let me just start congressman gottheimer with the president's decision to set a deadline.elpful or can that sometimes deadline harm things? what say you? >> i always think lines are good to force action but, frankly, on this topic it's something we've been working on for months now in a bipartisan way and bicamera way, chuck. the talks we're having today and in just a few minutes are a continuation of that dialogue. i'm grateful for people like ryan fitzpatrick, my co-chair here, former fbi agent, for the insight he brings to the table every day and i'm optimistic if we work together, we'll get somewhere. >> congressman fitzpatrick, in negotiations like this, it's easy to see the compromise if everybody wants to get there. so i want to start there. i take it everybody in the room wants to get there. do you believe if everybody in the room wants to get there, that the politics, maybe the campaign operatives will stay out of it and let it happen? >> we have to. that's our job. that's what josh and i believe in. that's what our caucus believes in. you've got to go show, polit

i want to introduce to you congress josh gottheimer a leader of the problem solveers from new jersey -- solvers from the state of new jersey. >> first thank you so much, governor hogan, for having us and first ladies. joe is right about the crab cakes and you are giving them as a parting gift. i want to thank the bipartisan group that came together and house of the problem solvers who are here to find a bipartisan way for the infrastructure portion. they just released are new bipartisan infrastructural proposal and it was headed up by the problem solveers working group and the leaders and i want to thank them and problem solveers who the democrats and problems 29 democrats and 29 republicans with us. i also mentioned connor lamb. the report helps us focus the scope of bipartisan infrastructure. what -- there are three legs how to focus to start the agreement down. then we will have to look at two other pieces. what should it cost and how do we pay for it. it will be an ongoing conversation but the first portion of the scope which was such a big part of the discussion is so critical.

ryan: one of those ideas that folks like josh gottheimer have put forward as they want the state and local tax deduction returned. they even have a slogan now. no salt, no vote or whatever it is. what is the white house's view on salt? ron: restoring the salt the duction is not a way to pay for the planted i have -- pay for the planted we want to -- we under kant -- we understand the concern it i want to hear how they would pay for the deduction. we know that to pass this bill, we are going to need a broad range of support. we are going to try to put that together in the weeks ahead working with democrats, republicans to try to find the votes. that is the process that got the american rescue plan past. we are going to go through an effort, hopefully this time a more bipartisan effort to pass this much needed investment in america's future. ryan: most republicans in the senate if you are on the hunt for senate republicans, they voted in 2017 to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21. many of them believed that a strong economy followed those tax cuts and the results of that vote. yo

brian: yeah, by the way, it's not just your opinion as we go back to you congressman gottheimer, theut and said that he said the mixed message from the biden administration has sent a lot of his citizens into our country thinking you can get here and you can stay here. so, now, if they want to apply for asylum, is it true that you might recommend together that they do it in the country they are in or the first one they touch, correct? >> well, you know, one of the ideas we are talking about and i think this takes a comprehensive solution. there is no one-off answers here but clearly you have got do more processing before you get to in home countries before you get to the border. i think that will discourage people from all come up. and, more importantly, stop the cartels from really running what the border agents say is a larger business now than the drugs, right? because they're getting paid so much money to move people up, including young children. that's the heart-breaking side of this, right? so many young people who just want to come to the greatest country in the world for bett

started right after march 3 in the house with the problem solvers caucus under the leadership of josh gottheimerte stauber, and other members. so they started off bipartisan. and we do have certain issues that are difficult such as qualified immunity and reducing the requirement to prosecute an officer. so right now, we see case after case where an officer is involved in a shooting or something else that resulted in great bodily injury or death, and then we will see a d.a. not even prosecute, not even bring charges. that's because the bar to bring charges is so high, officers are rarely prosecuted. and then they don't have to worry about having any civil liability, which is why you saw derek chauvin look at the camera while he was murdering george floyd. so that's what we need to address. that's a difficult area that we're trying to grapple with right now. >> any progress? >> yes, i think there's significant progress. as a matter of fact, i feel very confident that we're going to get a bill, a bipartisan bill on president biden's desk within the next few weeks. >> that would be something, the na

conversations started right after march 3rd in the house with the problem solvers caucus under gottheimerrtain issues that are difficult such as qualified immunity and reducing the requirement to prosecute an officer. so right now we see case after case where an officer is involved in a shooting or something else that resulted in if great bodily injury or death, and then we will see a d.a. not even prosecute, not even bring charges. that's because the bar to bring charges is so high, officers are rarely prosecuted. and then you don't have to worry about having any civil like it which is , in the next few weeks. >> thanks. that will be something the nation would certainly like to see that. as you know, president biden will address a joint session of congress tomorrow night to mark his first 100 days in office. you will win the lottery. you're one of the several dozen or hundreds of members who will actually be in the crowd there. he is expected to speak about police reform. speaker pelosi did invite me to attend. i want to hear president biden really tell the congress that he wants a bill

