. the me, too congress act is our promise in a bipartisan way to hold every person accountable to the rule of absolutely zero tolerance. no matter squn's contribution aa -- country, a harassment. we're shining a light on workplace abuse which has been allowed to fefter in the shadows for

ms. pelosi was on the trip. and sat and met different people and what they were going through at that time. it was just -- just sad. heartbreaking. and so me traveling back to newark, new jersey, which is the third oldest city in the united states of america, understanding if they were having those issues in flint, which is nowhere near as old as newark, new jersey, what were the conditions in my community? and lo and behold, i spoke to several mayors in my district and i said you need tostart looking at your waiter system. based on what i saw -- at your wauter system. based on what i saw, i'm concerned. and don't you know, they found lead in 30 schools in newark, new jersey, in the water system. mr. garamendi: mr. payne if you'll yield back, i do need to move on to mr. cicilline, but you were asking about the water systems, just look at real dollars, 2014 dollars, where the federal investment has gone over the last 25 years. almost 30 years. so no wonder that we're not prere-pairing and rebuilding. -- not repai

ms. pelosi. but that's not true. individuals will benefit from lower rates across the board. they'll see an increase in the standard deduction and the child tax credit too. and one overlooked part of law will help bring jobs to distressed communities, creating opportunities zones in every state. that's something our colleague, senator scott, championed and made sure was part of the bill. so, mr. president, amidst our pain and anguish and the horror of terrible incidents like that that occurred in parkland, florida, there is good news to be found. but it's hard to focus on the good news when our constituents are looking at us and asking what we're going to do to make sure that the next potential mass shooting is prevented, that we've done everything in our power to try to stop it. i'm not sure we would be able to stop all of them, but we can stop some of them. and we can make sure that incidents like that that occurred in suggest the -- in sutherland springs that somebody who is already legally disqualified from purchasing a firearm doesn't get their hands on one. well, we kno

ms. pelosi: you don't know? i'll continue to read. amy, this is from representative jayapal, leader on immigration issues. immigrant herself to our country and now a member of congress. amy and her family moved from fiji to settle in washington, staying on their father's student visa. things changed when they left the u.s. to attend a wedding. they were only staying for two weeks and my mom's visa got denied. amy is now 19, but the last time she saw her parents is when she was just 11 years old. how sad. when amy's parents left, her grandmother came from california to baby sit. when they weren't able to re-enter the country, she picked up her life to move to washington. she is the heart of this whole family and kept us together. i don't know where we would be right now. maybe in fiji or a foster home. we are thankful to her. though aim's grandmother has been lick in the u.s. for 20 years, she is also undocumented. because she is undocumented and can't get social security. it breaks my heart whenever i think about it, amy said. with th

ms. pelosi with the name of the bill, it's the crumbs act.what does crumbs stand for? >> well, i'd have to go back and actually look. [laughter] it's a real bill, and we need to get it past the house of representatives and into the senate. what it does, i mean, it takes the bonuses you get in 2018 and makes them tax-free. it really is a swipe at the washington liberal political elite who thinks they know better what to do with your money than you do, and we saw that with nancy pelosi. ashley: it's amazing, isn't it, the democrats have really in their campaign of resistance have put all of their eggs in this basket of saying this is a terrible thing. there's a dark cloud hanging over the white house, and yet consumer optimism is up, small business optimism at record levels, and the economy's starting to rev. that's a dangerous strategy, is it not, for the democrat party? >> i think it is. and, again, it's just this liberal elite mentality that they know how to run our lives better than we do. you know, the fact of the matter is they need -- th

ms. pelosi is losing her grip? [laughter] >> i doubt it very much.he democratic party by far and especially in a midterm election year, that really counts a lot. there's no question about the fact that she is in the middle of a caucus, a piece of which is to her left and another piece of which is to her right. and she has the difficult task of holding it together, but she's hardly the only political leader to be faced with that kind of balancing act. stuart: i don't think she should have labeled $1,000 bonuses as crumbs, and i don't think she should have said the tax deal was armageddon. how about you? >> i agree with you, and i suspect if you put those questions to her privately, she might well agree that those were not her finest -- did not represent her finest hour. stuart: sir, i think this marks a landmark for the program. i am in a good deal of agreement with someone from the brookings institute, and i think that's absolutely incredible. [laughter] thanks very much for joining us, sir. >> you should talk to us more frequently. [laughter] stuart

ms. pelosi sun popular with the base, conservative republican base, then focus on her and focus on what shet's a pretty strong tactic. i suspect the president will do that today? >> i think, i think you will hear a drumbeat time and time again. the first newly elected member congress and who will you vote for speaker? the democrats will vote for nancy pelosi. and in the senate it is chuck schumer. the democrats are void of a message. they don't have any national leadership. there is no vision. if you ask yourself, what is their agenda, proactive way to grow the economy, make america great again, they don't have one. donald trump answers that question. but nancy pelosi and chuck schumer don't. stuart: get more on taxes. jason, listen to what national economic counsel director gary cohn said on this show. roll tape. >> the president is rawls trying to deliver for the american workers, the american public. we would really like to make the individual side of tax reform permanent. that is one thing that we didn't get done. we would love to go back and make it permanent as soon as possible. the p

