andy biggs, what's going on?i think she is trying to elevate the discourse away from civil discourse into potential violent discourse. in the tinder box that is our political environment, i think it's extremely dangerous and reckless and doesn't do credit to congress and her. i filed a motion to censure representative waters. charles: what does it mean? what are you trying to express here? what would it mean for her? would she have to be accountable for something? would they be punished? or is this a congressional acknowledgment to point out the harm? >> it's an official reprimand and it's the sense of congress that you acted outside the what is appropriate for a representative, u.s. representative to act. it's an official reprimand. it doesn't remove her from committees. but it whrets her know that you crossed the line. and there are some democrats who agree with us that she crossed the line, and some are standing by her. this is the outrageousness of the milieu that we are in that somehow this is okay. charles:

joining us tonight is republican congressman andy biggs of arizon the president with a great showing again in the primaries. it should be clear tory except for your leadership here in the house and the senate than if they do not support this president and his agenda, electoral disaster awaits the entire republican conference. what do you think? >> i thinkhis is trump's time. dnk it's easy for people like me to say i got elected on the trump agenda, president trump got elected on that agenda. if youre not going to follow and keep the promises you made, you are probably not going to be around. he made promises to the american people. he's doing everything he can to keep the promises. there are those not jus in congress, but elsewhere in the political system that don't like donald trump, they don't like his agenda. i am not even sure it's his agenda. i think it's a personal attack on the president. i say let's get it done. if we don't, it will be a disaster for republicans in the mid-terms. lou: i don't think you can separate this president from this agenda. this is a man who is recogni

joining me now house judiciary committee member he is arizona congressman andy biggs. good to see you, sir. >> good to be with you thanks. liz: what's your take of what's going on with strzok? i guess he keeping his job for now. what's going on here? >> well i think they're trying to run through a normal process a little late but they are trying to go through the administrative process within the bureau, but it gets to the point why was he there so long when certainly the ig released this information a year ago and that's why he was removed from the mueller investigation team, so ones left wondering why did somebody whose bias and abusing the fbi's rules, why did he end up in the human relations department. liz: to your point, congressman, one of peter strzok's texts says he "has a sense of unfinished business that was unleashed by the clinton e-mail case" and then he said now i need to fix it and later in another text he called the russia probe an" investigation that could lead to impeachment" and that was before he texted that before he joined the mueller team. he wa

let me bring -- bng in andy biggs. comey says he values the chain of command, but he stepped outside of it on more than one occasi what do you think it consequences will be? >> we all s he's t narcis we always thought he was. but we need to see the i.g. report. if there was criminal conduct associated with that insubordination which i suspect there may be, then we should get the attorney general's offe prosecuting the case. i suspect he was misusing his position to let hillary clinton dona trump which we know heem on did. he admitted this. we see contradictions that should lead to conviction. kennedy: i know he probably thinks it's a bang-up idea to write a book because he wants to tell the world his special story. he says he's fallen i love with his own ideas. but within that book tour there have been a series of di could those beegallyproblematic. >> he can say whatever he wan in a book tour. there is no law against that. but where it might provide prlems is where he testified under oath to congress and given affidav

arizona congressman andy biggs is a member of the house judiciary committee.questions at that hearing this morning. i want to ask about that. first i want to get a little information on peter strzok. i think there is confusion here. yesterday he said he is offering to testify and answer questions before congress voluntarily and goodlatte, the chairman of the committee, is planning to subpoena him. why subpoena him if he is volunteering his testimony? >> because if you volunteer your testimony you can always back out. we want to make sure he gets there and we have an opportunity to go forward. also if he is coming in voluntarily there is an opportunity to be even more manipulative than otherwise. we want to get him in there and before the committee. we want him to answer the questions about his bias, his roles in this affair, this investigation, and even on the mueller team and how he ended up in the human resources department after violating f.b.i. rules. >> sandra: do we know that's where he was? that was asked about at the hearing yesterday and the f.b.i. di

joining me right now republican congressman from arizona, andy biggs.epresentative biggs, so good to have you here. why do you think it is? why do you think we're dealing with the mueller probe when it's clear that there was very apparent bias there in washington, d.c., against the now president? >> well, we're dealing with the mueller probe as you say, you have the guy who is basically running the hillary clinton investigation, peter strzok, he hates donald trump, he wants hillary clinton to be the president. you have the director, mr. comey, and he is, who knows where he is. he is off the reservation. he is insubordinate, doing his own thing, he says he manipulated, he said this previously, he manipulated to get a special counsel there of robert mueller to investigate trump. trish: he openly admitted that. >> yeah. so what you've got going on here is this corruption, if you will at the very highest levels of our law law enforcement and our attorney general because you got the bruce ohr thing going on over there on the doj side. so this is the outrain

