house democrats in these bills block the trum administration title 10 domestic gag rule and put domestic rights. republicans are playing political games with the crens us. democrats are investing billions to ensure every voice and vote is counted. there wasn't a dry eye in the room a few minutes ago when skip gates was talking about finding grandfather's at voter registration card from 1867 and the noticeable thing about that was that was the last number of john lewis' family to vote until the work he did crossing that edmund pet is bridge and all the work and as john broke down in our caucus we can't help but think the h.r. 1, the protections we have put in for voting rights that are being held up in the senate and that that is the most important connection that we have to making sure that our democracy continues to thrive is to protect that vote for every single american. president trump has proposed cuts to medicaid and medicare, a direct contrast to what he promised the american people he would do as president of the united states. we have protected those programs and made investment

now, house democrats are building on that progress with the securing america's federal elections act.t takes decisive action to secure our federal elections from outside interference and rings our security into the 21st century. makes investments to upgrade the security of voting systems across the country by replacing outdated voting machines, requiring paper ballot voting systems and enacting strong security requirements for vendors and voting systems. represents a critical step to safeguarding our infrastructure and protecting the ballot and the democracy. the president actively invites foreign interference and refuses to hold russia accountable. house democrats will continue to to defendoath we take america's security against all threats both foreign and domestic. as american families across the country prepared to celebrate our nation's independence this fourth of july, we call upon mitch mcconnell and the senate to join with house democrats and pass these bills. together, we can and must defend our national security. this july 4 recess house and senate democrats will launch a we

heeould b impeached by democrats in the house. would not be convicted in th senate he could then say, i was vindicated and the democrats overreach and spent their time in this rather than dealing with the country. robert: don mcgahn could be in the battle. is there more on the intent front? >> it's not just mueller who is the blematic witness for house democrats or a nonexistent witness for them. it mcgahn a number of former white house officials that they do not want 100 miles of a hearing room. you know the democrats have approached the problem with the notion ow, you k we need a high profile hearing if it's mueller or mcgann or someone else - we need mcgahn oromeone else, we need live tv. they're searching for a witigss. and now they don't have one. robert: to gerry's qstion, does the white house want impeachment proceedings for 20? yamiche: they are having meetings about ieachment. white house aides have been telling us that it might help him win back the house. i've been talking to sources inside therump campaign and they say

house democrats did allow an amendment to go up for debate last night and the amendment was offered by conservative steve king and he's looking to allow on the 2020n census. democrats are also looking to insert some language that ensures privacy of information. by and large democrats are looking to block language which they say will deter people from answering from the numbers being accurate and ultimately affect federal funding and resources to communities that host a large number of undocumented immigrants. this you included breakdown. 90 commerce science justice. 35 for the agriculture and fda. 69 interior environment. 34 for the military construction v.a. and 62 for housing and urban development what are some of the key amendments? they affect the department of congress, the census question, the department of justice, the hiring of immigration judges. that is also some language would bar the department of justice from trying to overturn the affordable care act. there are a number of amendments that offer bipartisan some work for guneasing funding violence research. we will be watch

the house democrats have power now. >> right. >> so they can advantage the bill in the house. would study the issue, it doesn't say pay this or decide who gets paid or how much they get paid or where the money would come from. will that even advance or does the republican senate say, no thanks. >> it's no question of the republican senate passing this bill. no one is under any illusion that senator mitch mcconnell will let this bill through the senate. even if it does it would be vetoed by president donald trump but the importance of the hearing is it's been almost a decade before the house has even talked about this issue is being pushed forward by the democratic candidates on the trail and had that great essay done by mr. coates and this is a minor step but still an important step because this hasn't even been talked about in congress for awhile. >> coming in the middle of a presidential campaign early in the new house democratic agenda. we'll see where it goes from here. public opinion polling, interesting, fox news poll from april, overall americans, 6 in 10 still oppose t

