now the chairman of the judiciary committee in the house is republican congressman bob goodlatte. he appears to have no interest whatsoever in investigating this matter. he has certainly taken no steps to exercise his committee's oversight role on this at all. i should tell you as an aside, since president trump has been in thafrks only reason bob goodlatte has made any news at all is because he brewed up a little local controversy at home in virginia when he got his speeding ticket amended so they dinged him for a faulty speedometer instead of for going 69 in a school zone. that's the only way he's made news. and he's got the committee in the house that would oversee something like an investigation into obstruction of justice. a democrat on his committee, congressman luis gutierrez wrote to bob goodlatte and said, hey, we're the judiciary committee. this is our turf. we should be investigating possible obstruction of justice. let's have the president come in and testify under oath before our committee. but that's just a request to the chairman from one democrat on his committee.

we're joined by the chairman of the house judiciary, bob goodlatt, a friend of mine for a long time. bob is one of the most skilled legislators in congress, and you didn't even tell me to say that, bob, right? and he's worked with law enforce tomt write a series of critical immigration bills that will close the dangerous loopholes exploited by criminals, gang members, drug dealers, killers, terrorists, and ms-13 is a prime target. a bad people. and we've gotten many of them out already. we're pretty much at the 50% mark. we're getting them out as fast as we can get them out and we're freeing up towns, liberating towns if you can believe we have to do that in the united states of america. but we're doing it and we're doing it fast. also with us today are congressman peter king, lou barleta, another friend so you're running for governor, lou? can you make a big announcement, lou. lou barletta, an early supporter, thank you. and david young. tomorrow the house will vote on the no sanctuary for criminals act. it's been in the works for a long time. people that wanted it for a long time we

bob goodlatte (virginia): when you can take criminals off the streets. when you can prevent things from happening like what happened to kate steinleon thursday he held a joint news conference with department of homeland security secretary john kelly. kelly explained the sanctuary cities law will withhold funding from communities where officers do not cooperate with ice agents. kelly: arresting a criminal while they are still in custody is always, always the best option, additionally failing to honor an ice detainer means that these criminals are out on the streets that much longer. supporters says the bills are part of president donald trump's promise to crackdown on illegal immigration, but others argue this would take money away from communities and hurt families. juan vargas (california) they want to penalize these poor mothers who want to reunite with their families because that's what they are trying to do in most cases when they get kicked out and come back. -on cam tag- brie this wouldn't be the first time we heard these arguments on capitol hill.

and i want to thank chairman bob goodlatt for his efforts. bob has been working very hard. really for a long time. we got it going. first the house will be voting on kate's law, legislation named for kate steinly who was killed by an illegal immigrant with five prior deportations and lots of bad things on his record. the second is the no sapnctuary for criminals act. to cities that release dangerous criminal aliens back into the streets, includie ing the vicio and disgusting and horrible ms-13 gang members, and we're getting them out. we're getting them out. they're going, fast. >> general kelly and his whole group, they've gotten rid of 6,000 so far. we're about 50% there and we're actually liberating towns like on long island where i grew up. we're liberating towns. those people are so happy to see our guys, and our guys are a lot tougher than the ms-13 characters, that i can tell you. liberation. i'm calling on all lawmakers to put the safety of american families first. and let's pass these bills through the house, through the senate. and send them to my desk. i will giv

bob goodlatte is fighting to get these bills to the floor for a vote.bout kate's law. they've been hearing about it for so long a lot of people assumed it had already been passed. what's the hold-up? >> the hold-up has been getting a president of the united states who would sign this bill into law. we passed it in the last congress and it didn't go anywhere. now pass it through the house this week and we're hoping this senate will take it up because it has such enormous public support. they can't understand why a city or other jurisdiction would choose not to cooperate with ice to get criminal aliens off their streets so things like the horrible murder of kate steinle don't happen to other people. >> shannon: you mentioned it has been floating around out there and the president is trying to take executive action. a number of cities and towns sued and they'll keep suing. what is the argument against cooperating with federal immigration authorities when people's lives are sometimes at stake? >> i think it's largely political unfortunately. i think these c

committees in congress that would have jurisdiction over obstruction of justice by the president or bob goodlatte and said, hey, we're the judiciary committee, this is our turf, we should be investigating potential obstruction of justice now that these serious allegations have been levied against the president. let's have the president come in and testify behind our committee. that's just a request from the chairman from one democratic on his committee. so far senator good looth lavenlt atlanta doesn't seem like he's going to do anything from this. auto. >> on the sideline -- >> comey said this would be his only pep anticipate tomorrow if under our rules, if senator feinstein to subpoena, i would agree. >> that's that good cnn reporter, manu raju, basically door stopping chuck gratly, and being questioned by him, he says, yeah, if the d-- if diann feinstein to wpt so his kids, they may wanted to do something very much that. the reason i think tonight we she has issue just the this is. there mr. champ charm as ranging member it's my center investment inves qualt gate all strukzs that rich a develo

