congress in history, and the results are a dumpster fire. we are not getting our money's worth out of career politicians running the show now. congress is not very diverse. in majority of members of congress are lawyers and professional politicians. how does that qualify you to be an expert on health care or banking or so many other issues that congress is tasked with governing? if we went to term limits with a citizen legislature, we would get people from all walks of life, real subject matter experts that could come in and tackle these issues. the constant emphasis on reelection is very corrosive to congress. instead of getting policy expertise, instead of actually reading the 1000 page bills we hear about all the time on the news, they are busy campaigning. the average congressman spends five hours a day in a call center on a telephone begging for money from big donors so that they can get reelected or pay off their party to get a prime spot on the committee. that is a distraction from your job. host: when they run for reelection, they usually win. the reelection rate for those members of congress who ran for reelection was 91%. secrets.bers from open the senate is not quite as guarant

congress is not? what are you going to do? >> when the president declared national emergency this year, we were asking congress in january to give us more bed space. democrats in congress refused. congress continues, although speaker pelosi has indicated a willingness to look at a bill that would provide more humanitarian assistance over the next two weeks, we're going to look to get those resources as well as close loopholes, but look, we have asked for more bed space. we've asked for more support. our customs and border patrol agents are doing a job. but the system is overwhelmed. >> brennan: and the homeland security secretary has sat here in your spot and said this, crisis level, for a year. >> it is. it is. >> brennan: so how is the executive totally powerless to do anything about these unsafe, unsanitary conditions? >> well, we're doing a lot with what the congress has given us. but again, congress refused to increase the bed space in the last appropriations bill. they continue to delay efforts. >> brennan: so we just have to accept these conditions? >> no, absolutely not. it's one of the reasons why is president has taken the strong stand that he's taken on the

circumvent congress to put through an 8000000000 dollars arms bill to solve the now this is absolutely infuriated congress they indeed have struck back there are some 22 resolutions in congress waiting to go blocking u.s. relations with saudi arabia so certainly this is going to ratchet up the tension between the administration and congress congress absolutely insistent that there must be accountability a potion for the murder of jamal khashoggi now right at the beginning of this whole series of events the senate sent president trump a formal letter insisting that he investigate and apportion accountability for khashoggi is murder the president simply defied that he's never formally responded to that senator request now this latest report is likely to up the senate's efforts and congress as a whole to aid find out accountability for the murder of jamal khashoggi remembering of course that he was a u.s. resident but also intensify its efforts to block those arms sales to saudi arabia as a punitive measure certainly clear that there is a need for some kind of investigation the intense investigation indeed what about the u.n. once again more traction though no. well a possibly

congress. that's what ken starr did with the clinton investigation. remember those big boxes they brought over in a truck? they gave everything to congress. it was up to congress to do the redactions. we're perfectly capable as had representatives of the people of doing that ourselves. the testimony of key witnesses like white house don mcgahn who was allegedly told to special counsel mueller to fire the special counsel and then to lie about it later and to claim that it was because of trumped up conflicts of interest that had already been rejected by the department of justice. so there's a lot of stuff we're not getting. but in any event, this motion goes beyond the judiciary committee in conducting its legislative inquiries. so the oversight committee is trying to investigate the white house personnel office because ofcru of the security clearance process. there were 25 people who were denied their security clearance by the professional staff. then the professional staff was overruled by the president or his political attendants and they haven't said why. so we're trying to get what was the basis for the original deny of security clearance, which is extremel

congress. the next congress would be sworn in. so, this is something congress has been voting on for a decade to prevent that automatic cost of living adjustment from going into place, so that was not included in any of this pending bills that the house appropriations committee reported to the floor, so there's been a lot of debate about whether or not this is an appropriate thing to do. it seems like that is what led to them pulling that legislative spending bill from that package, but it could come up later on if there's some sort of an agreement that takes place. >> as you mentioned, one of the pieces of the initial package is the labor hhs and education spending measure. on the issue of abortion, you tweeted this, the hyde amendment and other abortion riders in the spending limelight, what's bringing them to the forefront. explain for us briefly what that hyde amendment says. ms. shutt: the hyde amendment has been around roughly for four decades. it is a provision that was offered by a congressman with and would prevent any federal funds from going to abort