here is congressman andy biggs. >> don't forget the indirect costs of everything that the president andto redirect resources of the federal government to try to respond to this and then different individuals. so this is a very expensive investigation. micheal: harry litman, former united states attorney and deputy assistant attorney general. >> thanks for having me, mike. mike: justice department spent more than $17 million according to report this week, is that reasonable for this kind of probe at this stage? >> yeah, it's more than reasonable. most sensible way to think about it is compare to other comparable probes so on the one hand it's much cheaper, water -- whitewater was $100 million, much, much longer and the results here have been strong. that's point one. but point two is, look, it's a really important thing for this country to get to the bottom of whether there was meddling by russians in the election, any crimes committed by associates of the president, we would spend that money in any event, but what we've spent is a lot less than incomparable probes to date. >> how much p

congressman andy biggs how this probe is dividing our country and h mu impact if any this probe willve on the midterms. >>> tbs not firing samantha bee despite her absolutely horrific, disgusting comments about ivanka trump. instead samantha bee will address the comment on her upcoming episode this week. my intel, why she shouldn't be back at work. her show should not go on. no hate speshould be tolerated. i don't care if you're on the left. tbs should know this. they shouldn't give platform to spew vulgarity, unnecessary hate speech. that is coming up. kevin corke with more on the russia probe. reporter: good to be with you. the white house press briefing set to begin within the hour. we'll have latest once it begins. we suspect we will hear from sarah sanders more about the letter that the president's lawyer sent to the office of special counsel, not only asserting he could pardon himself if he chose but end the russ entirely. this is something you and i talked about at great length. this is the letter obtained by fox news. this missive i must say was legally comprome might argue a

my first guest republican congressman andy biggs of arizona sits on the house judiciary committee and is a member of the conservative house freedom caucus. great to see you today. thank you for being here. >> good to be with you. >> harris: you saw with the letter, the question is can a president -- a president, any president -- obstruct justice? >> well, i think that is what they claimed in the nixon case but in this particular instance if you look at 18 usc 10.201-15.10. you won't fight anything obstructing justice because none of the predicate elements of the offense are even met. so i think that robert mueller anis team and those that are claiming that are premature. certainly, yeah, i suppo that a president may obstruct justice if he is acting corruptly, taking bribes to do something like that. sort of that, it's hard for me to imagine that the chief of the executive branch is capable of obstructing justice. >> harris: congressman biggs, what do you make of just the details in the letter ashe pdicate for not sitting down? what is your opinion? >> i agree with him. i think it woul

bring in republican congressman andy biggs from the house judiciary committee. let me ask about kevin clinesmith. he said he was so stressed that he said what he could have done differently. what did he do to try to help he would have like to have done more of? how do we interpret that? >> that is how i interpret it. he is disappointed that the candidate didn't win and they didn't do more to obstruct the trump campaign. so he is saying i wish i had it back and i wish i had done more. i think it gets to why so many of us view the report with skepticism but he is out there looking and pitching. the f.b.i. masked people to protect them and they asked ran an investigation that had predetermined outcome it looks like. they took the whole team, many of those people and just threw them in the russian investigation. problematic. >> melissa: yeah. and eventually, i mean, we do know he was removed from mueller's team when all of this was revealed. but he was on there at the start. i bet it makes you more interested in seeing the documents how the mueller investigation, ho

let's bring in congressman andy biggs. what do you think you will find in the documents? >> add into what we've seen in the inspector general's report. i think there was bias. i think it's obvious and i know what we're going to see is people like strzok and page and comey and, they were investigating and hassling, not necessarily hassling but investigating the trump campaign with no authority to do so and no probable cause to do so. and if that's the case, then that's an abuse of power clearly, and i think the question is how high up did it go in the previous administration. liz: congressman, you and colleagues, congressman ron desantis and matt gaetz quting draft procedures in the clinton e-mail investigation why do you want to see the drafts as well? >> they did a draft and gave the draft to party ofs interest like mr. comey and the department of justice and the fbi and so they could respond and actually perhaps even refute some of the original findings. we want to make sure it wasn't skewed, and that they didn't impact unfairly the ultimate report. liz: good to see you

for example, right after that interview aired, arizona republican congressman andy biggs had this tobout giuliani's admission. >> i don't think somebody with president trump's income level actually maybe writes all his checks, you know what i mean? it would not surprise me if yes he authorized the payment and, you know, it just gets kind of lost in the shuffle. i know that sounds crazy perhaps on a certain level. >> seth: no, it sounds crazy on every level. [ light laughter ] and it begs the question if a $130,000 payment to a porn star can get lost in the shuffle, what else is in the shuffle? [ light laughter ] seriously, how do you lose track of a hush payment to a porn star? can you imagine trump with a green visor trying to balance his checkbook? "let's see 100 bucks for electricity. 85 for cable. okay. $130,000, what's this for? honey, do you know what the -- oh, never mind, honey. [ laughter ] for fun stuff." [ light laughter ] but the question still stands, why did giuliani do this? and here's what i this is going on. every time someone in trump's orbit gets a close up look at

