she calls chuck grassley a maverick.tion. >> fed chair powell said this week the opioid crisis has essentially created a lost generation, especially of young men in this country. in his words they are not taking part in the economic life of the country in a meaningful way because they are addicted to drugs or in jail. do you think congress truly understands how severe this crisis is and are enough lawmakers willing to actually work together to do something that really curbs it? >> i think they understand now. early on i remember when i started working on this. we are starting to see deaths in our state and we have a number of good treatment centers. they had come to me and told me including hazelton betty ford about what was going on. i joined forces with rob portman, republican from ohio, and sheldon whitehouse and at the time, kelly ayotte. we got together and put a bill forward for a blueprint. i remember senators patting us on the head. >> really? >> people didn't understand how bad it was and how quickly addicted pe

my good friend and colleague, senator chuck grassley, senior senator from iowa often referred to dc as an island surrounded a reality and congress and federal agencies don't always know what is best for those off the island in your engagement and the valuable input we provide of spring a much-needed dose of reality to this city. to make it easier for our local officials to participate in and influence the policymaking process i introduced a bill that congress that would require that corridors of executive branch agencies to be relocated outside of washington dc metro area. states and cities would be able to compete to become their new home. this would bring good government jobs to new parts of the country and i think it would also result in a more visible policymaking. this is something that might iowa folks and i were talking about fine stage a little bit and we would love the opportunity to compete for some of these headquarters and it makes sense. for example, usda of agriculture i don't know of too many farmers and ranchers right here in the dc metro area and it would be great for

chuck grassley. i am richard gonzalez and i am the chief executive officer of abbvie, a company dedicated to developing new medicines for some of healthcare's most challenging diseases like cancer, alzheimer's, viral infections and autoimmune diseases. since our inception in 2013 abbvie has invested approximately $50 billion in pursuit of that goal. however because we were tackling some of medicine's most challenging problems solutions don't come easy nor without significant risks. where we have succeeded we have been able to provide cures for fatal diseases like hepatitis c and significantly alter the disease progression for certain cancers lessening the burden of illness on patients and on healthcare systems. this is what the 30,000 employees of abbvie are dedicated to doing. we agree that access to life- saving medicines is a critical issue and we look forward to sharing our perspectives with you there is no one solution to this complex issue but abbvie is committed to working with the committee a

iowa republicas senator chuck grassley says it's time to move on..."for 2 years we spent 41 million dollars, there was no collusionbut some congressional democrats say not so fast.they say the special counsel did not completely exonerate the president...and they want to see mueller's full report for themselves...""we need to get the mueller report.""until we get the follow report released and until we get all of the information that surrounds that, i don't think we should be jumping to any conclusions." but vice president mike pence says he's certain mueller's report will reassure voters.... "this was a total vindication of the president and our campaign"attorney general william barr is promising to release as much of the report as he can.in washington, i'm mark meredith.

forgiveness on foreclosures they're on the list , republican chairman of the senate finance committee chuck grassley is leading the charge and he joins us now. senator grassley always a pleasure. you know i love you to death but at the same time i want to pick a bone with you on this because one of the purposes of the new tax law was to simplify the tax code and one way you do that is by getting rid of a lot of these breaks. you want to bring them back. isn't that going backwards? >> not at all. let me explain to you that first of all, in the tax bill of previous tax bill, we did away with at one-time, we had about 50 some of these, some of them were done away with and some were made permanent law like the research and development tax credit that all the business likes and you would support that , so what we're talking about is these tax policies have been around for a long time, some of them need to be done away with, some of them need to be extended, for a short period of time, and then go away , and some of them need to be made permanent law, so you're talking about some 30 is you're talking abou