congress, a congress more sympathetic to our approach to health care. steve: all right. ainsley: what do you think about what is happening in iran? iran is breaching unuranium stockpile limit? the limit they're allowed to have is 660 pounds of uranium. they said they would quadruple the productivity. they're not allowed to do that. >> we're squeezing them very hard. ainsley: with sanctions. >> with sanctions. the treasury department has done a excellent job of pursuing. that is why you see them striking out with these attacks on vessels in the persian gulf. the sanctions are really hurting. the president made the right decision backing out of the nuclear deal because it wasn't much of a deal and i think they're doing exactly the right thing in squeezing the iranians you there these sanctions. it is clearly having an impact which is why they're striking out. the president is not trying to start a war. he made it clear to everybody that he is not trying to start a war but these are measured responses to iranians acting out the way they always act out in the middle east with either directly or through surrogate groups killing people. i mean they manufactured the ieds that killed and maimed an awful lot of americans during the iraq war. dan: senator, you had your legacy on judges, president trump will be terrific with constitutional judges in the court. if another seat opens on the supreme court, will you push that through? >> absolutely. you know that the precedent people ignored back in 2016 when i made the decision not to fill the vacancy during the middle of a presidential election was who controlled the senate. dan: that's right. >> you have to go back to 1888 to find last time a senate from a different party from the senate confirmed a vacancy to the supreme court occurred during the presidential election. makes sense. we will still control the senate next year. if there is vacancy, we will fill it. steve: yesterday on "fox news sunday," chris wallace hosted the jon stewart, the comedian, who has been advocate for the 9/11 victims compensation fund. your name came up. i'm sure you heard about it. listen to this then we'll get your reaction. >> i want to make it clear this has never been dealt with compassionately by senator mcconnell. he always held out until the very last minute. only then under intense lobbying and public shaming as even daned to move on it. steve: why has it always seemed that the vote comes at the last minute? >> well, many things in congress at the last minute. we never failed to address this issue. we will address it again. i don't know why he is all bent out of shape we will take care of the 9/11 victims compensation fund. steve: i think he was shocked when he was appearing before that committee, i believe it was in the house, so few members showed up that day. >> well that frequently happens because members have a lot of things going on at the same time. it sounds to me like he is looking for some way to take offense. there is no way we won't address this problem appropriately. we have in the past. we will in the future. steve: it will be fully funded? >> right. ainsley: that's good to know. everyone hopes that. >> good to be with you.

moving on from articles to videos. >> you are right about that. this is something in the cyber-security and privacy industry we with been worried about. if you look at the mouth. artificial intelligence has a hard time parsing things out, the face, the tongue, the lip movements may look odd to how somebody normally talks. look and see if it's showing up on a trusted, vetted news website. look at multiple sources. look at small flashes of light. and when in doubt, play it on a bigger screen. sometimes i am per fissions don't show up on your smart phone but they will show up on a bigger screen. blake: the story about zuckerberg and priefe stated back to 2016. >> there have been several wake-up calls. it's like silicon valley has been hitting the news alarm. they are going to have to step out. saying you are pay me now for new things i do on an app is not enough. >> i hope congressake a page from europe and the privacy laws they institute. unfortunately small startups have been able to get into the game and the big tech companies have grown bigger. blake: big tech, a lot of big problems. a lot to get into over the years. teresa and patrice, thank you to you both. meantime, other news tonight. ford is recalling 1.2 million explorers in the u.s. that could result in reduced steering capabilities. ford says it knows of one case where a driver reported hitting a curb. questions about boeing's maxx8 continue. that model grounded worldwide in march following two fatal crashes. the faa the plane will resume flying quote only when it is safe to return to service. to the biggest college admissions cheating scandal in history. the sailing coach became the first person sentenced. he got 1 day in jail. he pled guilty or taking $770,000 in bribes which went to the sailing program and not to his personal bank account. nearly 400 people arrested in moscow for the apparent fram

