. >> thanks to you for moderating the debate and my thanks the house of representatives has taken action saying moving forward there can be no public funding regarding sexual abuse charges rendered against a member of congress. that legislation has passed the house of representatives and is now in the senate and i hope the senate of the united states will take it up in the next judicious manner. also strongly favor measures against human trafficking and the lead on this issue is our colleague from new jersey, congressman chris smith. this is an important area and congressman smith has devoted his life to this and of course we have to lead by example, and i've always led by example in this area and have probably hired and promoted women on my staff both on my political stuff and staff of public policy and we have to speak out wherever there is a sexual assault making sure that it never occurs. >> did you want to 30 seconds? >> yes and i think following off of the congressman said, we do have to speak out and be very clear when the serious allegations are made we have to respect the surviv

your party right now has a 23 seat majority in the house of representatives. the problem solvers caucus has 24 republican members. you have the power right now as a caucus to control the agenda of the house of representatives. you could pass that break the gridlock rule right now. you could write not use that 244 votes in the problem solvers caucus to pass moderate responsible health-care legislation, universal background checks for gun purchases come something on assault desert you. arrange about marsupials that a been languishing. why don't you use that influence now? if he can't use it now why do you think you'll be able to use any future? >> first of all you didn't answer my question, and certainly a good deal of money that we gave to the iranians was used for terrorism against the united states and i think you should admit that. the problem solvers caucus will be more effective in the neutral because where the controls congress it will be by a narrower margin. most important of all in the problem solvers caucus is the break the gridlock proposal which woul

is more likely then really taken also on over the senate so house of representatives republicans looking at really really big problems and democrats are really positive if and stoked about having a chance to take over the house of representatives but it comes to the senate not so clear one way or another this will be now until november sixth and beyond a absolutely riveting time in terms of. political nusi and along the political divide because make no mistake this country is politically divided this split is going only deeper nobody pays nobody i heard or talked to saying like yeah this is going to be unified and after the midterm elections it's getting anyway better so you say the possibility of having a polite and civil public debate about political issues is lessening every day because of this because of the supreme court nomination conflict. well i think actually right so what this what this nomination process and confirm confirmation process that is not only that it of course split the country in half more so along the political fault line see it but what you se

also the house of representatives has taken action tuesday going forward no public funding regarding sexual abuse charges rendered against a member of congress that legislation has passed the house of representatives and i hope the senate will take it up in a judicious manner. also i strongly favor measures against human trafficking with our colleague from new jersey this is an important area. of course, we have to lead by example and in this area i have hired and promoted women on my political staff and staff with public policy whenever there is a sexual assault to make sure it never occurs. malinowski: following off with the congressman said we have to be very clear when serious allegations are made we have to respect the survivors and there is a difference here related to what happened in the judge kavanaugh case when doctor forward came forward and congressman lance said while he dismissed her allegations before she could even be heard, i think that's precisely the sort of thing that makes it so hard to survivors of sexual harassment with the knowledge they will be dismissed. lanc

of latinos serving in state houses. this phenomenon really being a function of sitting state senators and state house representatives and assembly members moving up and running for higher office and not being played by other latinos or latinas. our projections is there may and net loss of three state senators and four lower house representatives in state capitols around country. once the election is done after november 6th, we will issue our final report on the numbers of latinos elected to congress, to the united states senate, state-wide offices and to state houses. stay tuned for that. that will come shortly after november 6th. finally, let's look a little bit at latino voter impacting gubernatorial races. here we see the percentage of latinos that make up the electorate in these very tight races for governor in arizona, colorado, connecticut, florida, new mexico, nevada, rhode island and texas. where the latino share of the vote could really tip the outcome of the election. we see the same thing in happening in some key senate races in arizona. he contest between mcsally and cimena. in california, deleon and feinste

jim wright, the southern conservative ends up becoming the majority leader in the house of representatives. this has significant consequences because when o'neill retires then right become speaker of the house, right develops a reputation of being a partisan and polarizing speaker, democrats in the house unify against him and in particular a fellow by the name of the newt gingrich reports problems and right to resigns and as a result, gingrich profile increases dramatically to become speaker eventually in the house of representatives. >> personal factors, did they play a role? absolutely. without a doubt. it was once said that burton had the personality of a brillo pad. it's certainly the case that there are democrats who could not stand him. some said i don't care about right, he's not burton so i would vote for him. but, at the same time because it's a one-vote margin, almost anything could have made the difference. if he hadn't been mean to one member of congress or there are countless stories of people who are about to vote for burton and wright said don't do that. so, you never know w

