whitney i had compared the way his sort of methods of doing this he compared freedom house rating of political rights for twenty fifteen then to the u.s. government's provision of military assistance military training military aid and weapons sales to these foreign nations and twenty fifteen so what he gets is these numbers that the united states has given in a low estimate around eight billion dollars to foreign dictators. and what's interesting about this whole point with that i think people should know is that the numbers are coming from a place with bias really but not in the way that you would think it's in a bias that actually should be against what what's being said there so he used an annual report called the freedom in the world report describing in it his opinion for the best source for a comprehensive list of dictatorships and frees societies but what he pointed out about freedom house is that it is an independent organization has a very pro-u.s. ruling class by is. i take to be someone. conservative they're going to say sides of the same. and you know they want to call yo

it's tragically what we expected using a combination of official government documentation and freedom house's annual global report on political rights and civil liberties mr whitney. discovered that in twenty fifteen just two short years ago the united states gave military aid training and assistance to thirty six of the world's forty nine dictatorships that's over seventy three percent of. you know i really do i think it's time for those of us here in the united states of america to ask ourselves just what kind of freedom are we truly spreading as we start watching the hawks. as a part of. you that i got. this . week. or the watching the hawks i am tyrell been to russia and on top of the list so what do you think that we're spreading democracy around the world well. and that's a much deeper existential question that i'm not sure we can answer and twenty eight minutes on this show but this is why we need to have that deep existential crisis so what are we really spreading and who are we spreading to the us and that's where these numbers finally have to make everybody question what worse exact

and to add to that the house freedom caucus are now supporting the president's plan. so basically everything that the president is proposing is designed to help grow the preconomy. and the only thing i would add

it's tragically what we expected using a combination of official government documentation and freedom house's annual global report on political rights and civil liberties mr whitney had discovered that in twenty fifteen just two short years ago the united states gave military aid .

we're joined from boston massachusetts but the former executive director of freedom house and has workedxtensively with students helping them with their daca applications. thank you for being with us, we appreciate it. of course, you understand the plight of these students, you've helped many of them. so how will these nearly 800,000 people be affected if president trump announces the daca program will come to an end. >> first of all, thank you for having me. there is close to 800,000 undocumented immigrants right now protected in the action that was enacted by obama in 2012. these are some of the best immigrants we have in the country. they have been able to contribute. about 12% of those 800,000 have been able to buy homes. 54% of those have found a better job. about 60% of those have been able to buy a car for the first time. so it is clear how daca has allowed the students to contribute to our economy and our way of life. i think the main thing here is they're either working or studying through daca. so if daca is ended it will affect the daily lives and the lives of their family and

i do think you are going to see the freedom house freedom caucus come together with some of the moderate democrats to pass something. this is something, economic growth and jobs is really the center piece for what the republicans stand for. >> i agree with that statement. obviously tax cuts this is what the president has been focused on it always brings republicans together in the end if they don't get it through this calendar year maybe they can do it in january or february. still will see what effect it has on the real economy. even if they get it through i'm struck looking at the last few weeks in alabama, it's not going to stop the civil war but as you say the civil war may not be bad, you could have a healthy debate, don't know if it produces senators like moore in alabama is good for the future of the republican party for conservativism but i guess people are under estimating what this next year will look like. we have not seen this spectacle of majority party in congress having this kind of fight across the board, nevada, arizona, missouri, you name it. >> two things i want to sam

think of the deal is tough to swallow for the conservatives in the house freedom caucus. >> certainly not the best optio option. typical washington, d.c., kick the can down the road. >> not just republicans in the house who have issues, senator ben sasse says "the pelosi-schumer-trump deal is bad." when reports surfaced that the leadership would help deliver votes in exchange for a short debt limit height, senator orrin hatch lashed out. >> it's total b.s. shows that democrats are not serious legislators. >> emergency agency spending money responding to harvey. they seemed pleased with any deal to keep funds coming. >> it's important that as we move forward on fixing the problems that we work collaboratively between the executive and congressional blanch. >> mitch mcconnell says he understands why president trump gave democrats a win. stiglitz feeling was we needed to come together to not create >> nfeeling was we needed to a picture of divisiveness the time of genuine national crisis. >> even though it was chuck schumer's idea, mcconnell says he will offer and vote for a three-month