chairman of the house democratic caucus. he's a leader in the house of representatives. thanks for joining us. >> great to be with you, wolf. >> let's begin with the growing feud between the president and the speaker. he called her statement that she would like to see him in prison disgusting. do you believe it's okay for the speaker of the house to tell her colleagues she would like to see the president actually go to prison? >> well, i wasn't in the meeting and so i'm not really in a position to elucidate clearly on the speaker's comments other than to say that she has maintained consistently and publicly that the house is going to do its constitutional duty but in a dignified fashion, we'll follow the facts, apply the law, guided by the united states constitution. and we'll see where that leads us. >> what do you believe, congressman? do you believe the president may have committed crimes and should wind up in jail? >> well, there certainly is reason to be troubled by the pattern of behavior that was outlined particularly

house versus congress. it's pretty much yet again. we'll talk to a member of the democratic house leadership as the trump administration is telling two more former staffers, don't worry about those subpoenas you're getting. we'll be right back. osthe subpoenas you're getting we'll be right back. ♪ you should be mad they gave this guy a promotion. you should be mad at forced camaraderie. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, who's tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad. get e*trade's simplified technical analysis.

house democrats emerging from a late night meeting as speaker pelosi is looking for change. democrats in the progressive processes argue it does not go far enough. a democratic source calls it the largest they've ever seen. >> families belong together in america. everyone has rights. immigrants have rights. we just have to beat that drum for the next couple of weeks, and as we do so, we must also pass legislation to seek humanitarian beads. a vote on the democratic proposal ends today. lawmakers have it back if they keep the time line mp the chair of the house democratic caucus recently outlined the border strategy. >> you should provide the humanitarian assistance necessary to change the conditions, particularly as it relate to that so we don't fund the reckless immigration screen. >>> alex cesar says the effect on hhs would be like a government shutdown. >>> help is coming immediately for nearly 250 migrant children held at the customs and border protection facility in clint, mexico. jake tapper asked vice president p pence. >>> we have known give toothpaste, soap, blankets

guest: house democrats inserted language in the bill that would prevent the trump administration from including a citizenship question on the 2020 census. this issue is currently being deliberated by the supreme court, but house democrats did allow an amendment to go up for debate last night and the amendment was offered by conservative steve king. he's looking to allow that question on the citizenship question, on the 2020 census. and democrats are also looking to insert some language in there that ensures privacy of information and other issues like that. but by and large democrats are looking to block this language which they say will deter people from answering from the numbers being accurate and ultimately affect federal funding and resources to communities that host a large number of undocumented immigrants. host: on those 290 amendments allowed by the rules committee, you tweeted this, the breakdown, 90 commerce-science-justice, 35 for agriculture and f.d.a., 69 interior-environment. 34 for the military construction-va. and 62 for transportation and housing and urban developmen

house officials. what will the democrats do in response to that? >> it's still an open question, but it's very likely or at least very possible that hope hicks, the former white house communications director, one of the closest aides to president trump during her tame in the campaign and white house as well as annie donaldson, a deputy to white house counsel don mcgahn may eventually be held in contempt. it's worth noting hope hicks according to the judiciary committee did say or is willing to hand over some of her pre-white house materials that have been requested from her time on the campaign. as of now, executive privilege still stands. the white house still saying no to whatever house democrats want. >> bill mjoining us now, the majority leader, steny hoyer. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's get right to this justice department saying it will offer the house judiciary chairman jerry nad lettler some documents related to the mueller report if the full house backs off the plan to vote and hold the attorney general in contempt.

this is kind of a new look democratic party on the house side. did they get, do you think, what they wanted? >> well, brian, this was an interesting milestone in terms of the democratic house majority and how they intend to pursue impeachment or potentially not. there wasn't the kind of coverage they would like broadly on cable news and elsewhere. there was that crash in new york that distracted our and other cable news networks. but it served an important purpose for the house judiciary committee, giving them something of a dry run how they might consider and handle future high profile hearings. brian, it's interesting that the mueller report was released to congress and to the public on april 18th, almost two months ago. and there have been seven full committee hearings in the house judiciary committee since then. but until today we did not have any kind of extensive discussion like we saw on the mueller report, of the contents of the potential leads on obstruction of justice. so the things i keep hearing from judiciary committee staff and leade

