and i would be telling you that if i were staying in congress. >> bill: might be the quote of the morning. voicing his support for bob mueller saying he can do what congress cannot and that is conduct a serious investigation. jason chaffetz reacts to that coming up shortly. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.

annie lan mentioned that congress has brought up a few bills to change that law. doesn't it belong in congress? it's where they make law about taxes. >> it does belong in congress, bill, but at the same time judge kennedy deserves constructive credit for bringing this to the court because it was a court decision, as you and sue reported 25 years ago on ta cat lag business r that'sl retail regression when all this was less than $200billion. now it's over $5 trillion and ry important for the economic future viability of retail in the u.s. >> well, we'll knowunn one way or another. burt, thank you so much. >> keep our fingers crossed for the best. >> with strategic resource group. bill. >> sue, csx tops pectations. that's where we begin our focus. after the bell, they said decline inperating costs helped profits rise. companies revue initche higher as well. shares initially popped in the after hours. trading they ended regular session up 56.57. after united couldn't reported results improved from a year ago. company also gave earnings guidance 2018234 line with expect

. >> congress billed the president $1.6 billion for the wall and it will be 25 billion he requested and he is focusing on mexico to stop immigration. >> mexico has to help us at the border.>> caravans of undocumented immigrants are coming into the u.s. to mexico. >> we have done more good than bad. stake president says he will end the free-trade agreement between the u.s. mexico and canada if mexico doesn't do more to stop illegal immigration. >>> protections were scheduled to end last night the court rulings have kept the program in place until higher currents can write a.m. to >>> meeting between president trump and russian president could be in the works. the kremlin says mr. trump made the invitation last month when he called to congratulate the president. it would be the first time putin has been at the white house and more than a decade. white house press secretary says no plans have been made. >>> a saudi prince is coming to town along with a very large entourage. we get a look at what the princes -- prince is planning. >>> -- >> the staff says they are prepping for a visit from

president, during the last three congresses, including when our democratic friends controlled the committee. you might think that would be enough around here to get a bill passed. but earlier today a number of the very same democrats who cosponsored this very legislation in this very congress flip-flopped under partisan pressure and voted against it. in fact, if all of the senate democrats who are currently cosponsors of this provision had voted for the bill, the cloture motion would have passed. so let me say that again. if the cosponsors of this measure in this congress had voted for the bill, the cloture motion would have passed. if only those democrats who put their name on this provision would have actually followed through and voted for it, the filibuster would be over. look, our constituents sent us here to stand for their interests. in land-lock states like kentucky and missouri, thousands and thousands of jobs depend on our inland waterways. in coastal states like delaware, washington, and florida, major ports enable hundreds of billions of dollars of u.s. commerce. and of course the people of hawaii relying on shipping for everything from groc

passeduses of congress bills equalizing male and female salaries, but the change did not come. the arguments in these four debates were similar. longlyzed them as one conversation. there were a lot of men in favor of equal pay. senator palmer roy asked in 1869, where labor is performed, the compensation should be incapacity of the labor. the samebor is -- amount of time is bestowed, why should not the compensation be the same? radical republicans including palmer roy led the change, and some democrats, who supported slavery, which created great amounts of cognitive dissonance. if a laborer has two heads in one hand and another labor has two hands in one head, should they not be paid the same? we were arguing something very different years ago. the arguments for equality were straightforward. this is the just thing to do. they were in tune with the ideological rhetoric of equality permeating the nations capital at the time. the men who advocated equal pay believed the government should be a force of social change. senator bill gates from illinois called on his fellow senators to

congress. they aren't serious. >> bill: that's trey gowdy now defending bob mueller's probe claiming congress isn't a serious investigation because you have the leaks all over washington, d.c. jason chaffetz, good day to you. i don't imagine you disagree with him. >> i don't watch the gossip girls like he does. i haven't seen that show. i think we share the same frustration. you had adam schiff. he starts this flailing about collusion and more than a year later we don't see any evidence of it. he had come to the conclusion before he let the evidence take it there. gowdy a serious prosecutor throughout his career wants to let the facts dictate where we end up. and then you combine on that the leaking and then to gowdy's other point, my great frustration is i thought a republican administration would open up the coffers, would open up the door to the facts and everything from fast and furious to the irs investigations that we had done to the hillary clinton email investigation. not so much about hillary clinton but all the people and the process. >> bill: you've been pounding the department of justic

