go to tim in arkansas on the independent line. good morning, tim. caller: good morning. good morning to you and c-span. likewise. i'm a longtime listener. rather than critiquing the other callers, you quoted your "washington post" story. and the reason why news organizations put out stories that really have no basis and fact or you can call them fake news, they want to fill their pages but they don't want to tell you certain things. here have only of the stories they're avoiding. e, all the illegal taps to illegal unmasking and they will legal leaks. they're not covering that story. nobody's being prosecuted for it. and the other story that body's covering is how remarkable it was on the very same day we learn that comey may have had memos on trump. well you have to think comey's also got memos on obama and clinton. so the very same day we find out 's got memos, now you have a special counsel. the -- and we never found out at comey had on hillary or obama. and if i could interject one more, ali obama came in with his 40 thieves and got us all hooked on the opium that is free stuff, entitlements from the governme

all the reconstruction of body parts that people have to go through in these countries, and we don't care. obviously, and i listen to c-span -- and it is wonderful because i get all the different people all over the united states -- unfortunately, and i'm sorry to say this, but i hear a rhetoric thatuth i heard when i was a child. i am hearing it all over again, and i was a child of the 1960's. very disappointing what i hear. all i hear right now is war, war, kill, kill. host: let's give andy a chance to respond. guest: i think inside the pentagon, people are cognizant of what is taking place in these very difficult campaigns. what we in the press have been of the that despite sort drama that is taking place in washington with the administration, the pentagon is working overtime to remain apolitical and not get bogged down or persuaded by what is playing out in the press about the administration. point about the president, i guess getting credit for bombings and so on and so forth, i would say that the media is also scrutinizing the military pretty closely as well, and has been, not only for the last four months since the

and a reminder, with most of our hearings, if you miss any of it you can go to the c-span video library and do a search in the video library search bar. in this particular case you would type house transportation committee to find it and you can watch it in its entirety. also, we will reair the entire hearing tonight on the c-span network. it will resume in a couple of moments. just to let you know the house rules committee will be meeting this afternoon to mark up the $1.1 trillion spending bill due over the weekend. scheduled to come to the floor later this week. we will have live coverage starting at 3:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span3. a couple of tweets to pass on to you very quickly. president trump tweeted this morning about the agreements -- the federal budget agreement. he tweeted the reason for the plan negotiated between republicans and democrats is that we need 60 votes in the senate which are not there. we either elect more republican senators in 2018. or change the rule to 51%. the country needs a good shutdown to fix the mess. >>> everybody get settled in, thank you very mu

would you say to the american people as names -- >> you can watch the res of this online just go to our c-span video library, c-span.org. live here on c-span 3, a sub house committee hearing people who remain in the u.s. with expired visas. speaking now, martha mcsally, the chairman of the sub committee. >> but the numbers are stark. cpb calculated that we had nearly 740,000 people overstay their visas at some point in fiscal year 2016. even using cpb's more generous numbers that account for some of those overstays who eventually leave, albeit late, we had almost 630,000 overstays still in the country at the end of last fiscal year. over more time as more and more

going on in america. then he has time to come on c-span and talk about it also. it's kind of like, it's a little bit much, and i want to mention also about -- host: well, i'm going to have the congressman respond to that, because there are those out there that feel that they characterize this as a witch hunt. guest: sure. host: there is a president who has said it himself. guest: greta, we have to trust somebody. and the intelligence community of the united states unanimously concluded that the russians did, in fact, try to interfere in our election, did so brazenly and in multiple ways. so the truth of the matter is the facts have essentially been established that there was this effort. we don't know in every regard how they did that, part of why we're investinging this. but it seems inarguable at this point, irrespective of what the president is saying in his own self-defense, it's pretty clear on the basis of the investigation to date on the basis of the investigation that has been revealed by the intelligence community, this happened. we're never going to be a

to where obama did his community organizing. >> host: rebecca is in warrior, alabama. good afternoon. go ahead. >> caller: thank you, mr. younge and thank you, c-span. i wanted to let you know from my perspective of listening to what people have said is that we need to go back a step. it needs to start in the home, like you said, that a lot of times these guns are not even secure in their own home place. when i was growing up, i was trained at 8 years old how to handle a gun, what gun safety was, what guns did, what the effect of you and the consequences of using a gun were and how sacred life was and that you did not ever, ever point a gun at a person unless you were intending to kill them. so, that thing has to be sent out. that message has to go out to our children as we are raising them to have a respect for guns and we don't see that and i think that is a lot of why you have suicides and everything else that is going on, mr. younge. >> host: rebecca, are you a gun owner today? >> guest: -- >> caller: -- yes, i have always been a gun owner. >> host: thank you, ma'am. gary younge? >> guest: yes, one of the boys in the book, his father has a gun,