me right now someone doesn't like either bill, give you idea where this is headed, congressman andy biggsf arizona. i had ed rollins on with me as i reported news the compromise bill had been deplayed. that means they don't have the votes. do you think they will get them? >> they have an uphill battle because you're dealing with issue, trying to be conservative enough to try to keep tivesn and trying to be moderate on trying to get moderates on. we start playing that game, you will not probably get there, because not get no democrat votes here. neil: trish: you don't like either bill. how come? >> for a lot of reasons. daca amnesty is something not only i but most of my colleagues campaigned against. it is amnesty. they get special treatment. and they get to move ahead of folks trying to do it right way around the world. millions of people that want to come here. i think you keep your promises. the first thing we should have been doing, building the wall. we should have started that process a year-and-a-half ago. we would be build being the wall today. guess what you wouldn't have asylum

melissa: gop lawmaker andy biggs officially introducing a motion asking for maxine waters resignation the democratic congresswoman suggested to her supporters that they forcefully confront members of the trump cabinet anywhere they might be. joining me to discuss this is al vida king author of america return to god, niece of martin luther king jr. , and a fox news contributor and the perfect voice to hear from at this moment. do you think that what she did there was dangerous or not? >> i want to say, melissa, well , hello everybody first, but ouch to congresswoman waters. you know, this is not the first time that she's done those types of things. i thought it was amazing when she said just push back, resist, confront them wherever they are and then our press secretary was kicked out of a restaurant, sarah huckabee sanders and she wasery gracious as she always is and then the congresswoman said well let me read you all the things that president trump has said that were not nice either but let me give you the difference between congresswoman waters and president trump. president trump

john biggs the benefits of this automatic andi biggs the benefits of this automatic and i think we needtion but we both think it will work. thank you both much. well, let's look back toa you both much. well, let's look back to a little earlier in the day. the man at the centre of this afternoon's commons drama is scottish mp ian blackford, and he told us in his words what happened in the chamber. well, what happened, the fundamental issue here is the lack of respect which is being shown to the scottish parliament and to the people of scotland. we faced a situation last night where the government brought forward amendments to the withdrawal bill that as a result of which, 2a areas of devolved responsibility are being taken back from scotland to westminster. that's in the teeth of the united opposition of the scottish national party, the labour party, the liberal democrats and the greens, who have all refused to give a consent motion. we had the ludicrous situation that the government forced this through last night, with effectively no debate. there was less than 20 minutes for matters to

plain and simple joining us now andy biggs a republican congressman from arizona. show good to have you. >> good to be with you, stuart several guests on this program said national debt is going to create a debt bomb explosion. which will wreck our financial system -- is that your line of thinking? >> yes, it is. i think we're headed over the edge. you know, if they give a water fall we're in the boat and now almost to the point where we can't get out of the flow. we're heading over unless we do something immediately. >> when do you think the debt bomb may explode if nothing is done? >> well i think since the medicare trust fund is going to be defunk in about eight years -- you're looking at about 8 to 10 year period of time that we have to get this thing fixed. >> you see that's always the problem isn't it off in the future well you know -- we see this terrible thing coming but it's off in the future. so there's always a tendency to put it off don't do anything about it because you want to do something about it to cause feign right now. and no politician wants to

my next guest introduced a measure to have waters censored, andy biggs.t do you hope to get out of this? >> i think the institution has to take a stance. that's what the framers in the constitution said. you have to police yourself. i think just making individual comments like many of us have said this is repugnant doesn't do it. she has indicated since she made her initial comments that she doesn't see anything wrong with them. that she doesn't have any remorse, no regrets, and she will continue to encourage this kind of in your face harassment of people who support president trump and work on his staff. i see visions of the elaine chao incident. for pete sake, we have a press secretary that has to have a security detail. you can't keep lighting the fuse here and hope thnoing happens because i think we are getting a tinderbox. >> bill: you mention elaine chao incident. go ahead and roll it, guys. she was leaving and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and this is what happened there. [people shouting] let them have it and apparently one of the guys in