my take on this beat the congress bill is that you have to have a couple of audiences when you're inron's situation. you have the folks at home who you have to throw an olive branch to appear at he has to say something positive about the paris accord and he would encourage the president to come back in and then you've got this audience at home and then you have the president. i'm sure that's what foreign leaders do, they have to make sure that they walk that line to some extent and i'm sure that's what he was doing. >> he went a little further than that. he didn't say he hopes he'll reconsider, he said the president will come back to the paris accord. i don't think he will. then he attacked nationalism. you have to think that's funny. frenchmen attacking nationalism. does any country love themselves as much as the french? i like france two-thirds away, i like america better. i like the way our president extended himself, didn't give him the back of the hand. he's a guy who gives a lot. >> martha: always good to see you, sir. >> he is always welcome. >> martha: karl rove is here, depu

congress passed the g.i. bill and i say with certainty that i would not be standing before you today without the opportunity that the g.i. bill gave me. not only to get an education but to have structure and a path forward, and the feeling that there was a way for me to help people. this proved to me that when congress acts responsibly, it can build a better america. that is why when i was blessed with the opportunity to lead the senate committee on veterans' affairs, i dedicated myself helping our service members and veterans and their families and worked with my colleagues to expand v.a. services and pass a new 21st century g.i. bill. so i want to take this moment to urge all of my colleagues and all of the incoming senators and representatives that they do everything they can for veterans and their families, because we asked to sacrifice so much for us. they put their lives on the line while their wives and husbands watched over their families. caring for them is one of the most sacred obligations as a nation,

and bill, senator, please stand up, and congress, bill, stand up, please. a lot of good congressmen. my friends, there is a brave one. these guys, they fight for you. they fight for you. you fought for them. they fight for you. that i can tell you, especially this group. thank you, both. thank you, everybody. we also want to thank our really amazing -- these are amazing people. the military spouses and families, could the families and spouses please stand up? incredible people. incredible people. their love and dedication and support is really the foundation of our military might. we give them a lot of credit. i want to thank mike livington and everyone at the wounded warrior project. thank you, mike. and mike has done an incredible job. mike spent 35 years leading soldiers as an infantry soldier reaching the rank of lieutenant general i know mike agrees that there is no more important job than supporting the warriors who have fought and bled to keep us free. so i want to thank you very much. we all want to. that's why we are fighting to reform the va and t

he won't give details to congress. >> bill: he leaked the memo in the first place. reporters from "the new york times" have seen them. we know what james comey has concluded. if you watch the entire interview from sunday night he said it himself, there is no proof of collusion that he has. there is no proof of the dossier that he has. there is no proof that russia has blackmail material over the president. those are his words. he offered no evidence to rebut any of that. >> there is absolutely nothing new in this other than all of the details about the supposed wrongdoing or alleged wrongdoing or fanciful idea about wrongdoing was already known. he focused on the length of the president's tie, the size of his hands. he speculated and gave his judgment about the moral fitness of the president to be president. who cares what james comey thinks about the moral fitness of the president? he was elected by the voters of the country. he won 30 states out of the 50. he is the president and congress is congress. it has the duty to look at oversight over the executive and it

that is one of my regrets but out of the house we passed the single biggest entitlement reform bill congress ever considered and lowered health care premiums and shaved trillion dollars off our long-term debt and unfortunately that bill did not pass the senate. but it did pass the house and i'm proud of that fact. so yeah, we got a lot of work to do, but i do really feel that i've helped contribute to advancing the cause of dealing with entitlement and i think we could make it better. i think the entightment, medicare and medicaid and social security, they could work better and get the debt under control but we have to reform the programs. we've not had bipartisan con senso census to do that and we were able to get a bill this year and i wished we could have passed that into law because i think it would make a great difference but we've advanced the issues. these issues aren't going away and i think we're closer to a consensus than just a couple of years ago when we started talking about this issues. >> i have two more questions and then i know you have to go. maybe it is early for you to be

spending appropriations 5% mandatory 25 now that is 66%, so here you are, member of congress vote for all 12 appropriations bills you put it in direction. that is a small element of

