mcgovern: i yield 30 seconds. mr. cardenas: the united states of america has always been the gold standard and that's the argument we're making here today. his is not a game. we are fighting to be allowed the freedom to be who they choose to be, who god made them to be by being in the greatest place on the planet. and that's why we're fighting today. yield back. mr. cole: thank you. i yield to my good friend from ohio, mr. stivers. the speaker pro tempore: how much time? mr. cole: two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. stivers: thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to thank the gentleman for yielding. we have a crisis on our southern border and h.r. 3401 with the senate amendments gets resources to give the humanitarian assistance to those seeking asylum. mr. stivers: i would like to thank the gentleman for yielding. we have a crisis in our southern border and h.r. 3 01 gets resources to give humanitarian assistance to those seeking asylum but adds judges and judge teams to

mcgovern: thank you, madam speaker. i want to thank the gentleman from ohio for the constructive way that he has brought his concerns to the floor. i'm very sympathetic with what he's trying to do. while the appropriations committee believes that the funding level in the bill will support hiring the maximum number of immigration judges that can be brought onboard in a single year, nonetheless we're going to have to invest significantly more. because there is a backlog. i think the problem with his amendment and we talked about this last night was the offset. he wanted to basically take $71 million from the general legal activities, which funds justice department divisions such as the civil rights division, the civil division under which funding is included for cases involving consumer and elder fraud. and the criminal division which includes mutual legal assistance reform. and the environment and natural resources division. you know, these litigation components do a great deal of important work and so i think the conver

mcgovern: mr. speaker, i'm happy to yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from california, the distinguished chairwoman of the financial services committee, ms. waters. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. waters: thank you, chairman mcgovern. i strongly support h.res. 430, which authorizes litigation to compel attorney general barr to provide key evidence underlying the mueller report and the unredacted report itself, authorizes a civil suit to compel don mcgahn to provide the judiciary committee with documents and testimony and perspectively allows committee chairs to bring civil actions on behalf of their committees to enforce their subpoenas without a subsequent full house vote when authorized by the bipartisan legal advisory group. h.res. 430 is key to ensuring that congress is able to efficiently exercise its constitutional responsibilities in light of the unprecedented stonewalling by the trump administration and a president who has openly said such things as, as i quote

mcgovern, mr. smith for giving this house a renewed opportunity to testify to the true events of june, 1989, to tell and call for a just and open accounting for the tiananmen massacre and to condemn serious ongoing human rights violations by the government of china. dictators need to understand that freedom can only be held back for a finite period of time. they may succeed in crushing a democratic protest, but they will always fail to crush the democratic spirit. so i'm proud to stand with the people of china who want to break the chains of communist oppression, and i urge support for this resolution and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. malinowski: madam speaker, i thank chairman mccaul for his eloquent statement and his leadership on this issue and i rise in very strong support of this measure. 30 years ago, i was here on capitol hill, my first job out of college. i was working on the senate side for

mcgovern: mr. speaker, this is a dark time. this congress is being tested, in this case, not by a foreign adversary, but by our own president, a president who is undertaking a relentless campaign to obstruction and stonewalling. we have never seen anything like this, never before, mr. speaker, has a president of either party so flagrantly ignored congress' constitutional oversight authority and our nation's separation of powers. you don't have to take my own word for it. donald trump has declared, quote, we are fighting all subpoenas, and i don't want people testifying, end quote. these words make richard nixon look like an eagle scout. his attorney general, william barr, is apparently more than willing to follow the president's command. he's refused to release the full unredacted mueller report and the underlying evidence until a compromise was finally reached yesterday. that's after the judiciary committee had already voted to hold him in contempt of congress. apparently, the attorney general wen

mcgovern: mr. speaker, for the purpose debate only i yield the customary 0 minutes to the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. cole, pending which i yield myself such time as i may consume. during consideration of this resolution all time yielded is for the purposes of debate only. i ask unanimous consent that all members be given five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, we had a robust debate here today surrounding the tragedy that is unfolding on our southern border where children are being ripped from their families, forced to sleep on cold concrete floors, denied soap, medicine, diapers, i could go on and on and on, all because of the president's failed policies. that's what we believe and what national and international organizations believe. quite frankly, this should shake all of us to our core. i, for one, am disappointed and i cannot forget the images and stories and will continue t