senator chuck grassley from iowa. let's bring in our panel now. matthew continetti, editor in chief of "the washington free beacon," mollie hemingway, and white house correspond of for reuters. >> interesting conclusion to te lengthy investigation. you said it was one year, ten months, but it went on close to a year before that. the entire russian narrative was something that was prominent throughout the 2016 campaign. it's worth remembering how that started, that was a political operation, secretly bought and paid for by hillary clinton and the democratic national committee, which spread the story that donald trump was a russian agent. that led to fisa warrants, lead to targeting on the campaign with human informants, it led to, eventually, a special counsel. we have for the last three years frequently says we heard chris wallace say in the last hour that the fact that there were no more indictments coming doesn't necessarily mean much since the president can't be indicted, but it's also true that if that were true, that donald trump had colluded

i'm following in the great footsteps of our senior senator chuck grassley who's done the 99 county tour every year for now going on over 38 years. [applause] kudos to senator grassley. i know that president trump also put the premium on input from all of you and i was glad to see him invite every county commissioner and supervisor in the country to the white house over his first two years in office. and if you're familiar with some of my work in the summit, you'll know that one of my top priorities is to cut bureaucratic red tape and get rid of regulations that don't make sense, yeah, thank you. [applause] >> president trump has been working very hard on this, too. and based on the feedback i receive by folks like you, i led the effort in the senate to crap the burdensome 2015 waters of the u.s. or wotus rule. yes. [applause] probably the number one issue i received feedback on. and while the effort in 2015 was ultimately vetoed by president obama, the epa has recently proposed a rewrite of the rule that i think is reasonable and will provide much needed certainly for our stake holders.

my good friend and colleague, senator chuck grassley, the senior senator from iowa often refers to d.cas an island surrounded by reality. and congress and federal agencies don't always know what's best for those off the island, and your engagement with us and the valuable input you provide helps bring a much needed dose of reality to this city. to make it easier for our local officials to participate in and influence the policy-making process, i introduced a bill last congress that would require the headquarters of executive branch agencies to be relocated outside of the washington, d.c. metro area. states and cities would be able to compete to become their new homes. this would bring good government jobs to new parts of the country, and i think it would also result in a more sensible policymaking and this is something that my iowa folks and i were just talking about behind stage a little bit ago. we would love the opportunity to compete for some of these headquarters and it just makes sense. for example, the usda, the u.s. department of agriculture. i don't know of too many farmers it

this is a bill i'm reading with senator chuck grassley now in charge of the finance committee should be in a place because it saves money if we stop that practice, 2.9 billion over a number of years, and so, we want to put that in some bill, it's a great pay for as we call in washington d.c., because it is a lot of money. okay. that's one. secondly, get less expensive drugs from places like canada. you can do it like the bill i have again with grassley, that was a bill with mccain, who i miss every day. grassley's stepped into his shoes and there are others, i think we had about a dozen republican votes for something like that. and then the third one is to allow for medicare negotiation, which could really help everyone if you unleash the power of 43 million seniors. there are a lot of other idea by my colleagues and i put those out there, those are ones i've been working on for a while. we've seen no improvement and when the administration put out their plan, their plan, the pharma prices, the stocks actually went up. >> and following recent mergers, a handful of companies control 7

tomorrow, the debt ceiling kicks back in and i spoke with chuck grassley of iowa earlier this week and, we never do anything until we have to, but we always come through in the end. why the we raise the debt ceiling, we are going to do it eventually, why not get it done without causing a a lot of turmoil in the marketplace? senator kennedy: we need to raise the debt ceiling, i get that, but we also need to have an adult discussion about why we are here for god's sake. everybody here, including republicans that i talked to, say that we have too much debt, we need to do something about it. i say, let's do something about it. and all you hear is crickets. know,like -- you everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody is ready to make the trip. that is how it is. i was looking at a report the other day on discretionary spending, they are predicting over the next 10 years it will increase 3% a year and they are predicting mandatory spending at 10% a year with interest. by 2023, we will be spending more on interest on our debt than on defense. us to, everybody compares spending like a drunk sai