. >> reporter: now, an arizona congressman, andy biggs, issued a censure motion on monday night thatondemns waters. he says her comments, quote, condone public violence and encourage action that jeopardized the safety own security of government officials. it's unclear when or if that censure motion would ever get a vote. >> ed, thanks. nancy pelosi, the democratic leader in the house, also, like chuck schumer, basically rebutted what waters had called for in a tweet. so there is a message coming from the leadership, we're not going to get voters that we need to win back the house if this is the rhetoric that defines our party. >> they seem to be reluctant to mention her by name. i come from the two wrongs don't make a right school. seems like we're on a big slope to get to the bottom as fast as possible. i think a lot of people could use michelle obama's memo. they didn't get the memo. when they go low, we go high. a lot of people need that memo again. it's very unfortunate to see what's happening on both sides. nothing is going to get done if we continue this way. nothing. >>> stock

one of the men questioning him will be arizona congressman andy biggs who is with us now. nice to see you, sir. we appreciate it. i won't make you tip your hand about what questions mr. horowitz might face. big picture, what do you want to know from him? >> i want him to expand on comey and comey's role in all of this. that would be the first thing. i think the second thing is that's really important is i'm going to press for unmasking of the more than a dozen fbi, high level fbi agents, doj folks who were leaking and receiving everything from tickets to meals, as they leaked information out to try to manipulate public opinion on various investigations. i'm also going to be pressing to see if we can get that examine-- i've already sent a letter on this joined with several people, desantis and gates from florida, but we want the original draft that went out to the doj and the fbi and we want to know where they made-- not mistakes, but where they were trying to rehabilitate, if you will, the report before it became final. leland: now, you say where they were trying to. do yo

how closely are central banks looking at g7 andy biggs summit in singapore?- and the biggest summit in singapore? megan: they are certainly watching it. to model the implications of trade skirmishes on growth and inflation. macro take a normal forecasting model and try to shop it for these different scenarios, there is actually not a huge impact. cannott is because you get so granular that you can input disruptions to global supply chain, and that will be the biggest impact. it is hard for the fed to figure out exactly how that will impact their forecast. mark: what about e.m. central banks. are they modeling? i certainly think some emerging markets like mexico are looking at nafta negotiations very carefully. i think elsewhere, the risks are more diffused. certainly, in a ago they have more hawkish ahead of the fed, simply because of the massive risk. could trump go bilateral when it comes to nafta? forward, is that viable? lupin: when it comes to trump, we cannot rule anything out. near-term,very having a nafta agreements before the mexican election seems m

congressman andy biggs, republican from arizona, is with us.sponse to that tweet was the president is abandoning due process. what's your response? >> well, actually, if you're an illegal immigrant, i'm not sure you're entitled to due process but for the law. the reality is we have 50,000 people crossing the border, we've got a massive surge. you have 500 at least unaccompanied minors a day, we're looking at 30,000 more coming in. i understand exactly the frustration that the president feels. congress has dithered on building a wall. it's a huge problem, and he's right, it is a mockery. stuart: well, you're on the border. you're a border state congressman. >> yep. stuart: there's not going to be a fix for the immigration situation anytime soon. i don't care what happens in congress, it's not going to happen. there's not going to be a new system introduced suddenly, and yet we have thousands of people coming to the border as we speak. it's going to be absolute chaos, isn't it? >> well, it's already absolute chaos. if you talk to border patrol of

. >> the chair recognizes the andy man from arizona, biggs, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. general testified that peter strzok led the for the emailboth investigation and the initial russian investigation. would you agree with his characterization of that? well, again, i wasn't there, say thatk it's fair to mr. strzok played a lead role in both investigations. exactly how it was structured and who supervised whom, you probably subject to a little more context and explanation by others but i off. think that's far >> fair enough. characterized today, the finding by the there was eneral is bias, affected the made in the hillary rodham clinton investigation. a s a bit of mischaracterization because under questioning, let's just go here, you probably have the book right there, if you go to is, nope. i think it page 149, what you will find, and this is one thing the testified to ral did not find ou documentary testimony evidence bias-- including political directly affected the specific investigative decisions. when we explored it, he admitted that those biases that had,

schweikert: congressman biggs, i always want to call you andy, somehow those of us who see these numbers, how do we find a way to humanize that discussion? we want to talk about econom vitality and these things. but there's almost this cruelty of you're going to remain unemployed, you're going to remain underemployed. you're going to remain undercompensated. you're not educated well enough to come into the mainstream. and we've demonstrated in the last several months that doesn't have to be the america we live in. that we're seeing individuals who were subti marginalized in our society finding employment and finding opportunity and finding that economic vitality and growth. and i think actually for a lot of us, that's our struggle. we're looking for a way to humanihe sty,haturns out a robu actually really good for families, for individuals, for your future, for just the individual psyche. and maybe there's an artist out there of language who can help us find an elegant way to say this story. mr. biggs: well, you've done a grood job tonight. you've talked about your starbuc experience. yo
