woodall. mr. woodall: i agree with mr. jordan. i was not confused from 1820 to 1950, it appeared from 1970, 1980, the fact he mentioned it there led me believe it was not included. i had to go to the next best thing, long form, 2000. and the next best thing, the american community survey. i understand that the two of you know this issue as well, but i believe i could go back home to georgia and ask every man, woman on the street about what's going on here in congress today and they would say, oh, it's about whether or not we can include a census question and talks about citizenship and that maybe that's just -- maybe that's unheard of and we shouldn't be involved in that and that's what congress is working on. e value i find in the jordan amendments is that it clarifies what is absolutely confusing to so many of my constituents about the process the house is going through. we just don't do contempt resolutions that often. for folks to have thought the court settled this already and for congress to still be working on it, again, it

woodall: parliamentary inquiry. i'm holding the rules of the ouse here that say in rule 15, clause 7, paragraph c, after measure is maintained at least 290 co-sponsors for a period of 25 legislative days after the presentation of a motion under the paragraph, the measure shall be placed on the consensus calendar and such measures shall remain on the consensus calendar until it is either considered in the house or reported by the committee of primary jurisdiction. does tucking a measure into the underlying bill as the self-enacting amendment does today satisfy the c-1 requirement that it can be considered in the house? the speaker pro tempore: the chair will not respond to a hypothetical question or interpret -- mr. mcgovern: if the gentleman would like to yield to me. mr. woodall: the gentleman has only yielded me 30 minutes. i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: i yield myself 20 seconds. i wrote the rule on this, mr. woodal and intentionally left open how

woodall: reclaiming my time. reclaiming my time. if the president believes every word that he said, does that excuse his behavior? mr. mcgovern: the president can say whatever he wants. i think we have a moral obligation to call out racism wherever it exists. mr. woodall: reclaiming my time. it's a perfectly legitimate assertion and attestation my friend from massachusetts makes. of course, we all share that. we all share that belief. mr. speaker, when i was down here for the rule last week with my friend from massachusetts, the other side was admonished not once but twice for violating the house rules for coarsening our debate, for diminishing our civility, for our rules. not a social contract about how we ought to treat each other, but rules where we've committed about how we will treat each other. today during one-minutes, mr. speaker, not once but twice the chair admonished the other side to say, you're breaking our rules of civility. you're violating our standards of decorum. our children are watching, and y

woodall. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i can't help but notice were spent a lot of time talking about recruiting talented staff and retain talented staff. there's no been discussion about talented congressman. i say that partially tongue-in-cheek. my question is, is give me a parallel to what it is we do appear in our 435 jobs. i could be completely without talent and get elected, and i've got caught and 515. i've got to find to keep not that the just knows how to check the four corners of the box. to find a team that believes in me, and that's going to create a whole bunch of bias for who believes in me. then i have to find folks who have a different level of trust and commitment in that. easy to find folks who believe in the book. hard to find someone who believes in the new freshman congressman and that wasn't supposed to when to begin with. six and 45 miles away in washington, d.c. what is the parallel? rather than asking you to commit all the answers, who's got a similar situation to us in congress and they're already

woodall. >> thank you, mr. chairman.'t help but notice we're spending a lot of time talking about recruiting talented staff and retaining talented staff. there has been no discussion about recruiting talented congressmen and retaining talented congressman. i say that only a partially tongue in cheek. my question is give me a parallel to what it is that we do up here in our 435 jobs. i could be completely without talent and get elected and i've got to go out and find a team. i've got to find a team not just that knows how to check the four corners of the box, i have to find a team that believes in me and that's going to create a whole bunch of bias for who believes in me. and then i've got to find folks who have a different level of trust and commitment in that. easy to find folks who believe in deloitte, hard to find somebody who believes in that new freshman congressman that wasn't supposed to win to begin with. 640 miles away in washington, d.c. what's the parallel? rather than asking you all to give me all the answers