and the tax bill that congress just passed threatens all of that. those who voted for the tax bill gave trillions in tax cuts to the wealthy. they voted to add $1.8 trillion to the national debt. and we know, we know how they will try to pay off his debt. they told us! they are coming after medicaid. so, i hear, i am here because i believe that members of congress need to hear the stories and see the faces of those affected by their votes. there are millions affected by their votes. this is my story. 3 and a half years ago i had a great pregnancy and an amazing birth. and then, 15 minutes after she was born, my daughter was rushed to nicu where she remained for the next five months. 169 days to be exact. since then, she has seen over a dozen specialists and has countless medical procedures. she uses a tracheostomy and a ventilator to breathe and a feeding tube for all of her nutrition. but i am thrilled to tell you that she is thriving today. she is alive and thriving today because of the amazing medical care that she has received. she is alive and t

congress' recent relationship with the i.r.s. and what are they planning to change through these bills? >> the recent relationship has not been great. meshes of congress, itly republicans -- members of congress, particularly the republicans have targeted the i.r.s. for some of its problems with customer service. it's been a main target for budget cuts since the republicans took over the house in 2010. so recently i.r.s. has not gotten a lot of love from congress. the new -- all these bills that are on the floor today and tomorrow are aimed at revamping the i.r.s. a lot of it is following the new tax law. the i.r.s. has a lot of work to modernize tax code after the republicans passed their landmark tax overhaul late last year. this is sort of -- they see it as the next step in that process, revamping the i.r.s., make it more customer friendly. more modern. but this is a bipartisan effort. so democrats are onboard with most of these bills that the house is taking up today and tomorrow. >> it's interesting looking at the tone of debate coming out of the ways and means committee. the bills y

congress to legislate. europe has done it. we need an internet bill of rights. ,hen need to know our data transfer data, to correct data, to access data, limit data. these are principles that were not discussed. answer most questions, but there wasn't any commitment in what legislation would look like. what should have legislators ask? guest: they should have drilled down -- what do you think of your question zuckerberg said there are things they do right. the next question would be what is it that you disagree with? the right to be forgotten? it would violate our first amendment, a can't just say if i don't like this show, take this off the internet. would you be open to adapting those principles? there was not as much of an understanding of the details. in europe the bureaucrats have told these companies what tools to design and how to design them. it was a disservice. withd not come armed knowledge. there was not any real commitment in terms of legislation. host: gd rp? caller: general data regulation protection which will go into place in may and

additional resources and abilities for the postal service to track packages electronically and is a billing congress that has been introduced and something we should all be more aware of with what is your position on that bill and what are we waiting fo for? >> what is it like working with local authorities how do you compare that to today working with mexico or china? >> everybody thinks how did we get on down there with that corruption? it isn't as bad as you think. we worked with the elite group of colombian police officers like operational intelligence they follow up on their needs and they take action. so we found them to be extremely credible. after the fact they think we found out one person was corrupt during that time and this is a person we trusted our lives with every day but we didn't know at the time several years later we found that out but so i think total during the second manhunt there are only three low ranking police officers caught actually making phone calls. we would launch case if you are loading 600 guys on trucks you stick out and they would make phone calls we are getting r

i'm pleased that congress sheer today to consider a long-term bill to re-authorize the f.a.a. this moment has been a long-time -- a long time in coming. congress is not -- has not enacted a long-term f.a.a. bill since 2012 and it's currently running on its fifth extension since that time. mr. larsen: we're here to consider a comprehensive piece of legislation and a bipartisan piece of legislation that provides long-term, predictable funding for the f.a.a., and proves -- improves aviation safety, addresses work force needs and advances vital research in the aviation field. whether large or small, airport as i cross the united states play an important role in community -- across the united states -- airports across the united states play an important role in communities. in washington state, my constituents rely on airports of all sizes. in my hometown of arlington, general aviation at arlington municipal airport is vital and the annual e.a.a. fly-in brings in people from all as crot country. bellingham international airport in northwest washington is a developing airport which r

frankly, it is a constitutional responsibility of the congress and the house where money bills originate. you had a republican congress giving over to the obama administration the power to designate projects. host: congressman, you referenced your book. divide,he partisan which i wrote with a democratic campaign chairman. we talked about how things got so out of kilter. host: what are your recommendations from mr. ohlmeyer -- altmire? host: there are -- guest: there are a series of recommendations, campaign finance reform can the money in our politics. if you study the voting patterns of members of congress, you find they aligned much more closely to the people they get money from then their constituents. that influence his and the way you think about your job. the supreme court has equated money with free speech. it is difficult to reform that process. you have long-term issues like civics education. the american people are woefully undereducated on the way government operates. that is something that would benefit from changing. you have institutional reforms in congress like the filibu