ms. pelosi losing her grip on the democrat party.hoping that she's not losing the grip on the democratic party because i want somebody who thinks daca is more important than growing the government. i want somebody who thinks that fighting climate change is more important than the growing class. the democratic party is at a cross roads, stuart, they lost an election to a guy whose agenda test quite well even if he's disliked by a lot of people. the agenda test well. people want the border secured. they want the middle class to grow, they are concerned about immigrants taking jobs from americans, the issues that donald trump ran on test well. that's why the democratic party has a huge problem. what are they going to do? are they going to drop daca and start talking about cutting taxes on rich people? are they going to become more republican-like in the problem is they haven't won the white vote since 1964, they decided to win the left vote through immigration. and something that the american people are now having reaction to. the ameri

ms. pelosi was getting at the idea of you build a road with a public/private project, and you toll road it? i think if they were to privatize infrastructure -- which they don't -- i think you'd see a lot of changes,, and i think you'd see a lot of projects come in under budget and on time which doesn't happen at least in our metropolitan area. stuart: that's for sure. anthony, thanks for joining us. can i be a crane operator? [laughter] anthony, thank you so much. we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: all right. now, we've got a dow that's down 348 points, that is a problem for interest rates. that's the problem there. we're going down, down 350 now. >> yeah. stuart: kellogg on your screen right now, better sales at the cereal company, that stock is up nearly 3%. tyson foods, their profit nearly tripled because of an infusion of extra money from the tax deal, but they're only up 80 cents at $74 per share. >>> how about this, "sports illustrated" honoring the #metoo movement in its annual swim suit issue. the photo series called "in her own words" features models with v

ms. pelosi. >> isn't that just so farfetched, though, when you hear that and you -- and the people in thenization put your lives on the line, to keep us safe to protect our perimeter. how does it make you foal the idea that somehow cutting grass is going to make your job so much easier? >> it's, it's ridiculous. i think there's areas that the wall is needed. there's areas where -- other things are needed. the ultimate thing what we immediate to focus on is agents that are here. one of the big things that has not been talked about roongtly is what we have and way we retrain agents is by taking care of the agents that are there working. >> art thank you for your service thank you for coming on this show this morning we always appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. get a check of the big board dow 30 stocks, all for or high verizon change led by ibm microsoft, and mcdonald's so usual names. pretty nice session we're up 130 as much as 200 points right out of the gate. so volatility but the bias shifting to upside and into a weekend that's impressive so far. and president trump making his

ms. haley: now to the senate. on the senate side today, also notable that about three hours into nancy pelosi's speech, mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, and senator chuck schumer came to the senate floor to announce the end of negotiations and agreement on a deal, a two-year deal raising budget caps under the budget control act of 2011. and expanding the budget through 2019. so the house yesterday passed the continuing resolution, that short-term measure through march 23. it's the senate's turn now and now they will further consider the budget resolution, expanding, as we said, spending for some $300 billion through fiscal year 2019. we just have 15 minutes or so here. but we did want to show you the comments of the majority leader, chuck schumer, of the majority leader mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer, one quick tweet before. that the president has weighed in at the very end of nancy pelosi's speech this afternoon. about the budget agreement. saying the agreement today is so important for our great military. tends the dangerous sequester and gives secretary mattis what he needs to keep america great. republic

the republican chairman of the intelligence committee they have a new ms to be removed in a letter to speaker paul ryan nancy pelosi says congressman is has abused his position to launch a highly unethical and dangerous cover up campaign for the white house congressman nunez deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman and he must be removed immediately from this position the leading democrat on the committee says the row doesn't serve the american people the memo is. seriously misleading because it omits very material information and has deep factual inaccuracy. knew this was part of the trump transition team and last year recused himself from leading the russian investigators now he will decide if he will release the memo that he wrote on an inquiry which continues to divide washington and the country alan fischer al-jazeera washington of course in the old days has ordered the release of former president mohamed nasheed the order comes as the supreme court dismissed a terrorism conviction against him saying he was jailed following what it called flawed trials the courts also called for the r

