florida democratic congressman jared moskowitz and republican congressman from new york, mike lawler.oth for being here. one of the things that you have common ground on is a new piece of legislation. it's called the ship act legislation, stop harboring iranian petroleum basically a policy statement the u.s. should deny iran to engage and destabilizing activities imposing sanctions in entities enlisted in iranian oil trade and report on iranian petroleum sports. congressman moskowitz, why is this important and why now? >> first bret thanks for having us on common grounds obviously important and we can find that in fighting iran. what's going on this closes a loophole that right now iran are using to get iranian oil and for the regime to make money. this will put initial sanctions as you mentioned on ports and refineries. and as we saw, iran is using that money, mostly that they're getting from china to use as a destabilizing force helping russia by supplying drones and they had to go in jeannine to work on the fact that iran is continuing to fund hamas's actions there. >> bret: congre

here to react, new york congressman mike lawler. congressman, good morning. >> morning.ving me. will: so these are in many instances middle schools across the country during the summer, i'm sure the argument being made that they're not occupied by students. but still, we're using our school facilities to house illegal immigrants. >> these are places of learning. they should not be used for housing of anyone, let alone illegal immigrants. we have a crisis in this country created by the biden administration and their failure to secure our border. over 5 million migrants have crossed over illegally. and this administration's doing nothing to stop it. and eric adams along with new york city's sanctuary policies have created a mess. they've taken in over 80,000 migrants since the spring of last year, they have nowhere where else to house them. they've been trying to ship them up into the suburbs, into the hudson valley and long island, and now they're trying to use schools to house them. we need to secure the border, we need to increase border patrol, need to increase the num

lawler: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to house joint resolution 68, and all of this afternoon's privileged resolutions on this matter. it's international emergency economic powers act created a process by which the president could declare a national emergency, create sanction authorities for that emergency, and impose those sanctions on the malign actors that are causing the emergency in the first place. while i agree with my colleagues about the need for oversight and modernization of presidential emergency powers, i strongly disagree with the process by which they are trying to force change. the national emergencies we are discussing today provide the legal basis for critical sanctions programs, targeting some of the most evil people on earth. although some of these authorities were enacted years ago, many sanctioned individuals continue to pose a clear and present danger to u.s. national security interests today. these ill thought-out joint resolutions by terminating these national emergen

republican consequenceman mike lawler, thank you so much. ha a great weekend. >>> on sunday i'll be talking to congressman mike mccaul, only on is not on sunday. >>> russia is still not commenting on yevgeny prigozhin's whereabouts after alexander lukashenko, through the world's understanding of the fate of the commander. lukashenko said, no, he's still in russia. ened matthew brings us to an unused base, trying to house wagner's mercenaries. >> reporter: this is the closest we have ever come to a wagner camp, not in russia or ukrainian front lines, but standing empty for now, this belarus. this is where we thought that soldiers invited to belarus could be housed, in a vast tent city that's supposedly unused site in tents like this set up to house a couple dozen fighters at any time. for the most part they're empty at the moment. that's because the plan to invite wagner and its leader over here now appears to be on hold. recent satellite images showed out quickly the camp was transformed, ready to house large numbers of troops. the belarusia

the wisdom and playfulness of the late, great peter lawler, who was something of an isi institution. and of course, working with such friends, editors at isi as mark henry, jeremy beer, jeff nelson, harvey young and, dan mccarthy. in recent years, i've had the pleasure of participating the george washington statesmanship program, delivering lectures on washing ten and lincoln, churchill and the goal and burke. i'm also pleased to have an article on the late jesuit theorist james v shaw and the brand new issue of modern age. there was a man who knew meaning of both reason and revelation to the very depths of his soul. i've always joked family and friends that i all seven good jesuits in the world. there may be 12 or 14, but i know them all. and father shaw was among the greatest of them. i'll tell you a quick story about him. months before he died at the age of 91. i had just published a book called the idol of our how the religion of humanity subverts christianity. and i wrote to father jim. and i said, father jim, i need your address on my scott nelson california to send you my new

bilkiffing expressed this opinion in an interview with voice of america, a republican in turn michael lawlerexpects from the summit a clear plan regarding ukraine's membership in the alliance in general both democrats and republicans as main topics stand out against russian aggression, support for ukraine and the long-term plan for its accession to nato , american legislators told ekaterina leeson about their expectations and forecasts. united support of ukraine by nato members in all aspects of efforts to liberate ukrainian sovereign territory from russian military presence, and frankly , if you need to defeat russia on the battlefield, it unwavering commitment that we must undertake collectively as an alliance i believe that this will be done in vilnius i think that certain weapons systems that need to be transferred to ukraine in order to win this battle will also be discussed i also think that there will be a discussion about a more formal form of invitation and clearer deadlines for ukrainian membership in nato i think that nato should continue to support ukraine and i also think that n