at the end of the day that might go down as one of the biggest failures of this congress. >> bill: notill. >> the failure to repeal and replace obamacare will go down as a bigger failure. i think ryan is right he moved the cause of entitlements along. the math will catch up with us. he shows it isn't the third rail of politics. the house republicans voted on that, held their majority back in 2012 and 2014. he showed that i don't think that entitlements was the reason that romney and ryan lost in 2012. they did fine with seniors. a big frustration that when he is actually in power and republicans have universal control they couldn't get any movement on that. i think eventually just the numbers will catch up with us. >> bill: very interesting. guy reflect on that and reflect on the spending bill signed a week ago and as i ask that question mitch mcconnell is about to come out. when that happens on the floor of the senate we'll take our viewers there when it relates to the paul ryan matter. guy, you have right now -- shall we listen? here is mitch mcconnell. >> like a true leader paul ste

they work for the executive branch but they're answerable to congress. >> bill: last point.ndrew mccabe is going after james comey now. it looks like a firing squad. from his attorneys yesterday afternoon documents that prove that mr. mccabe advised director comey repeatedly he was working with the "wall street journal" on the stories in question prior to publication. neither mr. comey nor the office of the inspector general is infallible and in this case neither of them has it right. boy, these guys are leaking like -- like a waterfall, charlie. >> yeah, the battle of the leakers. i would -- i suspect that they are sort of lucky in one respect. they are lucky that all of this is so vastly complicated and there is so much going on here because if people could focus on any one of these things, one of these egregious things that these people were doing during the campaign, i think that the -- people would just be outraged over all this. >> bill: we'll all have the opportunity in about three weeks. to our viewers at home, circle may 8th on the calendar. that's the day the inspe

on this issue and has worked with colleagues to help address this crisis within the spending bill that congress approved earlier this year. that bill established the joint select committee on solvency of multi-employer pension plans. that is a 16-member panel made up equally of eight senators and eight house members, divided equally between both parties. they are tasked with finding a solution by november 30th, and they held the first of five meetings last month. today senator brown will be discussing this issue, and the committee he is co-leading with u.s. senator oren hatch of utah. he will talk about what is at stake if congress does nothing. since 2007 senator brown has represented ohio in the senate -- in the u.s. senate, focusing much of his attention on american manufacturing and fair trade. brown serves as the ranking member of the senate banking committee and was the first ohio senator in 40 years to serve on the senate agriculture committee. prior to his election to the u.s. senate, brown served as a u.s. representative for the 13th district of ohio. he has also served as a member of

got more after the 1876 event, congress passed a bill outlawing easter egg rolling on the capitol grounds. >> little kids will like this but you said the byproduct could have been some really stinky time. >> absolutely. once the white house took over in 1878, there was an interlude of one year where there was no eggroll. it was raining cats and dogs and nobody wanted. in 1877. once it moved to the white house rounds, you could smell the white house easter egg roll before he can see it. >> if they did not find some of the eggs and hard-boiled eggs were left, that created a problem. >> that was the problem. it was something that happened in the 20th century. the nixon administration decided to use a lot more real eggs and a few got misplaced shall we say for it while and that was the last time he did that. hayes and president his family decide they wanted to take over this tradition? >> the president was out on his daily walk and some schoolchildren covered him and he said that is odd. why don't you just come back with me and you can roll eggs on the white house grounds. a couple hundred ch

a long time look at all this stuff we passed over 500 bills here in the house since the first of this term. we've had the most productive congress house of represe representatives in decades the reason we've been able to pass all these bills is because it's unified i came in in 2015. we're so much more unified now that's one of the reasons i'm comfortable going. we have come together as a team. we've gelled we put together an agenda in 2016 we ran on it we're two-thirds of the way through getting it all done in law. so we've gotten so much of our work done. and because we're gelled, because we have a great leadership team that could have seamless transfer, that's why i feel comfortable doing this. something that i just feel obligated to do at this phase of life i'm in. and i'm happy. look i've gotten almost all that i wanted done done the only thing is the health care entitlements. enterprise zones, i worked on that when i was working for jack kemp so the critical component of our poverty fighting agenda, that's now the law of the land. rewriting the tax code, i've been working on that all my life that's now the law of the land