house conservatives, and they certainly stand on principle. they know how to hold things up. you have some senate conservatives who also feel the same way as the freedom caucus in the house. i think we will see a fight on this down the road. we will be looking at probably a billionntually of $125 or $135 billion. conservatives, and they have good reasons, are going to want that to be as lean as possible to not have things they will object to. host: before this president trump threatened to shut down the government if he does not get money for his boardwalk. he has backed away from that. what happened there? guest: i think we are seeing his new chief of staff, general john kelly, increasingly playing a role behind the scenes. we are seeing the present himself -- present himself and his own party saying there is plenty of time to provide money for the order wall. -- order wall -- border wall. this would be the president himself backed by immigration hardliners, but that is not as big a group on capitol hill as you may think. there is no evidence that speaker ryan and leader mcconnell will not just shut down the government over a chunk of money to start

we know the house freedom caucus does support the broad outline of this plan which is a big victory for the president as he steps up to the stage in indiana. he's going to want to make sure the republican party fully supports this because he is going to be seeking a couple of democratic votes and get them to support this plan and it may be if they have two, move pieces closer to what the democratic party will be happy with. >> jon: joe donnelly is a democratic senator representing indiana, curiously that is where the president is going to make this big announcement today. what are you hearing from the hill, are any of them inclined to get on board? >> the house problem solvers caucus has 23 republicans and 23 democrats, they've already met with the secretary of the treasury on tax reform months ago, they have been a part of these discussions. it is not really been the same way on the senate side, all the three democratic senators signed a letter behind the stipulations, that it had to be revenue neutral and couldn't favored the wealthy. those senators that are available are the ones tha

. >> arizona congressman trent franks working for the house freedom caucus, listening to the congressman i am reminded of the wind a billion here, a billionaire, pretty soon talking about real money. you have stood up to the president before the house freedom caucus have been willing to stand up to the president before. it appears that the one tax reform he is willing to sacrifice at least some pretty significant conservative principles to get a deal done. is that a compromise you are willing to make as the gentleman before you seem to indicate? >> first, let me just express a word of gratitude to the gentleman before me. he has said some things i thought were pretty powerfully said. i also was encouraged he pointed out this president has a get it done attitude. he's got more business than many president in recent history. it's important to keep in mind that almost no matter what we do to this tax code, this tax code taxes people did back then than it taxes then again when they die. three times the size of the bible. the statutory language. trade three congressmen, there is no argument t

the illustration they pointed to was the house freedom caucus, because when the framework was released earlier this week, the house freedom caucus came out and gave a glowing endorsement of it. that is not what we saw when the health care debate was happening. the they are seeing that as a positive step forward when you talk about things like this -- the state and local tax deductions, it has been said it is up for negotiation. the president stayed away in his address this afternoon from giving specifics on how to pay for it because they are pushing off that to the tax-writing committees to build that cohesion appear on capitol hill. whether or not they can do it, i will be visiting for the next couple of weeks trying to figure it out. scarlet: or take the blame if they can't. kevin cirilli joining us from capitol hill. let's get you a check now on the first word news this afternoon with mark crumpton. trump wellhead to asia in november. the white house announced today the president will visit japan, south korea, china, vietnam, and the philippines. it will be president trump's first v

the the freedom caucus, conservatives in the house are tied to that. that exploiting this working people who lost their house has business as usual in washington are getting an 18 month increase debt limit. that we can't afford. we don't have. it doesn't make any sense. if for some sort of technical reason, it would be very, very small. couple billion dollar increase of the debt limit. of course nobody would have that. i completely disagree with the secretary mnuchin that in order to deliver relief to the people of houston people of texas and louisiana, which we have is a want to do, that an 18 month increase of our nation's debt limit makes absolutely no sense. >> chris: he clearly was pushing that line today and he a couple times invoke president trump to make it clear that the president wants a clean debt limit tied into disaster relief. you say you been talking to the head of the house at freedom caucus, will they oppose that? >> i think they will. they clean debt limit increase doesn't matter what is attached to. why is it that 100 years ago, amer