well that was interesting that was a letter from a number of members of the house of representatives both republican and democrat and now they publicly backed another letter that had been sent by the senate the difference with that letter from members of the senate is that that has real legal standing it was invoked under the magnitsky act which calls on the president to decide within one hundred twenty days whether or not to impose sanction against bodies that are shown to be repudiating human rights in any part of the globe now the members of the house of representatives saying there that president trump should come to that decision as quick rather than later and that his investigation into who is accountable should be very speedy indeed so what you're seeing here is alignment a bipartisan alignment within both the senate and now in the house of representatives granting up the pressure on president trump insisting that there be a response to this investigation that the investigation be concluded quickly and that those that are found to be responsible suffer the full weight of united

don't think michigan -- well, if republicans are having bad night they can lose the michigan house of representatives and, you know, one of the thing here in washington we tend to get fixated on congress and the house and senate, but to me, the most -- the unwritten story of this election is the state elections. washington in the last 20, 30 years has been increasingly unable and willing to deal with a lotth of problems facing the country. it's created a vacuum and state legislators and governors have picked up, become more aggressive and taking on more power and republicans scored huge gains during the obama years, a net gain of 6 governorships in over 700 state legislative seats in 2010 and two more governorships in an 300-state legislature seat in 2014, so the republicans now have more elected offices today than any time since 1920's and all that's up and a lot of open seats and this is going to put aside the house and senate and this would be a big-time election. >> host: michigan governor seat currently rated lean democratic. you can see race ratings and the house senate, cook political.com and

that might seem like a sign national republicans are giving up when it comes to winning the house of representatives, the new strategy might not be such a bad idea. al remember, democrats need a total of 23 seats in order to win a majority in the house. anything short of that and the balance of power remains the same. so republicans can stand to lose a few seats if it means keeping their majority. and that same math is weighing on democrats as they work to turn their voters out in mid-terms. an analysis shows that in a high turn out scenario democrats could end up with as many of 235 of the 435 seats in congress. well above what they need for a majority. but democrats would end up with just 217 seats in a low turn out scenario, more than they currently hold but one seat shy of a majority. so are democrats doing enough to prevent that scenario during these last crucial three weeks. ways to lose stubborn belly fat. the roasted core wrap. 3, 2, 1... not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells with little or no downtime. and n

else do we know about this it's indeed well it's legislation that has been entered into the house of representatives by a group of congressmen among them as you say a number of republicans what it essentially says is that arms deals with saudi arabia should be reviewed in particular those relating to training intelligence equipment this is unless president trump provides a report establishing saudi arabia's innocence in this matter now this is similar to legislation that was introduced recently and the situation is at the moment is that congress is in recess so they can't be any discussion over this legislation and tool after the midterm elections when the house of representatives reconvenes but what this is doing is just sending a warning to president trump that the house of representatives didn't deed the senate watching closely they are waiting for some kind of tangible investigation the results of an investigation coming out of the white house which can be established whether or not arm sanctions are imposed against saudi arabia so well let's talk about the white house mike has there been any re

steve: if you could change one thing about the house of representatives, what would you change? rep. crowley: i think there's a lack of interaction between members of the republican conference and the house democratic caucus. i don't know if there's much that can be done to change that. i think a lot of good laws were the had somems of, effect of making us more distant from each other. people actually get a chance to get to know folks on the other trips, weatherme if you sit on the foreign affairs committee, which i did. i had an opportunity to work with republican colleagues, including mike pence, where we traveled to iraq and afghanistan in the mid to thousands. we got to know each other better. otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance to meet mike pence or get to know him. this really nothing here that brings people together, socially even. even from a delegation standpoint. i know some of the members of the new york delegation, i don't know anyone from the new york allegation. -- delegation. that's unusual. that's something i pride myself on, even in a bipartisan way. it's bec

house of representatives. this longtime republican seat is nowpen so voters have been getting to know the fresh faces vying for their support. democrat susan wild, who leads in theol, and marty, an olympic goldt. medalis at this debate the candidates faced questions. marty focused on the economy and its strength under president trump. while susan hoped her and mocrats' position on health care would help flip the seat. do you feel finally democrats can take the seat? t >> done anything for granted. i know i have to work for every votert i get. re: polls have you down. how are you feeling? >> i feel good. these arehe same pollsters that didn't predict donald trump would win. reporter: just days untilmohe election in this room have already made up their minds thanks in part to president trump. >> i just can't believe his moral background, the way he talks that people are supporting him. i don't get the mentality. >> if the democrats win the house, they're going to just itch peach trump. that's their whole mission