house spending bills that would rollback administration policy and what some have called this for bill package of spending it covers for as you mentioned of the 12 annual appropriations bill, what is the democrat strategy or process for getting it done in the house and where is the senate in their process on spending bills next >> the house, we've been hearing from the majority leaders, for several weeks now, the goal is to pass all the appropriations bills across the house before the fourth of july recess begins. that may or may not be able to happen now logistic as well as from a vote count perspective. things are very different in the senate, whereas the house is planning to vote on all 12 spending bills and the senate appropriations committee has not yet released any of the spending bills or the market. the reason for that is in order to get a total spending level for the upcoming fiscal year, 2020 which begins october 1, there has to be a broad bipartisan agreement between the house, senate and trump administration. that is not happened yet, house democratic leadership chose to redeem the spending level but it's not an official spending level so the bill probably could not become law or t

yesterday house democrats

but the house is heavily favored to remain democrat. however, republicans we have talked to said if they do impeachment, that is so risky that that could really change the dynamics tremendously. then they say we got a shot to after one term. nancy pelosi, who has said she will stay until the end of this term as a speaker, maybe go another two years -- i would expect another two years if they hold the majority -- she wants to go out on top. host: listen to the tone of senator kennedy from louisiana about impeachment yesterday. we will show it to you in a -- now. [video clip] mythe next step -- democratic friends have got to make a decision on impeachment. i think impeachment will be a sisyphean task. it will be tough going in the senate. impeachment poles write up there with skim milk among the american people. my advice to my democratic friends is, if you want to do it, go hard or go home. you know, if you want to do it, go to amazon, online, buy spine, and do it. but go hard or go home. if you are not going to do it, let us get back to

house democratic leadership emows to go ahead and de spending levels, but that is not an official spending level. so the bill probably could not become law or they would lead to seek restoration which are across-the-board spending cuts. so the senate is trying to see if the leadership of congress and the white house can get together on this spending cap agreement. if not, it sounds like the senate will go ahead and do a number of its own, though it than what theent house democrats did to begin marking up their spending bills. but without the final agreement, none of the bills would become law. announcer: jennifer shutt, you can read her reporting act cq.com. thank you so much for having me. >> when we think of wisdom churchill, we think of the older man sitting young man into war, but you better read few new as well that -- the realities of war, the terror and the devastation. he said to his mother after his second war, the war comes through, you cannot gild it. he absolutely knew the disaster the war was. q&a,ncer: sunday night on a historian talks about the early military career of winst

proimpeachment house democrats have begun recruiting fellow lawmakers to their camp in an effort to put more pressure on the house speaker. lawmakers are hoping to build a critical mass of members that will force pelosi to choose between defying the majority of her own caucus and moving forward with a process of removing the president from office a step that has not been taken on in more than 20 years. consequential. >> it's consequential but there is still a long road there. she's going to need to get to 220, 225 members supporting this and right now, i think it's several dozen. so there is still a lot of work to be done if there is going to be a big majority forge there. that's going to get behind impeachment and there is still a lot of democrats in the house who are queezy about it. they can walk all the way up to the front door of the an impeachment and pelosi is probably hoping for them to strike that balance. there is a lot of work to be done on trump's finances, trump's taxes, charitable organization, the inaugurinaugur the southern district still has an investigation in play. al

the white house counsel put white house democrats on warning that hope hicks was unlikely to answer questionsansition and was directed not to answer questions about her time in the white house. the department of justice has advised me that miss hicks is immune from compelled congressional testimony with respect to matters occurring during her service as a senior advisor to the president. democrats cried foul. >> you have the white house asserting immunity which is not a thing. it doesn't exist. >> it's an on-going effort by the president of the united states to prevent the american people from knowing the full truth. >> this is another time they can get a press release. the democrats are trying to relitigate the mueller report. >> house democrats want to get a transcript within 48 hours and that would allow for an independent assessment of hick's system. >> bret: next up. former vice-president joe biden in hot water again over something he said that was nice about his political opponents. plus reparations on capitol hill and the president's big campaign launch. the panel joins me after a quic