best shot to -- these taxes done is host: where do as far as the side, se on the house where have members of the freedom caucus, conservative house, stand on not only providing aid for harvey victims, but passing clean needs minus debt ceiling, minus paid for or kind of matters? early when i discuss that on in the interview here, who are objecting to this strategy, caucus.he freedom be prepared to see pretty much all that vote against this kind maneuver. they have historically had the debt limit debate separately and historically in corresponding spending cuts. host: we'll see this today, the starts today, will we see vote today? when is that expected to happen? guest: yes, the house expected to take the first vote today. will not likely come until friday because of pauldural tactics, senator are likely to use. talking abouthor, $8 billion in hurricane harvey open up today. thank you for your time. guest: thank you. the president travels to north dakota today, to a speech to give talking about larger topic of tax reform. stay close to our website at c-span.org, not only activity of the house and senate,

when i interviewed the house freedom caucus chairman yesterday, he predicted there would be a "rebellion" should the republicans not get their act together in december. we are going to be talking a lot in theth megan murphy munster, about paul ryan's political future if there is not a major win -- in the months to come about paul ryan's political future if there is not a major win for republicans in december. trump with donald starting to blame him to get the replacement health care bill, reform, this will affect the agenda. have we learned the lessons to get tax reform through? kevin goa no, i don't think they have. -- kevin: no, i don't think they have. secretary mnuchin has said they have tried to correct course on health have care reform to leare right lessons, but point blank, when the speaker is pushing for revenue net neutrality, which is a nonstarter for many of these groups, that is more of a battle line than the border tax that the speaker lost out on. this is just all beginning to get good. megan: you know, irma is coming and we will see how they respond. that is what the amer

"the wall street journal" had a piece in it signed by the chairman and former chairman of the house freedom caucus, who admitted they were doing exactly i said they were doing. they are holding back their votes on budget resolution until they approve taxes. jim jordan and mark meadows, house freedom caucus will gladly start process for voting for budget red solution if we're confident that the tax plan will cut taxes. you need to tell us what personal rates are, corporate rates, repatriation rate, how you treat small business. we get to see the plan in advance and decide whether or not it actually is what we want before we vote for the budget resolution. show us a tax plan and we will gladly vote to pass a budget. so they're doing exactly what i said they were doing, we'll with hold our votes from voting for the republican budget resolution unless and until you let us have veto power over the tax bill. melissa: yeah. >> pass the budget resolution. if you don't like the tax bill. vote against it. don't leverage everybody else. melissa: karl, i always get nervous when you get your ouija board

so you been talking to the house freedom caucus. while they oppose that?ink they will first of all. there is a clean debt limit and it doesn't matter what it is attached to. you have to go back to first principles. why is that 100 years ago america voluntarily decided to put a debt limit on ourselves? and it makes sense to have a smoke alarm in the fiscal house. when a smoke alarm goes off, everyone agrees we need to raise the debt limit but you should also start taking the types of steps necessary to make sure that our children and grandchildren do not suffer under debt that they cannot afford to pay. >> not only is that going to be a big issue here in washington this week but what will happen with disaster relief and another issue is daca. the president promised to enter this program which protects hundreds of thousands of so-called dreamers from deportation. but as president he has made it clear he is struggling with this. >> this is a difficult subject for me. i will tell you. to me is one of the most difficult subjects because you have these incredibl

house conservatives, and they certainly stand on principle. they know how to hold things up. and you have some senate conservatives, who also feel the same way as the freedom caucus over in the house. so, i think we will see a fight on this down the road. at,re going to be looking probably coming a bill, eventually of $125 billion, $135 billion. the conservatives are going to, and they have some very good reasons, they are going to want that to the as clean as possible, and there are going to be things they are going to object to. president trump threatened to shut down the government if he did not get money for his border wall. he has backed away from that. what is the story there? we are seeing his new chief of staff, retired general john kelly, increasingly playing a role behind the scenes. this would be, the president himself forcing a shutdown. even members of his own party say, there is plenty of time to provide funding for the border .all they say there is this insisted -- this work already going. so the president would be backed by some conservative immigration hardliners, and that is not as big of a group on capitol hill as you might think. there

supporters of donald trump within congress, like representative mark meadows, who's the chair of the house freedom caucus, have said, oh, absolutely we're going to pass money for hurricane harvey relief, but that doesn't mean we have to tie it to donald trump's border wall funding. so i don't think the president is necessarily going to be able to rise on the coattails of harvey relief in the way that he seems to have calculated that he can. >> david jolly, it looks like a legislative hurricane coming for the house republicans, senate republicans in september. what are they going to do? >> yeah, lawrence. this is personal for me. i served on the appropriations committee before i was in congress. i was on staff. i've lived through katrina and ivan on all of these relief packages. in september we have three issues. we have the debt limit increase, which is separate from the end of year funding, september 30th, which is separate from flood insurance reauthorization at the end of september. so all those have to be resolved, and what we are wrestling with, and while this is not a time to really talk pol