. >> i think the forecast in the house of representatives is that democrats are right now favored to take control of that body. the best estimate we have is they'll end up with 225 seats. that's seven more than they need to gain control that have body, but i should point out the margin of error is wide enough that we should not be surprised if republicans maintain control of that body. it's something we'll be updating every week. on the senate side, republicans are favored to retain control. right now the best estimate is they'll actually gain a seat. >> how did you get to those numbers? >> we looked at polling data. historically how accurate they are at this point. we also looked at demographic data in the states, how it voted in the past in presidential contests, senate contests, state legislative contests, how much fund-raising has been going on. we looked at a slew of variables. >> what happened to this blue wave? i never really believed in it but what happened to this blue wave? >> well, in the house we still get at least a bit of a blue bubble. the senate side, it's the map. the

. >> what happens if you face a democratic house of representatives? what happens to the nra? >> i'm sure you'll be reading our mail coming out saying this is -- it's not just democrats. it's the crazy democrats that this, if you will -- and i call it what it is. >> but democrats used to support the nra. >> of course. >> i think about in 2006, when democrats took back the house of representatives, they did it by going and recruiting democrats who were pro-nra. >> right. name five. look what's happened. they perceive that there's going to be a blue tsunami, or whatever they want to call it. i perceive that -- we don't have the money, but we've got the votes. we the people still govern in america. >> do you think you have the votes to hold the house of representatives? >> we're praying we do. and i'm asking every nra member to go out and find another nra member who's gonna vote in their district to hold the house in the hands of -- >> what happens if democrats take back the house to the nra? >> my guess is, the first thing they do is impeach the president. and the second thing t

what they believe is an inevitable rush, in the house of representatives, of power and authority, to kind of get back and get back for the last two years, and the embarrassment of 2016. and they do have a lot of drive right now. they have -- they have some wind at their backs. >> they do. >> laura: i won't sugar coat it. >> and the mistake they're making is they're showing their colors. these leaders that you put on the board, they aren't moderates, these are the radicals. we're going to have the leaders of the kavanaugh mob outside, give them gavels in the house of representatives. in wisconsin, what's going to happen, the swing voters in rural wisconsin that can go republican or democrat, they look at who the people are and what their agenda is and how anti-trump and pro touch, pro america donald trump has been. they're going to say i don't want that, i am going to go republican. you will see democrats shot, they don't resonate with people in wisconsin. >> it is the jobs versus mobs mid-term. and, you know, if dr. grayson were honest, she would acknowledge that there has been a ref

brian: you write a lot about who dominated from a political standpoint in the house of representativesanne: one person in the late 1830's and 1840's is john quincy adams. he is amazing. brian: you say he taunted the southerners. joanne: he did. he's kind of a magical character for me as far as the story goes. by the time he goes to the house, he has already been president, he is elderly in age, he is the son of a founder and another president. he is not the kind of guy you are going to be able to slug. he is violence proof, and he knows it. he uses it. he is constantly taunting and bullying southerners, well aware that they cannot slug him. sometimes the southerners say so, and henry wise and adams go head to head quite a lot. at one point wise says if you weren't sure you are you would feel my words. adams writes, today, henry wise threatened to kill me in my seat. he took advantage of his reputation to defend the right of petition and against slavery. he was incredibly powerful. he also was a brilliant parliamentarian. he knew the rules he had a , lifetime of experience and politics

of the white house administration and president trump. that is foremost the left, but a growing number of republican senators and house representatives as well as the foreign policy establishment, all critical of the president, of the administration, and of this late reaction of mr. manage and -- mnuchin, saying he will not go next week to the high-profile conference in riyadh. 85% of the compa ceo's and organization representatives have already said they are not going. now the treasury secretary follows suit. that is for many a first good step. brent: the treasury secretary is not going. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo has been and has come back and questions still remain. what was the objective of going to saudi arabia? >> you nailed it. that is what everybody is asking here. secretary of state pompeo came back, briefed the press, surprisingly, about his conversation with president trump. he has briefed the president and advised him that the u.s. should wait out the investigation of the saudi's. basically giving them more time to figure out their story and to come up with a comprehensive tale. i have to say, just moments ago, the p

sadly, a majority of democrats in the house of representatives have co-sponsored a very socialist healthcare plan that would destroy medicare, terminate medicare advantage, and outlaw the employer-sponsored healthcare plans of 157 million americans. we think that they're going to actually come along with us when they see what we're doing. we think. we hope. it's something that makes no sense any other way. so we really think that can be bipartisan. it happened to be a democrat that told me how important drug pricing was. it wasn't a republican in this case; it was a democrat. under this administration, we will always protect medicare for our great seniors. and we will always protect americans with preexisting conditions. always. in every action we take, we are putting america first. and this is very much about putting america first. we get tired of having people go to other countries to literally fill prescriptions. and you know where i'm talking about. we're fighting for lower drug prices, which will now be automatic. it will be automatic and very substantial. lower premiums, where we've do