. >> there are some things we should have in the bill but i will is a to congress i will never sign aain,ly never do it again into suck. >> trevor: success when people make you do something you don't like. he's being forced to sign a bill he doesn't like and his big threat is he won't do it again. that's the kind of negotiating that left him stuck with eric and don, jr. in the divorce. is that what happened? fine, i'll take those weirdoes this time but next divorce i'm standing my ground! unfortunately, we don't have the time to talk about how trump promised to cut the deficit but spent money like lil' wayne at an outo of network dentist because the trump news that swallowed everything happened when the star of your sex dreams sat down with stormy daniels to discuss her alleged affair with donald trump. and my friends, it was creepy. >> you had sex with him? >> yes. it started off all about him. just talking about himself. he's, like, have you seen my new magazine? i said, somebody should spank you with it. around i said turn around and give him a couple of swats. since that, he quit

critics who have described these tax cuts as crumbs and said it's the worst bill in the history of the united states congress, this new bill couldn't have come at a better time. let me tell you again why. under the failed economic policies of the obama administration, nevadans suffered through eight years of historically low economic growth. think about this. in those eight years, the average economy growth was less than 2%. as a result, wages and workers suffered. job creation suffered. and the middle h class america suffered. it's been reported that nearly eight of ten americans who work full time are living paycheck to paycheck. and if you live in nevada, you're more likely to be living paycheck to paycheck than if you live anywhere else. whether it's a single mother who is taking classes to further her education to give her kids a good life or the police officer and teacher with four children in southern nevada who tell me they are barely getting by and that they are doing the best that they can. families in my state are trying to plan for their future, but they have told me that they are struggling. but

to act now to get this bill passed in the congress and signed into law. >> bill: here is the president's comment on that. congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal areas aggravated fellons, a public safety. house and senate must pass a fix to insure violent criminal aliens can be removed from our society. is congress ready to do that or not, sir? >> congress has to be ready for this. i put a lot of pressure on my leadership in conference to get this done. time is not on our side. the clock is ticking. i think with the supreme court decision now it puts a deadline on congress which congress has to have deadlines to act unfortunately. i'm pushing my bill very hard. >> bill: 40 minutes you have a hearing about the serial bomber in austin, texas. what did the boston bombing teach you how to catch him? what did you learn? >> you remember covering the boston bombing when i was first chairman. the oversight hearings. a lot of flags were missed. he was on the radar. the boston police commissioner knew nothing about the f

should be very clearly understood that with this bill, congress is authorizing a study and nothing else. no way is it authorizing any restriction on the public's use of this land while its study or because it's being studied. any further actions forthcoming from the result of this study is for the congress and the congress alone to decide. and with that very clear understanding, i support adoption of the measure and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california reserves his time. the gentlelady from hawaii. . ms. hanabusa: i would like to yield to the gentleman from florida and the author of the bill, representative soto. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida is recognized for as much time as he wishes to use. mr. soto: mr. speaker, i rise today to speak in strong support the bill, h.r. 3961, kissimmee wild river study act of 2016. i thank the chairman, the ranking member and chairman mcclintock and ranking member hanabusa and congressman webster for all their support on this important bill. the kissimmee river forms the headwaters

and congress, through this bill, would be saying, do it anyway. i should note that this bill also undermines one of our nation's other bedrock environmental laws. the national environmental policy act or nepa. by barring a host of actions that could potentially recover this region's salmon runs, which are currently, again, on the brink of extinction. the sponsor of this bill, and i -- and -- of this bill and do i agree on one thing, however. when talking about this bill representative mcmorris rodgers recently said dams and fish can co-exist and i too think that is possible. the debate here is not about dams versus no dams. the debate is about striking the appropriate balance between responsible hydropower development and sound fisheries protection. for too long there's been an imbalance. when we consider these issues. our country built thousands of dams in the 20th century before we realized the harm that can be caused to our nation's fisheries. so today we're left with many legacy low-value dams that don't justify their cost and their impacts to

mexican congress and to senators and congressmen, kennedy and mccain, who presented a deal to congress. that bill has been sitting there since 12 years ago. the answer to migration control -- we want order on our borders. of course, we mexicans want order and our borders. same as any other nation. but the way to go is not that. the big problem, and the next time you grant me -- it is migration. migration. this nation was built by immigrants. mexico and latin america were built by immigrants. and, against that, building nations with immigrants is the worst that can happen to the world. we say, those are evil people, those are not welcome nowhere. what is compassion? who thinks you can build a wall so high that the guys are desperate, running away from violence and war, like they end up doing now. they are going to jump any wall. that you could build. it is not the way to go. that is why i compare it with machiavelli. explore the argument about -- [applause] thank you. about competitiveness. i would like you to address the question about britain. britain has high taxes. that areas regulations domes