rdw chuck grassley spoke on the senate floor yes asking why the fbi has not provided a report on theoting death in 2017. news4 chris gdon talked to lawmakers today as a family continues to wait for closure. >> reporter: senator charles grassley expsses his frustration over the lack of information in the park police shooting. >> even this senator got silence from the fbi. >> reporter: fairfax county police made this dash cam video available showing the november 17th shooting on the ginrge waon parkway. two park police officers chased and reportedly shot bijan ghaisar, hitting him four times in the head. he was meun the officers have not been named or charged. senator grassleyent this letter to the fbi. saying it has been a year and the family deserves to know more he el els m despite six adefermettemp to get answers. royne austin is of the lawyers in the ting the family lawsuit against the police. >> the federal government is stonhe wallingm on the information they want, and e they grateful for the help they've received from powerful people like senator grassley. >> don buyers saieed

chuck grassley and diane feinstein asked the health and human services secretary, inspector general to investigate allegations of sexual abuse of unaccompanied minors. >> time for the power panel. fox news contributor leslie marshall, radio show host larry o'connor, host of the jesse and kelly show in houston, welcome to all of you. the numbers that came out today and some of the revelations by the dhs secretary including the regnant the test of every girl over the age of 10 who comes to the border because what happens to them on this trip, that was shocking to me. >> it is shocking and that is part of the crisis, not that these people are coming here, but what happens to them after they get here, separated from their parents, whether they are victims of harassment, sexual assault, molestation and we have a four your backlog in our courts, no legal representation for these individuals and if we have an emergency over the numbers we need to look to the year 2000 when we didn't declare national emergency and had hundreds of thousands more coming to the border at that time 19 years ago. s

iowa senator chuck grassley got an aerial tour of the flood damaged areas as well as the agriculturere trying to do is assess just how extensive the damage is, how bad it's going to be, then come up with a plan to help the farmers. >> getting up in the air and seeing the magnitude of it is really important. it remind us that we've got a long way to go before we're recovered. this won't be over tomorrow or next week. it's going to take month. >> reporter: and right now in the heartland, it is raining. this local rain complicates things. primarily because farmers can't get back to work and start recovering in the middle thof rain. they can't get seed because the fields are too wet. the greater concern is rain upstream and all of the snow melt you have from that snow pack left behind by that bomb cyclone. when that stuff comes down the river, that's what causes the flooding and you have so much damage to the levee that you can't stop it. >> dana: thank you for bringing us this very important story. let's bring in tyrus, co-host of "unpc." and fox news contributor. you went to college in

. >> also we've talked about this letter to chuck grassley that you brought up that was -- resurfaced last several hours. i know one of the things that stood out to you, shan, sort of the length that this letter went to by rod rosenstein to emphasize the doj's historical resistance as you put it to certain congressional requests's that is setting up an interesting little fight i would say in and of itself. >> yeah. certainly is. really kind of drawing a line in the sand. i mean, as someone who's worked at doj in leadership offices that's certainly true. i don't think either congress or rosenstein needed to be reminded of any of those tensions. but he's saying, look, the special prosecutor under our regulations is a doj prosecutor like anybody else and historic willy we don't like congress looking into our business and also takes a little dig at congress saying that the congressional investigations tend to be adversarial. no rules of evidence, all suggesting you guys are kind of like all over the place when you try to interfere with our business. a message loud and clear that we will n

of learning what we can, the other thing that stands out is the letter from rod rosenstein to chuck grassley. a couple of things that were pointed out, specifically involving congressional inquiries, it was noted that you have to be careful with these essentially is what rod rosenstein said. and pointing to the fact that they were being categorized as adversarial in nature. rod rosenstein saying basically, listen, we are doing our job here. it doesn't mean you're going to go down this road the way you think you are. >> he went out of his way, rod rosenstein in the letter to say we don't disparage people who are not charged. the rule of the department of justice is put up or shut up. if you charge someone, you disclose everything. if you don't charge someone you don't embarrass them. well, donald trump cannot be charged under department of justice policy. does that mean nothing should be disclosed about him either? does he win both ways? no indictment and no disclosure? that's a possibility. >> it's good to be the king, as he said in the history of the world. van, i want to ask you about repo