sessions: we offer our thanks not only to chairman bob goodlatte and distinguished the gentleman from iowa, mr. king, for his work on behalf of all members on the floor today for his work not only for the judiciary committee, but people of faith and confidence that this country can address the issues and needs. mr. chairman, i offer this amendment with dr. michael burgess, who is also from my home state of texas, as well as a member of the rules committee. the goal of our amendment is to clarify that health care liability claims covered by the legislation include safety, professional and administrative services directly related to health care. in other words, we're bringing in the entire scope, not just necessarily the medical procedure. and i was glad to see that h.r. 1215 adopts many of the reforms that states across this country have thoroughly tested in their efforts to improve medical liability law, including my home state of texas. not all claims asserted against health care providers arise from the direct provisions of medical care. my amendment addresses the full spectrum of h

bob goodlatte, the house judiciary committee has been missing in action as far as our responsibilities in terms of article i, independent and co-equal branch of government in the house of representatives, there are two sides to the united states congress, and we in the house should do our job in overseeing the department of justice and the things that had happening as it relates to the investigation to ensure its independence, to make sure that the president understands that both democrats and republicans stand united in wanting the american people to get the facts without interference from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> the house intelligence community has really taken the lead in the house of representatives. stand by. congressman, we have much more to discuss. we'll take a quick break, and we'll resume our special coverage right after this. and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a medication... ...this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain... ...and protect my joints from further damage. humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. humira works by targ

it's also the reason why i wrote to judiciary committee chairman bob goodlatte to request he take actions, hold hearings, begin the preparations for the hearings that will come and they will come, because the silence of the judiciary committee has been deafening so far. as soon as president trump said on friday that he was willing to testify under oath 100% i wrote to chairman goodlatte to say the committee should schedule a hearing and take the president at his word. i don't think the chairman will have the president bass the role of the judiciary is to shield the president from tough questions instead of representing the people's interests. in doing so, judiciary republicans and house republicans in general are getting deeper and deeper into bed with this president. you see, they have a whole agenda and they're counting on this president to help them cut taxes for people with trust funds while cutting health care, education, childcare, civil rights and voting rights for people who work for a living. mr. speaker, the house judiciary committee ought to be in the middle of congressional ex

i thank chairman bob goodlatte for joining with me on this and putting his name on top of this. we could still be stuck back in hearings and markups. great week to be debating these immigration bills. the big reason is that hold their feet to the fire week. radio talk show hosts who believe in the rule of law and building a wall, come together at the phoenix hotel in this city and we talk about those rule of law and enforcing immigration law. that's gone on now for a long time. i have joined in most of those. but also, this is the week that the grieving families who lost the loved ones at the hands of a criminal alien in this country, have not only come to this city and joined in in the radio discussion at the phoenix hotel but invited out to the white house to meet with the president yesterday, where there were a number of these families that were there to be represented and respected. and i would say 2/3 to three-quarters of them are people i worked with from the beginning of the tragedy that struck their family. i'm greatly respectful of the individuals who have had the coura

strongly support the underlying bill, h.r. 3003, no sanctuary for criminals act, and i thank chairman bob goodlatte and representative steve king andy biggs for introducing it. this legislation keeps dangerous criminal immigrants off our streets and out of our neighborhoods. and it holds sanctuary cities accountable for breaking federal immigration laws. i have a special interest in this legislation because it enforces a bill i sponsored in 1996 which was enacted into law and made sanctuary cities illegal. the american people sent a clear message to congress last november when they elected a president who promised to enforce our immigration laws. a recent poll shows that 80%, 80% of voters want, quote, cities that arrest illegal immigrants for crimes to be required to turn them over to immigration authorities, end quote. 80%. that's a harvard-harris poll. the no sanctuary for criminals act is a down payment on our pledge to protect innocent americans from criminal immigrants who deserve to be jailed or sent back to their home countries. we need to enact this legislation. there is simply no excuse f

this bill to this point and i want to thank the chairman of the judiciary committee, congressman bob goodlatte, for ushering this bill through the house to this point. and i'm asking my colleagues to please vote in favor of this legislation. h.l. 1393 would provide for uniform and easy administrateable law that will simplify the patchwork of existing inconsistent and confusing state rules. it would also reduce administrative costs to the states and lessen compliance burdens on consumers. take my home state of georgia as an example. if an atlanta-based employee of a st. louis company travels to headquarters on a business trip once a year, that employee would be subject to missouri tax even if the annual visit only lasts for one day. however if that employee travels to maine, her trip would only be subject to tax if her trip lasts for 10 days. if she travels to new mexico on business, she would have only to be subject to tax if she was in the state for 15 days. acuity brands is a leading georgia-based lighting manufacturer that employs over 1,000 associates and has 3,200 associates nationwide wh
