kildee talk about real quick the percentage of the budget he's referring to versus what you're voting on today, the defense authorization bill and the money there. >> yeah. i think there's a misunderstanding of how much of our resources we devote to aid to less fortunate countries around the world. i wanted it's a minuscule amount of the budget. we're ta ee're -- i understand . i'm 100% on board with the number that, number one, we should do more to deal with homelessness in the united states. i really don't think in the wealthiest country on earth that we have to make a choice between whether or not we take care of problems here at home or we use a very small part of our resources to try to deal with some of the most misfortunate people in the world. the crisis at the border was not made better but was actually made worse when the president made the decision to discontinue the direct support to that area. i don't think we can escape the fact that that made the problem worse. it made it more difficult. and i think we would be wise to at least try to deal with the problem at the source

i'll speak to congressman dan kildee of the ways and means committee and our correspondents and analysts will have full coverage of the day's top stories. with july fourth fast approaching, president trump is making some drastic last-minute changes to the traditional celebration here in the nations capitol. let's begin with our white house constituent kaitlan collins. the president, he'll be seizing the spotlight. >> reporter: yeah, wolf. the presidents in the past have not typically attended the nation's fourth of july celebration. but president trump seems intent on doing so and doing it his way. no matter what the financial, political or logistical cost are. president trump's grand vision for a military parade is finally coming true. at least partially. >> it will be like no other. it will be special and i hope a lot of people come. >> reporter: on thursday trump will turn washington annual fourth of july celebration into a show of military might. cnn learns new details about the last-minute event which will feature tanks at the lincoln memorial and a fly over from the blue angels san

kildee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. kildee: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my friend, mr. engel, the chairman, for his leadership on this issue. and for my friend, mr. bilirakis , mr. mccaul, mr. wilson and obviously mr. mcgovern who has been working on this with me as well, along with congresswoman pass. -- bass. congress cannot sit idly by while one nation kills its own people. lacks communication to the outside world. and commits serious human rights violations. the people of sudan, like all people, deserve the ability to determine their own future. they deserve a civilian-led democratic society. they deserve to not have to live in fear, in constant fear of violence. it's for these reasons that we offer this resolution to -- to affirm the position of the united states congress, despite views that we may differ on on other matters that we can come together, democrats and republicans, across the political spectrum to denounce the trampling of h

kildee: thank you, madam speaker. this week the trump administration is in court arguing before the fifth circuit court of afeels to strike down the affordable care act -- appeals to strike down the affordable care act. including taking away coverage for people with pre-existing health conditions. if the president gets his way, tens of millions of americans lose their health insurance, including a lot of people i represent in michigan. for the 130 million americans with pre-existing conditions, insurance companies would then again be able to discriminate against them and deny them coverage. that's what happens if the trump administration prevails. caps on ut the a.c.a., annual and lifetime coverage could come back again. 800,000 michiganders losing coverage. while the president and his followers seek to roll back to those days when people could be denied coverage because they are sick, think about that, denied coverage because they are sick, we are fighting to continue to bring down the cost of health care. we have an

i want to congressman dan kildee and i appreciate your time, congressman. you voted i understand to go ahead with the impeachment proceedings against what speaker pelosi wanted. why. >> first of all, i think the president should be subject to impeachment inquiry. i will say this the position many members took was more nuanced than many think. many of the member like me supporting impeachment inquiry did not vote with -- did not oppose the tabling motion, because they didn't like this particular approach. and i sort of share that. i think what mr. green. >> meaning you don't like the going ahead with impeachment for ra racism as the reason. my feeling was this should have been referred to the judiciary committee rather than tabled. but i share the view that many colleagues share that this is not the approach that we should take. i don't think one member using the privileges of the house should impose a set of impeachment articles on everyone else and ask for yes or no vote. having said that, with we don't get to vote with footnotes. we have to vote yes or no

kildee. the chair: the gentleman from michigan is recognized. mr. kildee: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to the chairman of the committee for working -- for working with me on addressing this pfas contamination issue. today the house is taking historic action to address pfas contamination that's hurting communities including communities like the city of oscoda in my district in michigan. at the beginning of the year i launched the bipartisan pfas task force to bring together members of congress who are dealing with contamination in their districts. we wanted to work together on meaningful legislation to address pfas and protect public health. so i'm very pleased to stand here today, six months later, in support of these amendments. the package of amendments included in this en bloc will help address pfas contamination and ensure people have access to safe drinking water. included in the package are three of my amendments. the first would direct the u.s. geological survey to lock for pfas contamination around the country so we know where people are potentially exposed. my second

democratic congressman dan kildee of michigan, thank you.sman and i see each other last night and talk about the realities of how bad it is in flint. and he said you weren't going to the campaigns and getting them to try to acknowledge it, it wasn't dealt with honestly. >> it hasn't been dealt with honestly by the government and i have to apologize to you as a member of the media, we haven't continued to shine a light on it as well. we got compassion fatigue. what is the reality right this minute for people living in flint, michigan. >> i think the big mistake is to think that the flint water crisis was really fundamentally about water. water was the symptom of a really big problem. we have a lot of places, a lot of communities in this country that are continually left behind. we heard the president go after the people of baltimore. baltimore is another case study here. the people of flint experienced a water crisis because they were allowed to get to the place where their one mistake and one miscalculation away from being in that sort of cr

congressman kildee, why does your committee have to give reasons for getting these tax returns when thesecretary treasury shall produce them for the committee? why do you have to have a reason? >> well, he really doesn't have to have a reason. congress has its authority. we can exercise that authority based on our own discretion. in this case, we do have a legislative purpose. we have two. one is oversight, to make sure that the irs is properly enforcing the law, the tax code on the president of the united states. and then we have a legislative purpose, and that is the question whether or not we need to codify what has been a practice of auditing presidents when they come into office. that's been a practice of the irs, but it's not the law. but the real point that you make is the most important one. it is not up to the executive branch of the u.s. government to decide when there is a legitimate legislative branch initiative. the separation of powers makes it clear. we share authority. and that includes us having access to information to inform our decision-making process. and to have th
