we'll ask virginia congressman david bratt about that. and the justice department is taking action on the opioid crisis in what's being called the biggest crackdown on healthcare fraud. the numbers are staggering. stay close. with hydrogenated oil... ...but real joyful moments are shared over the real cream in reddi-wip. ♪ reddi-wip. share the joy. yeah, 'cause i got allstate. if you total your new bike, they replace it with a brand new one. that's cool. i got a new helmet. we know steve. switching to allstate is worth it. >> harris: the justice department is charging more than 400 people in a crackdown on healthcare fraud. the total $1.3 billion. attorney general jeff sessions and hhs secretary tom price announced that operation today. they said many of the suspects are doctors, nurses and pharmacists who were illegally dealing opioids. authorities making arrests in more than 30 states. wow. half the country. andrew mccabe said some doctors were writing more prescriptions than entire hospitals. the senate is delaying its august recess in

delores huerta, a longtime activist, is here, also, director and filmmaker peter bratt, on their new film, "dolores," which opens up here in the bay area in september, will talk about their film, the documentary that focuses on the work of dolores huerta. we also have quentin lee, who will talk about his documentary, documenting his life as a gay hollywood dad, that's all coming up here on the program. before we get started though, let's check in and see

virginia republican congressman dave bratt joins us now and congressman, you are from virginia.proud? >> yeah, it's just a super day to see that ship and all the military men and women out there. we're very proud virginians today and americans. >> by the way, president trump made a direct attempt on his part to get the american people involved in pursuing his beefing up of the military, in the commissioning ceremony. let's listen in to the president. >> now, we need congress to do its job and pass the budget that provides for higher, stable, and predictable funding levels for our military needs. that our fighting men and women deserve, and you will get, believe me. president trump, i will tell you, you will get it. don't worry about it. but i don't mind getting a little hand, so call that congressman and call that senator and make sure you get it. >> how are you going to react to those phone calls, congressman? >> yeah, very positive. i'm on the budget committee. i think you know, and the folks, we -- the budget committee and the republican house, plus, the budget, higher than t

joining me, congressman dave bratt congressman, great to have you with us as always.te his suddenly committed pal in leadership mitch mcconnell and show then the recess? >> i hope so. the house freedom conference had a news conference today. we have huge work to do it's like bumper cars. it's all connected. the tax relief, the corporate tax rates, putting money back into the pockets of people. the border adjustable piece is probably going away, that's a trillion dollars. we have huge work to line up this agenda, and we need to stay in session until we get that lined up. tell the senate what's acceptable to us and the american people so they get it right on healthcare. lou: i have great respect for kevin brady, the chairman of the ways and means committee. but this border adjustment tax is utter irresponsibility. it needs to end and adjustments be made, not a bored adjustment tax, but adjustments to it absence. >> the white house says no. bun chin says no. i think it's done. i think it's getting there. but the more problematic piece is, if we don't sort out the fiscal

. >> eric: i saw an interview with dave bratt, freedom caucuses member. professor, knows his numbers. neil cavuto asked him, if you get this bill that come are you okay. are you okay with holding your nose and agreeing to this massive investment tax? he said yeah, i can do that. what goes on? you get to d.c. and your principles and values go off the window? >> herman: 29 others aren't going to do that. i've talked to some of them. 29 of 30 aren't going to do that. it's going to be another train wreck. >> these moderate republicans got everything they wanted. they have $172 billion for medicaid for example. they get 40 times the amount of money for opioid and heroin abuse treatment. that's still not enough? >> michael: the problem with the current structure as it doesn't go to underlying regulations. you have to address the regulations or you maintain the core of obamacare. that's what's driving a lot of the insurers out of the markets, and that's a huge problem not just for hospitals, for long-term care as well. what we are having -- >> eric: so the insur

listen to republican lawmakers, though, like virginia's dave bratt calls out democrats for being whatalls hysterical when it comes to this investigation. >> you got to separate out the political. we have a probe going forward on the russia piece. on the police piece, you find a statute violated you got it. my senators in virginia are getting apoplectic, and smoke everywhere he goes like he's in a cheech and chong movie are and kaine now thinks the son is worse than benedict arnold. we've gotten a little hysterical and should just get grounded. >> you know, undeniable points for bringing up cheech and chong in this discussion, nevertheless, i am struck by the fact republicans picked up on some democrats using the word "treason." tim kaine, the senator from virginia used the word possibly, maybe look into that. but treason doesn't really apply when not in a time of war. democrats have given republicans a little ammunition there. >> what happens in these situations the party playing defense in a sense hopes the other side overplays its hand. not surprising they would seize on perhaps the

joining me now, dave bratt republican congressman from virginia and member of the house freedom caucus. thanks for coming on. >> you bet. >> nancy pelosi just said republicans are enablers. do you agree? >> i missed it. are neighbors? >> enablers. enablers. >> i don't know. she's doing politics. that's all right. i heard the last segment, the bank robbery analogy and someone drives a getaway car they're guilty. i'm an economist, not a lawyer. but what you got to do is just name the statute that's been violated. we're a nation under laws, not of men. so if there's proof that a statute's been violated, then there is an issue. if there's not, i think a couple issues have gotten conflated. there's been the russia messing around in our elections. i don't think anybody's denying that. obama knew about that a full year ago and didn't do much on it. now that's still in play. we have mueller investigating that. then the other issue is the democrats are upset president trump won the election. so they've been saying impeach, impeach since day one. that's obviously more political. you got to separ

i'm watching benji bratt say goodbye to him after he passed away. i'm watching s.s one of the best actresses on tv, i love you s. epatha. no daniel day lewis, but -- [ laughter ] and she's talking about how great he was. so i've been, i've been like, giving myself my own masters degree. >> seth: i think it says -- [ light laughter ] says something about how much people can miss new york that they will watch a show that is about murders in new york. like it's like new york murders and it's still like, "aww, new york." [ laughter ] >> miss it. miss all those murders. >> seth: there'sif >> miss all those cold streets with murders on them. >> seth: always solving them, though. they always solve them. >> always. >> seth: are you excited about "thrones"? are you excited about new "thrones"? >> new "thrones" -- i mean, i don't know, man. it's so violent. >> seth: yeah, it is violent. >> like i'm kind of -- the world is so violent, i kind of want -- i want -- i want -- >> seth: you want "chopped." >> i want "chopped." or i just also want just videos of dogs. >> seth: okay.

i'm joined now by congressman dave bratt, republican from virginia. let's start there.he's amended the security clearance form a number of times. he's added more than 100 names. still didn't include the don junior meeting with the russians everyone has been talking about after the second revision. "wall street journal" reporting, congressman, he also somehow forgot he had $250,000 in israeli government bonds, and left out his art collection with his wife. should his security clearance be revoked or suspended? >> well, i have a hard time keeping track of all of my art collections, but i don't know what the rules on all of this are. i'm a budget econ guy. we have an investigation going forward on all of this stuff. whatever -- the main issue -- i think two issues are being conflated that need to be separated. one is, the russians are obviously involved in our election process. obama knew that for several months, didn't do anything about it. then the democrats, pelosi, is in the other party, if people at home don't know that. so she sometimes gets a little political. so so