congress. congress had been asking if you want to do something in iran, you have to come to congress because constitutionicans just blocked that. the voting had been drags on since before dawn and it's the longest vote in the history of that body. meantime, iran is meeting with our allies in other countries in vienna after president trump pulled out and guess what happened? i can read it to you. just came in in an urgent from the associated press. didn't make it into the script. i want to read this to you. it's breaking and new and important. britain, for instance and germany have a special trade channel up and running with iran that aims to circumvent sanctions. how do we know this? the european union send out a statement. the british, the french and the germans with iran to circumvent what america is doing because the british and the french and the germans think it's the exact wrong thing to do. iranian regime is warning this this could be the last chance to save the deal. ellison barber reporting live in jerusalem. ellison? >> shep, yeah, big developments with that statement coming from the e.u. iran

one of the fundamental things congress to is legislate, obviously, and in order to legislate, congress needs to be informed. the supreme court has said repeatedly that congress naturally won't know all it needs to know of its own devices and it needs to be able to ask other people, and to compel other folks for information to support its legislative work. and not just legislative work, but all of the other work it does. in the senate, it might need particular information to go about whether to confirm a nominee. obviously impeachment is talked about these days and that is a function of congress. in order to inform itself on those issues, it needs to be able to gather information. all of the other functions congress has. guest: i want to make one thing clear, i was appointed by speaker pelosi, but the house general counsel is a nonpartisan position. it represents the institution of the house and represents individual members both republican and democrat in any matter in which their official position is implicated. when i was there, i represented a number of republicans on issues that they had, legal issues that they were sued by third parties. we defended the

congress. congress has done nothing. and maybe it's time for trump to put tariffs on congress. maybe that's what it takes to get them to act. withhold their pay. >> shannon: seems like there has been a lot of bipartisan support for trying to get the bigger deals done with mexico and canada knowing they're our biggest trading partners and neighbors. as this plays out it looks like at least the mexican officials seem to comment it will move them closer to getting something done. now it's up to u.s. lawmakers. we'll see. rich & brad. this is a breaking story, good to see you both. the biggest stumble democratic frontrunner in biden's campaign yet. his flip-flop against federal funding for abortions. now he is for it. now a long time obama confidant is talking about it. >> they want to spin it as a different policy for a different time. it shows a soft underbelly to biden's envyable frontrunner status. a long record as a moderate democrat is potentially out of step with the 2020 primary voter. ask david axelrod, the man who helped senator obama crush biden in the iowa caucus. >> thi

congress sits on its hands, anything? >> the president has declared an emergency and congress has filed lawsuits and they have tied that up into the courts. i see the president doing everything you possibly can to alleviate the situation on the board. because of politics you as a people that are trying to throw roadblock up in front of them to embarrass him, if you will. and it could very well be one of those cases where they want to point the spotlight on this to try and embarrass the administration. there is no excuse for not having shower facilities. there is no excuse for not having toothbrushes, toothpaste and all of those different things. but if we don't have the money than we requiring agents to bring them in and frankly i've seen agents myself, we have given her own money and purchased these types of things for these individuals but frankly, there's just not enough of that going on. we are being put in an impossible situation because we cannot release them. we have to hold them but we do not have the proper facilities to hold them in. so i just don't know what can possibly be done if congress does not get up and act. soon a critically frustrating. we know the position that you are all in, it is impossible and just amazing the american people watching this, we are waiting for the government to do something one way or the other and to continue to fight with each other. so frustrating. brandon, thank you for coming on tonight. we appreciate it. >> becky prisco and up next the president asking new questions about joe biden. >> how president obama is not endorsing him is rather a big secret. it could be president obama knows something but there is something going on in that brain of his. melissa: that plus a new report detailing how middle-class joe is living a pretty lavish life. and a new one is tonight about the vulnerability of huawei's technology. we will take it all up after we will take it all up after these quick messages. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ of all the moments you share with your best friend, the greatest could be the moment you save her life. every second counts in cardiac