mcgovern: mr. speaker, i'm delighted to yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee, is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentleman. i think it is appropriate to correct a number of statements that have been made on the floor. first of all, this is not the end. director mueller made in the beginning. when he concluded the report, he left a very large direction to the united states congress. he recognized that he could not follow up because of policies at the d.o.j. regarding indictment in the process of the administration. and so the congress, in its due diligence, took the responsibility. not to target anyone, but to simply uphold the rule of law. in upholding the rule of law, we had an empty seat by attorney general barr, an empty seat by mr. mcgahn, an empty seat by ms. hicks, ms. donaldson, and we hope not an empty seat of the author of the report. so all this resolution does is authorizes the commi

mcgovern: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i always enjoy listening to my republican colleagues' debate on the floor. i always love listening to the gentleman from illinois when he's on the house floor. ut i can't help but think of the fact that the russians attacked our elections in 2016. the two years after that, the house was controlled by republicans. the senate was controlled by republicans. donald trump, a republican, was in the white house. they had unified government. the house, the senate and the presidency. and all of our intelligence agencies said that russia interfered in our elections. they atacked our democracy. not only the obama administration's intelligence officials, but the trump administration's intelligence officials. and what did my republican friends do? in the aftermath of this attack on our democracy by a foreign adversary? nothing. nothing. you hear all these great ideas but while they had unified government, they were in control of everything, they did nothing. i recall sitting here on the house floo

mcgovern: mr. speaker, for the purposes of debate only, i yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from oklahoma, the ranking minority member of the rules committee, mr. cole, pending which i yield myself uch time as i may consume. during consideration of this resolution all time is yielded for purposes of debate only. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. , mcgovern: mr. speaker today the rules committee met and reported a rule, house resolution 466, providing for consideration of the senate amendment to h.r. 3401. one hour of general debate has been provided, controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on appropriations. mr. speaker, i think by now we all have seen the horrific images showing the bodies of martinez ramirez -- the speaker pro tempore: members, members, please carry your conversations off the floor. members. the gentleman is recognized. m

mcgovern: mr. speaker, today, the rules committee met and reported a rule, house resolution 462 providing for consideration h.r. 431. one hour of general debate controlled by the chair and ranking minority member on the committee of appropriations. i have fought for human rights my entire career. as co-chair of the tom lantos human rights commission, i never thought i would see such inhumane conditions, all because of the president's cruel and failed immigration policies. we have children today at border facilities forced to sleep on concrete floors. with the lights kept on 24 hours a day. they are not being given soap, diapers or a tooth brush. combs are being shared and kids are being supervised by other kids. this is happening in america today because of the choices made by president trump. it is horrific. this is child abuse, plain and simple. in a document obtained by abc news, one physician described the conditions there by saying, and i quote, the conditions within which they are held could

mcgovern. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and xtend their remarks and insert extraneous material on h.res. 430. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. mcgovern: and mr. speaker -- the speaker pro tempore: the house shall come to order. the gentleman may proceed. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, this is a dark time. this congress is being tested, in this case, not by a foreign adversary, but by our own president, a president who is undertaking a relentless campaign to obstruction and stonewalling. we have never seen anything like this, never before, mr. speaker, has a president of either party so flagrantly ignored congress' constitutional oversight authority and our nation's separation of powers. you don't have to take my own word for it. donald trump has declared, quote, we are fighting all subpoenas, and i don

mcgovern. mr. mcgovern: the resolution we passed today should be a sign to the administration that congress is a co-equal branchened we intend to act like it. you can either work with us and comply with the subpoenas, or we'll see you in court. the way this administration is behaving and not turning over ocument, ignoring subpoenas, covering up is not normal. we can't dismiss it as another temper tantrum from donald trump. we have to confront it for what it is, the president of the united states ignoring the rule of law, behaving more like a king than a president. this resolution that we passed today gives the judiciary the authority to go to court to enforce the subpoenas against the attorney general and don mcgahn. but there's another part of this resolution that empowers the other committee chairs, some who are not overseeing the mueller investigation, but nonetheless are being stonewalled by the administration to be able to go to court as well. to be able to get the documents that they need to