. >> laura: the nancy pelosi used it as an excuse for an eight-hour filibuster. some things we didn't hear her address, ms3, robert reese rt she did find time to preach. >> the minister for all god's creation, an act of worship. it's to dishonor the god who made us. >> laura: thank you pastor nancy, senior fellow for london policy research in here in washington is probably no ronnie executive director of the national immigration forum. i have to give nancy pelosi credit, she's up there for eight hours. she's not 40. she's up there for eight hours and she's going for it. no one nodded off which was amazing. she is up there doing her thing. my question is has she ever done something remotely like this for any victim of illegal immigrant crime? i don't think she has ever mentioned kate steinle's name in her district who was murdered by an illegal immigrant. i don't think she has ever addressed the issue of gangs in oakland or any part of california, los angeles, her state. eight hours for the so-called dreamers. >> the amazing part of today was not only nancy pelosi standing up for seven hours making the cas

he came close to a deal with pelosi, schumer, durbin and graham and then he backed away. there is a nativeist side to them. he talked about ms3 at the state of the union and half a sentence talking about russia. and this nativeist trump has taken over. he doesn't really want a deal. i think these are false steps he is putting forward right now just to make it seem like he wants a deal. but there is no deal forthcoming. he doesn't want it to happen. >> jon: i'm not sure, josh, if anybody wants it to happen. the president has given them seven months to come up with some kind of language. congress is supposed to write the laws after all. and here we are coming up on the deadline and nothing has happened. >> what my good friend jim is ignoring here is we're not even two weeks removed from the white house, president trump releasing a pretty critical step in bringing together two sides here with a proposal that not only provides protections for daca recipients and their immediate family but also provides border security funding and much-needed reforms to the chain migration system. this is not only a reasonable deal but one anybod

first year but the continued problems we have, ms-13, illegal immigration, those people in the audience that he brought there and told their story. if nancy pelosi has tears in her eyes because a 12-year-old boy is taking the american flag and putting it on the flags of american soldiers that don't have them shame on her. >> sandra: charl rove called it a good speech but said it is only a start. he wrote this in the "wall street journal" this morning. to avoid appearing stale the white house should put out new actions that compliment the state of the union and keep with its spirit. free advice. stop blind-siding natural allies as the president did in september when he cut a budget deal with democrats without informing gob leaders beforehand. can his message from the other evening, which you sound like you are very complimentary of, can he translate that going forward? >> he can translate it going forward because it is a vision for america that he outlined on the campaign. what that means is we need to have some bipartisan support. what in the proposed on the immigration reform side is exactly what the democrats have asked for, for a long time. i

party, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, telling democrats to sit down, the fact that they sat down when the president introduced a few couples where their children were killed by ms-13, a scourge hurting not only other parts of the country, but in new york state, the place where i call home, so, yeah, i thought it was terrible that they didn't -- for very american ideas and why not? they're just about resist? what does resist mean? obstruct. they're not interested in dialogue. not interested in working with us and trying to come up with solutions. >> let me just ask you, on the other side, in years past, there are always going to be times when the -- whoever the president is in power, the opposing party is not going to applaud everything that the commander in chief says in that state of the union address for obvious reasons. we heard joe wilson yell out you lie and those moments were not called un-american and saying people don't love their country. is that dangerous rhetoric? >> i think you're mischaracterizing that. i went back and looked at some of the state of the union addresses with president obama, which, by the way, as a republican, i was upset about many

ms-13 in the same sentence, that is dog whistle politics at its worst. and i'm proud to be a democrat. and i'm proud to be fighting for dreamers. and i'm proud of what nancy pelosi >> let me ask you about nancy pelosi and earlier this week. did you know she was going to do that? >> i didn't know she was going to be there for eight hours. and as a 50 something male i'm impressed she was able to do that. >> where was the messaging supporting that? she was sort of just out there doing it alone. >> well, i don't think she was alone. i mean, i think democrats have been fighting for the dream act and for a clean dream act for some time. the challenge that we face in this, hallie, is arithmetic. we don't have enough democrats. and that's the fundamental reason why we don't have comprehensive immigration. >> but is nancy pelosi, there's been talk of her the last year, is she the right person to be leading the democratic party in the house heading into the midterms? are you confident that she is going to be the right person to be in that role? >> yes. and, you know what, nancy pelosi has been a fighter. we have the affordable care act because of nancy pelosi. when i was

ms-13 and say it has got to stop. ed: if there is good news nancy pelosi has a solution. she says don't worry about all of this. sense not some commitment to a promise we are going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it that's never going to happen. but let's talk about where a more serious structure might be necessary. where fencing might do. where mowing the grass so people can't be smuggled through the grass. and that's -- rachel: mowing the lawn. that will help. griff: going to get carl from caddie shack and fix the immigration. rachel: this is why the american people do not trust the democrats when it comes to securing the border. i mean, this is ridiculous. people actually really do trust that donald trump is going to secure the border. and this week he actually said that daca, which is part of his plan, you know, secure the border and get daca, he said daca is a republican plan. that the democrats have stopped calling him about it. and so we will see what happens. ed: come up with compassion and tightening the border he might have a winning forum in the midterm. rachel: coming up, how do paren