congress is not read by congress and half of your replies are being ignored by constituents. that's a definition of a system sorely in need of reform. the news is not all bad. members of congress deeply care about their constituents views. in cmf surveys of members of congress and congressional staff, meetings and views are the most important factors in shaping congressional opinion and understanding the impact of public policy decisions on the nation. the concept that the governing bodies of the nation is listening is a bedrock principal. by and large members are doing their best they can do listen to constituents. so kcongress and constituents believe in healthy own gau engagement. we recommend the following efforts. the rules should be updated as most communication directors are aware, had the rules were created when the printing press was the primary tool. they opportunity current press secretaries to examine and recommend changes. second congress should incentivize citizen engagement. the joint research that we did with colleges on online town hall meetings suggests that you can build trust through technology. third we should look at current clamps for creative solutions.

congress's pursuit of these tax returns? >> i think there is. i think the law is on congress's side. the big debate here between justice and congressce and treasury has said that this is a pretext. this request for the tax returns is not really part of congress's legislative oversight responsibilities. congress responds and says to the contemporarrary, it is very part of what we are endeavoring to do, to look at federal tax laws as it relates to political candidates and the existing president of the united states and that's the heart of the debate. is it pretext or is it legitimate? only courts can resolve that, but the law historically has favored congress without the court's second guessing congress's true intention, which is why i write that i think in the end congress wins. the problem is what is the timeline? how long does it take for this to get litigated. >> yes, you do make reference to the 1975 chief justice warren berger reaffirming the scope of congress's power of authority. it is a very important read for everybody. michael zeldin, thank you so much. thank you for being with me. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> up next,

congress was hearing. and individual show the opportunity to have outward anonymity but selling their real names with messages that were going into congress in a standardized way that could be processed. and i had this idea and i thought great, this is something congress should build. i asked city office who does that. i was told, in contrast to the architect of the capitol which exists to take care of the physical infrastructure, there was no infrastructure and no office to take care of of the digital infrastructure of congress in a bipartisan way. if you wanted to build something from house democrats, fine, for senate republicans, fine. but for the whole house, it didn't exist. i found a group of wed -- with geeks. we got together to think about how congress could use technology better. and you have heard from some of these folks in your hearings. a lot of the initiatives that have happened over the years have come out of those early conversations. so, i left the hill in 2010 to form pop box and that comes from voice of the people with my cofounders. and we build the system. we've delivered millions of messages and posted thousands of organizational positions. but, the fact you're holding this hearing means we didn't solve all the problems. we solve

congress. congress may try to hold the attorney general in contempt. there are even cracks among some republicans who feel trump might actually jeopardize our economy. could paul manafort be headed to riekers island? the latest reporting on the next charges that await him. and it all comes down to crowd size. donald trump claims thousands were in the streets of london supporting him. we will hear from our correspondent who was also in those streets as the 11th hour gets underway on a tuesday night. >>> good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. this was day 866 of the trump administration and while the president remains in the u.k., tonight here in the u.s. a familiar name from his administration is back in the news. perhaps because she started out as a student modeling for ralph lauren and then built a career that earned her the total of white house communications director at the age of 28, hope hicks was the subject of a lot of fascination, a lot of press coverage early on in the trump presidency. her name came up again during the investigation as she was called to testify based on all that she witnessed, all that she saw and overheard in that job. hope hicks is back in the news tonight because she has said no to a congressional subpoena because she was told to by the white house. hicks along with another woman annie donaldson, former chief of staff to don mcgahn have chosen not to cooperate with subpoenas from the house judiciary committee. the committee's chairman had requesteder materials from both women as part of his committee's investigation into possible obstruction and abuse of power by the president. they were due by 10:00 a.m. today. the committee got a letter from the current white house counsel who added that the former aides quote do not have the legal right to disclose the white house records to third parties. and that acting chief of staff to the president has directed them not to produce documents. chairman nadler responded with his own statement federal law makes clear that the documents we requested, documents that left the white house months ago are no longer covered by executive privilege, if they ever were. the president has no lawful basis for preventing these witnesses from complying with our request. hicks has already turned over some documents related to her time on the trump campaign. she faces another big test as she and donaldson have been summoned to testify before the judiciary committee in person. nadler was asked about that earlier today. [ inaudible question ] >> that was that. for now the latest white house move effectively blocks the democrats' access to some of the key witnesses related to the obstruction aspect of the mueller investigation. you may recall the white house also stopped don mcgahn from cooperating with a subpoena to submit documents and to testify. next week, the full house of representatives is scheduled to vote on holding him and attorney general bill barr in contempt of congress. barr has refused to comply with a subpoena for the full unredacted mueller report. the justice department asked the house call off the vote in respect to barr in exchanged for continued negotiations over the report. but tonight nadler rejected that overture. all of this has democrats now working overtime to find ways to convince this man, robert mueller himself in the flesh to testify. he has made it quite clear he has no desire to testify. some members of the house judiciary committee say it is time for chairman nadler to demand his testimony. >> he has to come before the committee. if he doesn't come voluntarily, that's the final determination he makes then i have confidence that the chireman will issue a subpoena and he will comply. >> that man, a democrat from rhode island is one of 12 democrats on that committee who are now in favor of opening an impeachment inquiry. in total 58 house democrats still just one republican are in favor of such a move. there is also news tonight in