congressman josh gottheimer of new jersey, he was one of the most vocal, listen. >> the average saltict i know this effect all of our districts was more than $24,000 in 2017. and so on a $10,000 cap, taxes went up for the families in my district i represent not down and has had a major impact on the cost of living in northern new jersey and sent a lot of people and jobs packing for other states. especially for the red states or moocher states that stuck us with the tax bill in 2017. >> now, there is an irony here the items who generally support higher taxes and spending don't support it in this case even though it impacts wealthier earners because it contributed to an exodus from their states. but some democrats do say salt should stay and infrastructure should pass like aoc who said this: i don't think we should be holding the infrastructure package hostage for 100 percent repeal of salt especially in the case of a full repeal. personally, i can't stress how much that i believe that is a give away to the rich. well the white house has been careful not to give its hand away on this i

in the house, democrats karen boss and josh gottheimer. they have the blessing of congressional leadership from previous conversations happening more informally between karen bass and tim scott. this comes one day after president biden gave the effort a significant boost by calling on congress to pass police reform by may 25th, the first anniversary of george floyd's death. interestingly, president biden did not lay out red lines about what exactly it's supposed to include. the reason for had a is democrats have passed their george floyd policing bill through the house of representatives, but in the senate, they do not have the ten votes needed to break a filibuster. that's where the negotiations come in. tim scott is seen as someone who has the juice to bring republicans along. we will be watching to see where these negotiations go. >> a lot of people will be. you know you will keep us posted. >>> let me bring in eddie glaude. it's so great to see you. thank you for being with us. we have a lot to talk about. can i start with what just ha

gottheimer: thank you. madam speaker i'm honored to rise in support of the bipartisan senior security act which will help protect vulnerable seniors in hucksters and scam artists. i would like to thank my good friend, congressman tre' hollingsworth, for working with me on this bill and also to senators sinema and gillibrand who introduced companion bills in the senate. at thed on they have day seniors can afford to stay in northern new jersey and enjoy their lives with friends, children and grandchildren. unfortunately, far too many of our seniors have their savings stolen from them when a scammer calls or shows up at their door. millions have been victims of financial scams and abuses. it's appall, offensive and unacceptable. older more thans lose $3 billion each year to scams an abuse. approximately seven million americans have been victims of abuse and exploitation and that's only what gets reported. i.r.s. impersonation calls and fraudulent tech support calls are among the most widely used an costly sca

continue to go along with things if this is going to hit their constituents so hard we have josh gottheimern later on we will talk to him about this what are you hearing about the rumblings on capitol hill about this >> reporter: i think there is a lot of consensus in the democratic party where the top rate should be and that capital gains should be treated as ordinary income. the s.a.l.t. debate is a separate question. to the point you have been making, the combined effective rate, would be extremely high. the other argument that the democrats make, there are other taxes that apply to ordinary income as well including the payroll tax. we are not adding that up in our calculation of how much a middle income earner might make investment incomes has been un unique it wasn't subject to other taxes. once you add in the obamacare surcharge, there is a penalty to investment income. there are other taxes taken out of ordinary income democrats argue. that is part of the problem. workers and investment have not been treated the same. >> i understand we need to pay for things se the senator is coming

josh gottheimer, top democrat on problem-solvers caucus wants the administration consider alternatives to a corporate tax hike. the white house is making the case possible 28% corporate tax rate would be significant improvement to where things stood versus in 2016. listen here to the president. how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ the lexus es, now available with all-wheel drive. this rain is bananas. lease the 2021 es 250 all-wheel drive for $339 a month for 39 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. so you're a small business, all-wheel drive for $339 a month for 39 months. or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down,

josh gottheimer from the problem solvers. all of these folks have been working together and talking, and i do think that the will is there. and certainly the verdict is an inspiration, but you know, jonathan, i'm not going to relax until the sentence happens because the rare times there are guilty verdicts, then i don't want to see a slap on the wrist. i want to see maximum time spent behind bars. >> in a town where negotiations rarely happen and when such a contentious issue, there's such polar opposites when it comes to the parties, hearing you, that last answer, actually makes me even more hopeful today than i've ever been that the george floyd justice in policing act can actually become law. congresswoman karen bass of california, thank you very much for coming back to "the sunday show." >> thanks for having me on, jonathan. >>> joining me now, congresswoman val demings of florida who also served as the orlando chief of police. congresswoman demings, thank you for coming to "the sunday show." >> great to be with you, jona