. >> also today chuck grassley and dianne feinstein asked the health and human services inspector generalo investigate allegations of sexual abuse of unaccompanied minors, bret. >> bret: mike, thanks. president trump to rally senate republicans to his cause to prevent more defections over the national emergency declaration. chief white house correspondent john roberts has that story from the north lawn, good evening john. >> john: good evening to you and the factors on the republican side of the aisle support the president strongly on border security. but when it comes to the white house trying to circumvent that congressional operations process, allies quickly become opponents. >> the senate vote is unexpected for another eight days, but the white house is putting the hard sell on republicans. a vote against the president's emergency declaration is a vote against border security. a vote against the president's emergency declaration is a vote to deny the real humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. >> john: if a vote were held today the president would likely lose. for re

would face criminal charges and we do note too from a limb that rod rosenstein that he sent to chuck grassley, you cannot really talk about this with people that are not being charged. everyone is bracing for the report to not really contain much about what the president might have done wrong. jon: john roberts, our chief white house correspondent, thank you. all eyes on the justice department were a senior official tells fox news, attorney general william barr is reviewing the millie report quote - hand-in-hand with deputy ag rod rosenstein. david spunt is live at the justice department with more. reporter: we have been here all day and the attorney general, william barr has been here for much of the day. there's actually no indication that he has left. we've not seen him leave. from the moment he came in into the administration he said that he was for transparency. especially when it comes to the mueller report. and from what we are hearing, he wants to get the summary. the key bullet points out to members of congress as soon as possible. we do have some video of mr. william barr leaving hi

what about senator chuck grassley? here is what he said during the impeachment trial. politicians to those who leave their labels at the door. we are there to seek the truth to find out whether the president is guilty or not guilty. today the search for the truth seems secondary for most senate republicans. when it was all over in 1999 a handful voted against president clinton. for what it's worth, one of the first senate democrats to condemn the behavior was joe lieberman. hypocrisy used to be the unforgivable sin in american politics. that seems to be one more casualty of donald trump's presidency. we have the evidence of the double standard and the surrender to ethics. that is your reality check. >> it's a reality check and i would argue that hypocrisy not being like the death nail of the career that started before donald trump. >> he is a symptom of the larger problem, not the cause. i think his example has legitimated that play and made people feel they can be teflon. >> i always wonder if breaking the rules and breaking the mold only applies to donald trump or if

we should note, though, we just attended a briefing with senator chuck grassley who runs the senate finance committee here on the hill his expectation from the discussions he's had with the administration is that there would be a deal by the end of april. we asked grassley about whether he sees like the president sees the tariffs should stay in place for a substantial period of time he said no he said if there's a strong enforcement deal, he thinks those tariffs, all of them, should come off. the trump administration's top two trade officials will be in beijing for one day of negotiations those are expected to happen overnight u.s. time tomorrow with another round with the chinese delegation here in washington next week kelly? >> kayla, thanks >>> white house economic adviser kevin hastet saying that he believes china negotiators wouldn't still be working if they weren't making a lot of progress on trade talks. with all that happening, let's bring in john rutledge >> kelly, good to be here. >> tlet's talk about the timeline if we're talking late may or june, should the u.s. consumer, should

how about senator chuck grassley.ere's what he said about leaving bipartisanship aside and focussing on the facts. we are mir rack cue lousily transed for from politicians to people who leave their public at the front door. and no stone should be left unturned to make that determination. but today the search for the truth seems secondary for most senate republicans. when was all over in 90 nine 99, handful of democrats voted president clinton and dozens of republicans sided with democrats. there were still some people who put principles ahead of party in '99 and there's precious little evidence of that now. joe lieberman voted against it in 99. ha ha caccracy seemed to be the unforgivable syne. but at least we have the evidence the double standard on at complete surrender to situation will ethics that's the hallmark of our bipartisan. that's your reality check. >> helpful reminder. thank you very much, john. >> nothing says i love you more than hush money payoffs to porn stars. >> that's the hallmark card this they're