congress. congress can't summon the president so he should not be able to summon his or her close advisers. it was never tested in court. one time it was, a federal judge ruled against it. what democrats are hoping to do is set a case in motion here. she's refusing to answer these questions. that'll take months in the best case scenario. >> do we know who's paying hicks' legal bills? the rnc was tied. >> no, i don't know the answer to that question. hope hicks is no longer as close to donald trump and the trump's orbit living as she is in los angeles as she has been before. the evidence the record shows the mueller report when confronted of these questions, she was not willing to answer them. she was not willing to commit perjury. congress want as public hearing with hope hicks having to answer questions under oath of what happened in those key moments in the oval office when trump was accused of obstructed conduct. they're not getting that right now because she's refusing to answer questions on obstruction in the white house. >> ken dilanian, thank you, our intelligence and security reporter. >> there is no leverage for her. >> the fact that congress agreed that she can testify in private, last i checked, their goal was to have these hearings in public so democrats could get more of the mueller report and seen and heard and presented. this does none of that. >> his sentence may not matter. >> that's because according to several reports, president trump is seriously considering pardoning, special operation chief, edward gallagher, he faces life in prison if convicted in murder. he's accused of shooting a male and a female iraqi civilians and attempted to kill other civilians back in may of 2017. >> steve patterson, walk

congress . >> so, ever since 2009, there's been a provision in one of the annual spending bills that says members of congress could not get what would be a typical cost of living adjustment. this isn't a pay raise because if congress give themselves a pay raise legally they can't get it until the next session of congress. so, this is something congress has been voting on for a decade to prevent the automatic cost of living adjustment from going into play so that was not included in any of this pending bills that the house appropriations committee but on the floor so there's been a lot of debate about whether or not this is an appropriate thing to do. it seems like that is what led to them pulling the spending bill from this package but it could come up later on if there's some sort of an agreement. >>reporter: as you mentioned one of the pieces of the initial package is the labor hhs and education spending measure work on the issue of abortion you tweeted this, the hyde amendment and other abortion riders in the spending limelight, what's bringing them to the forefront, explain briefly what that amendment says . >> the hyde amendment has been around roughly for for decades that the provision that was offered by a

hope hicks has turned down a subpoena from congress. congressd the attorney general in contempt. there are even cracks among some republicans who feel trump might actually jeopardize our economy. could paul manafort be headed to riekers island? the latest reporting on the next charges that await him. and it all comes down to crowd size. donald trump claims thousands were in the streets of london supporting him. we will hear from our correspondent who was also in those streets as the 11th hour gets underway on a tuesday night.