empower the democrats have subpoenas and the committee chairman can now go right to federal court in this area, put this into context if you could . >> this is a new approach from the house judiciary committee, you've got to give credit to democrats. usually, what is happened when this is been defined by a president and congress is both parties, the request for information from both parties, what they've done is actually hold an official lincoln town and try to force the information out that way. that's not what they're doing, instead of holding these officials, they are taking a new and different approach. they say in the interest of time together trying keep the balance of power alive and things not right this combative as the past . >> how do you expect the democrats to use this? >> i think a lot is much as they can. i think what this does is a practical matter is it assures that the balance of power will continue for month, maybe even into next year and includes possibly be on the next presidential election. courts don't feel rushed to address these issues, this will go to a trial court judge with a party run a couple rounds and then it was in or later go to one of t

it also comes at a time that there has been growing calls among house democrats to push for at least the opening up of an impeachment inquiry by cnn's latest count, 56 members of democratic caucus now support that. of course, that put a lot of attention this week on nancy pelosi. the house gets back from a week-long recess tonight. and they'll, of course, convene for their weekly meeting tomorrow, where most definitely, this will be a topic of conversation. >> certainly will be. sunlen, you're also learning that the house oversight committee is now working to hold both william barr and the commerce secretary wilbur ross in contempt in relation to the 2020 u.s. census. what's behind this latest move? >> this is another example of house democrats trying to intensify the pressure on a the trump administration. elijah cummings, the chair of the house oversight committee, he says he's threatening to hold the attorney general barr and commerce secretary ross in contempt of congress if they do not hand over the documents, as you said, related to a 2020 citizenship question on a 2020 census.

house officials. what will democrats do in response? >> that's right, these are two key white house officials among the closest and longest serving aides of president trump. hope hicks, the former white house communications director and andy donaldson, the former deputy white house counsel. the white house has directed both of them not to turn over the documents requested by the committee about their time in the trump white house. notably, hicks, though, she may still hand over documents related to her time in the 2016 trump campaign for presidential election. that's something that chairman nadler today in his response really highlighted, said likely, because it's not covered by executive privilege, and nadler here saying that that shows some good faith effort on her part there. nadler was asked, if they don't comply with the requests, will he hold them in contempt of congress? he says, i assume so, but, of course, both of them have also been subpoenaed to appear before the committee later this month. wolf? >> sunlen serfaty up on capito

sources tell nbc news that speaker nancy pelosi plans to meet with her caucus, the house democrats tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. for a statute update from their lead lawyer about the legal action against this administration. make no mistake, today's house vote keeps the democrats firmly on the investigative track which pelosi supports, and away for now from an impeachment inquiry. politico reports judiciary chairman jerry nadler has twice urged pelosi to start proceedings against trump and that she's refused. today they appear to be working from the same playbook. >> if the caucus wants to go forward with an impeachment inquiry, would you go for it? >> it's not even close in our caucus. nothing as divisive in our country in my view than impeachment. >> well, i agree with nancy pelosi 100% that all options must be on the table. what we are doing now and what we will continue to do is to get out the information through resolution, through the lawsuits we're going to bring to enforce our subpoenas. >> you should hear it when we use a microphone. politico also notes what it's call trump's attempt to weap

at current count 57 democrats are asking house democratic leadership or saying they support at least the open of an impeachment inquiry. keep in mind that's less than 25% of the democratic caucus. in the wake of robert mueller's comments, a growing number of democrats want more action, the and the judiciary committee led by jerry nadler trying to give them something. >> you're also learning the house he oversight committee is working to hold both attorney general william barr and wilbert ross in contempt. what's behind this latest move? >> that's right. it underscores there's not just one investigation going on but multiple across multiple committees one is related to a citizenship question included in the 2020 census p the committee, led by elijah cummings, has been digging into this issue trying to understand the origin of how this question came to be and because of that subpoenaed the justice department and commerce department for specific documents related to how that question came to be. they have not gotten any response and chairman cummings said now he's willing to hold attorne