mcgovern: mr. speaker, this is a dark time. this congress is being tested, in this case, not by a foreign adversary, but by our own president, a president who is undertaking a relentless campaign to obstruction and stonewalling. we have never seen anything like this, never before, mr. speaker, has a president of either party so flagrantly ignored congre

i mean george mcgovern wasn't this bad. liz: i don't know if age is an issue but here is the thing let me back up. >> age is an issue here. when you haven't lived through experiences like some of these people have in venezuela and east germany and east europe, when you haven't lived through that and haven't seen it, you know, you tend to idealize all of us living together in a moment, but that's not the way the world really is. the world is really run by incentives. and if you takeaway all of the disincentives of going to college, having to pay for it, you're going to get way too many people going and they aren't productive in the labor force. liz: to your point, his plan does not address the reason. >> it's all incentive. liz: it doesn't address the reason out of control debt it's college tuition gouging. colleges are tax exempt, student debt ballooned from 90 billion to 1.6 trillion in two deck decades. i want to get to this clinton's form press secretary is saying americans are going to see their taxes increase as their

mcgovern got slaughtered by nixon in a landslide. if you're donald trump you want to run against someone like elizabeth warren and joe biden poses a bit of a problem for you because biden is able to position himself a little bit more to the center. and me he's a household name. and obama's donor list is like the golden standard in the democratic party. whoever the obamas eventually rally behind which is who the nominee is, the obamas will be super surrogates in states like pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. so i think the whole story in the democratic party now is who it's going to be biden versus who? bernie sanders or elizabeth warren or one of the other up and comers. they're -- yeah. >> okay. and no confusion between brinkley the historian, douglas brinkley, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >>> you can see that entire interview with pete buttigieg tomorrow on "state of the union" and jake tapper speaks with beto o'rourke. >>> still ahead, the white house is trying to stop congress from seeing president trump's tax returns and

the democrats, dilemma well summarized by congressman jim mcgovern.en to this. >> quite frankly, we're beyond talking about this in terms of political implications. we have to do what's right, and people will look back on this years from now and decide whether we behaved honorably in the way we should, living up to our constitutional responsibilities, or did we play this just solely, you know, in a very political way? >> allan, to be clear, mcgovern is only advocating for the judiciary committee starting an inquiry to formally look into whether or not impeachment is warranted, not to begin proceedings. in your opinion, is this the right first step? >> absolutely. look, democrats should not be consulting a political crystal ball to make a decision about whether to investigate a rogue president. impeachment is the proper moral and constitutional means for checking a dangerous president and constraining future presidents for misdeeds. it begins with an impeachment investigation, and it strikes at a president's power and his legacy. and besides, the democ

the resolution you're talking about is formerly sponsored by the rules committee chairman, just mcgovern. he will hold a hearing and meeting in which he will set the rules for the floor debate the next day, on tuesday, for this resolution. i am told he will give one hour of debate, three minutes -- 30 minutes to republicans, 30 minister democrats. it will likely just be limited to c-span. mainly asking those who favor impeachment now, what are we doing? why are we going through all this? why don't we launch impeachment ?roceedings now host: in one of your headlines, it says a top democrat will be held in contempt. talking about wilbur ross, the commerce secretary, oversight committee chair elijah cummings is considering that. what is the issue there? the efforts but a trump administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, which democrats and other critics say would prompt some to not respond to the census, and therefore, skew and perhaps undercount populations but could have impacts on electoral divisions, representation in congress, and even federal funding. the argument

to be supporting legislation that senator marco rubio and chris smith on the republican side, jim mcgovern and i on our side and others are putting forth to improve and modernize the hong kong-u.s. -- u.s.-hong kong relations act and that is going to be submitted today. they're just finalizing it, perhaps being submitted today. but this is so wrong and i do hope that the president will speak about human rights in china and freedoms in china when he talks about trade with the chinese. i am pleased with secretary pompeo's statement on what's happening in china now in this regard. with that, i'll take any questions.