if the democrats take back the house of representatives, it will be because of suburbs outside of citiesne. from what you are saying, even though donald trump is not actually on the ballot this time, this election is indeed all about him in a state he narrowly won in 2016. yes, those to be a referendum on donald trump, midterm elections quite often are a referendum on the president in this country but i think this one marseille than ever because donald trump is such an unusual president and republicans i sent and i don't know what you feel about this but a couple of weeks ago, they were feeling pretty confident all around the bread, not hearings and they thought that played well for republicans butjust in this last week, the election seems to be closing a bit and democrats seem to be doing a bit better. it is an interesting call that came out yesterday, a gala poll that showed that in the course of the past week, the week in which we had those pipe bombs and week in which there was the mass murder in the synagogue and pittsburgh, president trump's approval rating has gone from 44 to a0.

mueller's report, and against any new investigations that may be launched if democrats take the house of representatives. i'll speak with congressman denny heck of the house intelligence committee and our correspondents and analysts are standing by with full coverage. let's begin with our justice correspondent, evan perez. evan, you have breaking details on the mueller investigation. what's the very latest? >> that's right, wolf. the mueller investigators have been anything but quiet in the past month, be even though obviously, because of the november elections, the special counsel has not done anything public during this past month. among the things happening behind the scenes, paul manafort, the former chairman of the trump campaign, has been into the special counsel now as many as nine times. nine times, giving dozens of hours of interviews to the special counsel team as part of his cooperation deal after pleading guilty to the special counsel charges last month. also behind the scenes, michael cohen has been providing hours of testimony to the mueller team, as well as prosecutors from the southern d

the clerk: the honorable the speaker, house of representatives. sir, this is to notify you formally, pursuant to rule 8 of the rules of the u.s. house of representatives, that i have been served with a request for records in connection with an action pending in a civil case issued by the circuit court of marion county in the state of alabama. the request seeks documents and information relating to a work force development program at a state community college campus. after consultation with the office of general counsel, i have determined that compliance with the request is not consistent with the privileges and rights of the house. signed, sincerely, robert aderholt, member of congress. the speaker pro tempore: the chair announces the speaker's appointment, pursuant to section 1652-b, of the john s. mccain national defense authorization act for fiscal year twinte, public law 115--- 2019, public law 115-232, and the order of the house of january 3, 2017, the following member on the part of the house to the cyberspace commission. the clerk: mr. galla

about this but what has happened is that a pretty good just lation has been tabled in the house of representatives now this is legislation that is similar to that that was introduced last week as well basically what it's saying is that arms sales in particular intelligence training equipment all of these that of given to saudi must be reviewed unless president trump produces an investigation which absolves assad of responsibility for this killing so basically what congress is doing the house of representatives in this particular case is keeping the pressure to bear on president trump congress is in recess at the moment so nothing further can happen with this proposed legislation but it's a signal to president trump that when congress reconvenes after the midterm elections there's going to be a massive push from both republicans and democrats in the house of representatives and in the senate for tangible action to be taken away when or if saudi complicity is proven ok mike hanna live for us in washington mike thank you and president and will not run in british prime minister theresa may have spoken

house of nobles. the house of representatives came from the house of commons. interesting fact for hawaii is that our common law is actually british common law because we were independent and we followed the british system before that. when you look at common law in hawaii, people from north america would say, the common law is different, because we are actually british based. the beginning of statehood for hawaii, the embrace the idea of democracy and one of the most significant ones was the early 19 centuries, hawaii adopted the health care act, which many years later, the federal government copied and it became obamacare. prepaid medical for everyone in hawaii and i was put in place in the 1970's. president obama used this as a model to create the national healthcare system that was in place then and is trying to be dismantled now. we wouldave said is like to maintain we originally had. we had it before the federal legislation and if it should go away, we want it to remain. hawaii was one of the first states to legalize abortion and that was in the late, rig

generally the most pressure we're seeing is indeed from congress from both the senate and the house of representatives in the course of today for example now the bill has been introduced in the house of representatives signed by two republicans in addition to the democrats who signed it it's a sting that sales alms to saudi arabia must be stopped in the lack of any investigation produced by president trump showing that they would not complicit in the killing now this is a way of keeping up pressure on president trump congress is not in session at the moment a there's no way that the house of representatives can act on this at this particular time but it is a very strong reminder to president trump that when congress is back in session questions are going to be honest and there's going to be a very strong press for legislation which would impact on what president trump is insisting he doesn't want to happen and that is a curtailment of arms sales to saudi arabia they can do with the latest there from washington d.c. mike thank you and coming up on this news hour from london iraqi doctors were borne dis