the house freedom caucus, their allies say they like it. but this was the candy, all the good news. the actual legislation is going to have all the broccoli. let's see what that is and how it progresses. it's certainly probably going to fall apart many times before it can come together. this is a republican party in control of washington and this is a tax cut. this should be the easiest thing they are able to do. and that is why i think there is so much political momentum behind this, because -- particularly following that failure on health care, the sort of psychology of capitol hill is, man, if we can't pass a tax cut, we are in trouble. >> although, jeff, maybe the confirmation of jeff gorsuch, they need this. >> no question. every republican needs to go back to their districts and say, look we at least did this. but i think my big question is, as i sit and watch all of this, what will the president's involvement in this be? there's not an easy answer to that. some on the hill would like him to just sort of stay out of it, because when he gets involved in the details of this, it

representative meadows, the leader of the house freedom caucus, and democratic congressman jim langevin introduced companion legislation in the house. again, why is the freedom caucus strongly behind this bill? well, they are behind this bill because they want to preserve states' elections. they want to preserve the rights of states to have their own elections. they are concerned enough because they have looked at the intelligence reports that this next election could blow it all up. are we going to look back at it again, people who hold this up, peoples whose names will be revealed? will they say oops, i guess we made a mistake. it's going to be on their hands. it's going to be on their hands. this is the moment to do it. i repeat. reneed to get the authorization in place so we can get the grant money out to the states so that they can upgrade their election equipment. dozens of former republican national security officials are pushing for the senate to pass this amendment. they have written op-eds, called their representatives, and worked to inform the public about the need to take ac

aid for hurricane harvey should be attached to an increase in the federal debt ceiling both the house freedom caucus and the republican study committee seem to be opposed to the plan to raise the debt limit for more on this we're joined tonight by former congressman jim moran jim good to have you with us tonight the republicans love to use the term offsets are we in offset territory here i haven't heard him say too much about that so the question is how big a fight is this disaster aid going to be in congress well they've been taking offsets for years there's no more money to offset increased spending. and they're only asking for less than eight billion dollars they're going to need as you just said about one hundred eighty billion and yet they're not sure they can get the eight billion that they're asking for currently they are afraid that the only way to get it is to add it to the debt ceiling which is going to make it all the more difficult to get through the right wing republicans in the house i mean these representatives that were opposed to sandy relief you know cruz is one of them now

dave brat of virginia who is part of the house freedom caucus, the very conservative group in the house, he said that he thinks that the wall absolutely is something that needs to be an important part of border security and he says that the whole election was essentially about the wall. >> well, i don't think he's on base with reality. any way, let me ask you about the one thing i ails ask about. it breaks the heart of the people that deal in generalities. will they get enough votes to get through the house? will they get a vote in the house on this proposal to codify enshrine is the word, daca? >> i think they'll absolutely be able to get the votes if the president sticks to his negotiating tactics and decides that he wants to allow the democrats a large role in figuring out what this legislation actually has inside of it. now people i've talked to say that muck connell is open to the idea that the president is going to play point on this. but the president doesn't have a lot of experience when it comes to crafting actual policies. so essentially what comes to the house floor is going

caucus. -- -- house freedom caucus. there's one big question, i never heart of this happening in american history, their big question was, would you please promise us that if we pass this bill in the senate, you promise us you will not take up our bill and pass it as it is. because the only chance we have, we were told, of passing this bill in the senate is if we know for sure it won't become law. now, i've never heard of that happening before. but that's what happened this summer. and from our speaker on down, our different groups, yes. we promise you, we won't let that bad bill, your -- bad bill you're voting on become law. we'll make sure it goes it conference and we'll get something a lot better than that -- it goes to conference and we'll get something a lot better than that. but it didn't get passed and we have until september 30 to keep from being about as big a bunch of liars as has ever been in congress. that's it. and i'm very grateful, again, here i appreciate the appropriation committee, and i'll express app