similarly, we have to look at that in the context of them stonewalling house democrats on pretty much everything. that's one danger that the approach the trump administration has taken. by stonewalling the house on almost everything, taking a categorical approach to "no" on everything is exerting executive privilege so broadly i think they'll hurt their credibility. >> mark preston, renato mariotti. how did i do? >> very nice. >> when they gavel in, we'll bring it to you live. >>> still to come, bernie sanders makes his case for democratic socialism. will people buy it? >>> case for impeachment as democrats move closer to an impeachment inquiry. the president is growing more curious about it. could impeachment really help him? no surprises on your bill. and here's another reason to join. bring in your discount, and we'll match it. that's right, t-mobile will match your discount. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands? they're america's bpursuing life-changing cu

why are there such different attitudes among the senators, senate democrats and house democrats? think a couple of things. first, democrats don't control the senate, they do control the house, and progressive energy is all there in the house. i think gloria is right, the speaker ultimately felt she got enough concessions she had to push it through. you can see why progressives are mad. they see it where they didn't even make the republicans in the senate work for this. majority leader mcconnell didn't have to take off his warmup pants. he passed the bill, sat there while the democrats fretted, and he got what he wanted anyway. they wanted a fight, even if they had to make concessions down the road. >> but frankly this is something that the administration has been asking for now for weeks, so it wasn't like this was rushed through. this is something that democrats have been dragging their feet on and they realized, this reached a crescendo they couldn't ignore it any longer, drag it out any further. i think it wasn't exactly that democrats didn't even try to exact any concessions.

in 2000 and obamacare almost failed to pass the house, democratically controlled house because pro-life democrats worried it would allow federally funded abortion. today it appears support for federal funding of abortion is becoming a requirement in the 2020 primary. >> biden was a unique person in that within the field, looks like he has joined the rest of them, they are all on the same page. >> if you track his view on abortion he said i have my personal views as a catholic and i have my views i espouse as a politician. his personal views matter unless than the overall political views. >> he took a lot of heat but we will follow it. our other top story, a major win, perhaps the biggest of his presidency in the works but the trump administration is not there yet as the clock ticks down on high-level negotiations between mexico and us officials about the crisis on the southern border. kristin fisher has the latest. >> it appears the threat of tariffs is pushing mexican officials to make some suggestion they haven't offered in the past but there is no deal yet and new reporting from bill

speeone fox news alert, a top house democrat introducing a resolution yesterday to try and compel attorneyeral william barr and former white house counsel don mcgahn to comply with congressional subpoenas. chief intelligence correspondent catherine hedges live in washington. hi, katherine. >> hi, julie, good afternoon. they obtain the resolution, which the house rules committee will consider on monday to hold the attorney general william barr in the former white house counsel don mcgahn in contempt of congress. this resolution would allow house democrats to pursue civil contempt, which means they can go to federal court to enforce its subpoenas. but the administration in dustin's apartment officials have acted prematurely, issuing subpoenas in days after month-long investigations that stalled. they also acknowledge the request was overly broad, including grantor information that the attorney general cannot provide by law without court approval. finally they say some communications specifically are still shielded by executive privilege. if house democrats get the votes they need on a civil

house. democrats coming in did want to ask her about those allegations of obstruction of justice that were laid out in the mueller report. the efforts allegedly by the president to undermine the mueller probe, including how he handled the firing of james comey, whether he wanted to dismiss the special counsel, as was alleged in the report, among other things, including his relationship with michael flynn and her role in drafting a misleading statement that went out to the press when it was revealed that donald trump jr. had a meeting at trump tower with russians who wanted to offer dirt on the clinton campaign. all those topics off limits. coming out of this hearing, democrats are making it very clear they're not happy, and they could go to court to fight this out. >> when the white house issued that letter making a claim of immunity, it doesn't exist in the law. it is quite clear that witnesses are required to answer truthfully questions asked unless a privilege is available. there's no such thing as absolute immunity that prevents someone from answering questions about any subject related to