senator graham is the current senate judiciary committee chairman but the former one, senator chuck grassleys among the many republicans who have said it really has to come in its entirety to make sure the public has trust in what, you know, what the investigation did and what the attorney general's summary and conclusions about that report, you know, what his conclusion is. and so, the longer that the administration hides this report the more democrats are going to fuel suspicion among voters that covering something up. that's the interesting debate. everyone is blaming adam schiff talking about collusion. senator graham in your view says he was barred by. that's not true. he was cleared of enough evidence to meet the threshold for coordination and conspiracy. collusion is talking to russians. coordination and conspiracy is the legal definition of accepting the help and doing -- and committing a crime. so, when adam schiff, like judge napolitano says there was collusion, we know that don jr. accepted an email that said that the russian government was trying to help his father. >> neil: ther

happy not to pay as much taxes, most of us, as we used to, but there are some people like senator chuck grassley from your own party who want to get, extend a lot of the deductions that you got rid of for this year and next year. are you in favor or against that? >> well, as everyone on capitol hill knows, i hate these temporary tax provisions. they are not pro-growth. we have a new tax code that frankly is better than most of them and then we also, some of them have value. we think those ought to be made a permanent part of the tax code so that the status quo every year or two years doing these temporary tax -- i'm hopeful to work with chairman grassley. he and i worked together to actually do that, to phase out the biodiesel tax credit over a few years. we think that's a good example to set. >> congressman, i think you are totally right that it's the big programs, social security and medicare, that really need to be addressed. the concern of course, across the aisle, no one wants to touch that third rail. what is going to change so that we are actually willing to admit that people are living l

citing a letter from deputy attorney general rosenstein, sent to the senate judicial chairman, chuck grassley june. the he reportedly writes, "punishing wrongdoers through judicial proceedings is only one part of the department mission. he also duty of preventing the disclosure of information that would charge people not charged with crimes." rosenstein also take issue with then, fbi director james comey publishing publicly criticizing hillary clinton as he decided not to charge her over public service scandal. he published an op-ed today, "are not rooting for mueller to demonstrate that he's a criminal. i'm also not ruling for mr. mealy to cook the president paid i'm rooting for a demonstration to the world and would be most of all to our president and his enablers that the u.s. has a justice system that works. because there are people who believe in it and rise above personal interest and tribalism. that system may reach conclusions they like, or it may not. but the apolitical admin's ration of justice is the beating heart of this country." meanwhile, politico reporting several democratic l

also today, senators chuck grassley and dianne feinstein asked the health and human services secretarypector general to investigate allegations of sexual abuse of unaccompanied minors. shannon? >> shannon: thank you very much. time now for tonight's power panel. fox news contributor leslie marshall, radio show host larry o'connor, and host of the jesse kelly show, jesse kelly. welcome to all of you. >> hi, shannon. >> shannon: the numbers that came out today, and some of the revelations by the dhs secretary, including that they have to pregnancy test every girl over the age of ten because what happens to them on the strip? leslie, that was shocking to me. >> that is a shocking. it's not that these people are coming here, it's what happens to some of them allegedly children after they get here whether separated from their parents, whether they are victims of some type of harassment, sexual assault, or molestation. and it's that we have a four plus your backlog in our court, no legal representation for these individuals. if we have an emergency over the numbers, we need to look to the ye

like iowa senator chuck grassley, who only said, "i wish he wouldn't have done it."y was much angrier when gop senate majority leader mitch mcconnell took to the senate floor last week to announce that trump would declare a national emergency. grassley was talking about something totally unrelated and got mad when mcconnell interrupted him. >> allowing these tax credits, incentives to lapse has created uncertainty for investors, and the industry about the availability of these -- >> will the senator yield? >> jeopardizing the long-term investments necessary for the development of these biofuels. i hope the next time i get a chance to have the floor, i won't be interrupted. i yield the floor and put the rest of my statement in the record. >> mr. grassley? >> leader mcconnell. >> seth: you know you're old when the young 'un disrespecting you is mitch mcconnell. [ laughter ] that's how loud grassley yells when trump cuts him in line at the omelet bar. [ laughter ] we're at the whims of angry old men screaming about stuff they hear on talk radio or see on fox news. trump