the rooftop parks pathway made of decomposed granite woodall was also crumbling under the crowd so it has been replaced with a durable concrete one. 5.4 acre public park also has plenty of seating space for retail shops, art displays, and reading spaces, and for the first time, the gondola at fremont admission is open to the public. >> riding the bus in here for the last few months before the lay close down, and was enjoying walking around the park each morning, >> the paving is all-new, the pathway wasn't working very well, so that all got taken out and replaced. >> the buses are expected to start rolling through the transit center again later this summer. >>> kim kardashian west is changing the name of her new shape wear line. reality tv start faced backlash and social media just hours after announcing her kimono solution warrior read critics say the name is an appropriate take on the traditional japanese kimono. she wrote in a tweet that she will relaunch the brand with a new name. >>> pleasant weather for the july 4 week, not much cloud cover out there tonight, is that a portend f

republican congressman from georgia and member of the house budget rules committee congressman rob woodall. i would like to start by getting your response to some criticism we hear from somebody democrats calling these raids: inhumane. here's a clip from congressmen on fox news sunday. lenny plate get your response on the other side. >> the president should use his time to go after criminals and felons as opposed to children and families and that's what we are talking about. i'm terrified as to the fear the president is instilling in families and the impact it will have on small businesses across america. kristin: how do you respond? >> that is what so unique about what's happening today we are not talking about families that are been here for a decade of refugees across the border yesterday. we are talking about folks who came to the country without permission who were out for handed who had their day in court in who the court has ordered removed. if you want to have a conversation about changing the laws of this land, fair enough but nancy: is he is not having that conversation and neith

connell: joined by republican congressman rob woodall from the state of georgia.house finance committee. a number of republicans came out against this bill. you heard some of the language being used, irresponsible, reckless, if you like, i'm told after the interview you will head into the chamber to vote in favor, is that right and why? >> that is right. the question isn't who is excited about who is excited about this deal. the question is nobody is excited about the deal. the question is the next deal any better? the answer is no. the house has the president over a barrel when debt and budget issues. my freshman class extracted $2 trillion worth of concessions out of president obama. you're seeing nancy pelosi try the very same thing. connell: if this were to drag on, not to pass, the debt ceiling becomes an issue that hurts you politically, hurts the economy and markets? >> yes. i'm not worried about the politics. i'm worried about the policy. you're exactly right. i don't have a consensus in this country on budget cutting. i campaigned on cutting budgets. pres

i spoke to congressman woodall of georgia who said straight up he didn't read it.p here, matthew, however, they're putting the movie on in the middle of july. who is going to be watching this cable made for tv movie in the dead of summer? is that a problem for democrats? >> we will be watching, the press. >> we will. >> so we can talk about it, we can guarantee you that. beyond this audience i'm not sure. i think the problem is when you read the report, i have, you come away, at least i did, somewhat dissatisfied, i was reading volume 2 and i wanted robert mueller to say did trump commit obstruction of justice or did he not? mueller never says either way. he presents the scenarios and he says, well, in these scenarios one might have a legal reading which suggests that, yes, obstruction of justice was committed. if that's all -- if that's all mueller says during the hearing next week, i'm not so sure how successful the democrats are going to be. what they need is mueller to say definitively, yes, my investigation found that the president committed obstruction of jus

congressman rob woodall is with us, republican from georgia.essman, i'm pretty sure it will pass in the house but it dies in the senate. have i got that right? >> that's exactly right, stuart. nancy pelosi has the votes here to push whatever radical agenda she wants to but this is a solution in search of a problem. 30 states have already raised their minimum wage and it's just nonsense to suggest that new york and the great state of georgia have the same cost of living. we should be focused on better skills, on more jobs, but not a higher federal minimum wage. stuart: i've got to say that the house looks a little circus-like at the moment, with all this toxic backwards and forwards here. i don't think anything's going to get done. i don't see how anything can get done. you know, usmca, usmca, i mean, that's a very big deal and it looks to be in jeopardy. what can you do? >> i was with ambassador light hiezer yesterday. i tell you, he is incredibly optimistic and in the serious parts of the democratic party, we have very good partnerships, to mo