congress must take up its responsibility and fund the relief for this human tear crisis becaused by mexico's inability to act and caused by congressilure to reform our immigration laws. >> dana: you need a bed before you need a soccer ball indeed. >> amen. >> dana: can i just ask you one other thing? the measles outbreak, it is continuing to grow. the number of cases in the united states so far this year is 1001. last year it was less than 400 cases. what is hhs going to do to try to get people to vaccinate? >> this outbreak is entirely preventible. what's happened is we have some communities and populations and pockets here in the united states that have been susceptible to anti-vaccine and dis and misinformation. they've had very low vaccination rates. even though across the country we have good rates. we're working in those communities to educate just about how dangerous measles. 1 in 1,000 people will die. meaning we will probably see fatalities. we have vaccines that can prevent this disease. some of the most used and tested products in the history of pharmaceuticals. so this can work. you can protect yourself. you can protec

congress. congress has to give the word. we don't play with this kind of lethality. there is a reality associated with this lethality that we cannot imagine. we have no way of predicting what can happen if we use this ultimate form of militarier force. we obviously have it to defend ourselves, defend our allies, and i don't object to defensing the defensive nature of military action. but i am concerned if you send in this level of lethality because you are bluffing. so i'm calling on all americans to please pay attention to what's happening in the gulf region and i'm saying to my brethren, my sisters here in congress, friends, we are going to regret it if this level of lethality is being used and we did not exercise our duty, our obligation, a and our responsibility to review impeachment of this president. we are going to regret it. it happens. this is the ultimate in lethality, you don't send it because you're bluffing. it's time for us to do what we should do here in the congress, require an authorization to use military force. make sure that we play our role in this process. this is the congress. we declare war. don't let all of our authority to be usurped by the executive brarn. we -- blanch. we -- branch. we ought to have some sense of duty to do what the constitution requires of us. we see what's coming and we are going to regret it if this ultimate in lethality is utilized in this gulf region. for a bluff. that unfortunately was called. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair recognizes the gentleman from iow

congress to get this and do something to secure the border? >> so laura, that's the question. we've been sounding the alarm for a very long time that this is absolutely humanitarian and national security crisis. congress has failed to do their job. laura, it is unbelievable to me that we're still asking across the board what can congress do? when we've been telling congress, the experts living this every single day from ice to the border patrol, cbp. they need to pass meaningful legislation the flores agreement and they do find. fund bed space and this crisis ends tomorrow. they know what they need to development we've been telling them. they refuse to do what they need to do. >> laura: now, mark, we're learning even more about what yours and other agencies are doing for these migrants.

congress fill in the details essentially is what he's saying. paul: cam, none of us is the past been able to get the congress. congressouldn't pass this three democratic senate, it always seems to lose on the ballot. i guess that is one of the reasons he doesn't specify it but if you can't do those things had you get to his goals? >> well you can only do it through executive action. and this is of course, what obama did when he was there, when congress would not pass a bill for him, the house did it, it suffered enormously at the polls later that year, and so he turned in the end to his executive authority and your there were a lot of issues legal issues with that. he was challenged in court and i think one of the problems even if use really aggressive executive authority, he can't get anywhere near what joe biden has proposed. and it is one of the final issues of the plan. paul: all the candidates are piling on climate change. it seems i climate change now for the democrats is essentially required.and a big plan with a big number and a big goal and even zeroing out fossil fuels. which employs what is the figure now?

congress left it to the attorney general to determine whether sorna would apply retroactively at all. congress declined to make the initial decision as to whether any offender should be required to register. this was consistent with how congress had approached registration schemes in the past. congress had previously enacted registration legislation that conditioned state funding on requiring certain things from sex offender registries, and in each of these prior cases, congress had not made the law retroactive. and so there's nothing strange about congress doing this. as the court held in reynolds, it then gave the attorney general full authority to decide whether the law should be applied retroactively so the initial on-off determination, but then as well, how it should apply, which offenders should be included, if it should extend all the way back to 20, 30, 40 years. there was absolutely no guidance provided to the attorney general -- >> suppose the statute said that the attorney general shall have the authority to determine the application of this subchapter to preenactment offenders as public safety and fairness requires. would that be a violation of the non-delegation doctrine? >> yes, your honor, given the subject mat