is theater, the shiny object tony gonzales is people home are concerned about real things michael lawlerd hudson no one is seriously considering this except kevin mccarthy wants to go on tv all the time and pretend as if it is happening, so it is not happening and i know that aside for you and i hate to burst your bubble about -- >> not versed in, still bubbling. >> jessica: okay, you bubble as long as you want. i wouldn't try to stop you. but i am not afraid of it. and i think that this would actually be a day of celebration for people who think that the system is rigged and we have these two -- two-tiered system of justice because hunter biden didn't get the "sweetheart deal," and i was watching stephanie ruhle last night, she had on joyce vance, who was a u.s. attorney, and she said the judge asked all the right questions. that this was a completely appropriate response to it and that there were things in the deal that hadn't been made public yet. i am not seeing the outrage about -- >> jesse: the judge smelled a rat that the doj was in cahoots with hunter's legal team -- >> jessica:

lawler, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mister chairman. how much money does the fcc spin to analyze the impact of climate change on capital markets? >> sir, we have about a two plus billion dollar budget, and part of that is the economics unit of about 160 people. but this is just about the disclosure regime and it is not if i understand your question, about climate risk. we are not a climate risk regulator. we are a disclosure regulator on capital markets. >> okay. how much money have you spent? >> our oversight of the capital markets is two plus billion dollars a year. >> a. is it to review the fcc should be guiding companies and investors and the type of investments they are making? >> as mandated by congress, investors get to decide which investments they take, but it is based on full, fair, truthful disclosures. so -- >> investors get to decide what you believe esg should be a component of that decision-making process? >> what we know today is that hundreds of companies are making disclosures with regard to climate risk and investors

here's mike lawler. >> in my district, less than half of adults have a college degree.o force them to pick up the tab for somebody else who was fortunate enough to go to college is not fair. it's not right. >> trace: how do you explain that, leo? you know what? we're going to pay for these people to go to college and nothing for you. it's not fair. >> you can't explain it. you give them a copy of the constitution, those pushing this student loan forgiveness, it's not the authorization of joe biden to do so. it's the power of congress. there's video of nancy pelosi saying that he can't do it. so it's unfair. but it was a political grab bag to get young people to vote democrat. it failed. it's going to backfire to go after these republicans. because i think the american people do not believe it's fair for someone else to pay someone else's debt. >> trace: i wanted your take on this. a lot of talk about the a firmsive action decision the supreme court came out with. it's interesting. as you say and people have pointed out but not getting coverage, there's are a number of b

those are now in jeopardy including congressman mike lawler 's seat to. including mine it's not like there's some, you know, right-wing districts. these are districts that democrats lead in enrollment and joe biden won by 10 points. but we ran strong campaigns. they're doing everything they can to flip these seats not through an election, but through a gerrymander. and that's what's wrong. pete: of course they are. they control the state, and they want it back. >>> republicans are expected to file an appeal. if that fails, the map will be redrawn ahead of the 2024 election which could help democrats take back control of the house which is the whole point. there will be no toss-up districts in new york. we want them all. those are your headlines. >>> all right, let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our fox weather forecast. adam, doing weather on a horse, could be a first. adam: pete, i don't know what i'm doing. i'm told these are the controls. this is ranger, i'm adam, this is the weather forecast. it's hot and steamy out here, ranger agrees.

going to get trounced, you know, see people split the ticket between joe biden, presumably, and mike lawlerd anthony despacito in new york. could happen. very difficult to see that happen. >> maybe george santos. who knows. no way, i know. >> say it to me, santos. >> jake sherman, michael steele, garrett haake, gentlemen, thank you very much for starting this friday off right with me. appreciate it. >>> another deposition, what donald trump might have to testify to this time. >> and we just found out where exactly secret service found the baggy of coke, when might they figure out who brought it. >>> and what keir simmons found in a camp for the wagner group. and what the kremlin found in police raids on yevgeny prigozhin's home. we are back in 60 seconds. prigozhin's home we are back in 60 seconds. she n the family legacy. we were blown away. (chuckles) i not only was a student and an undergrad, but i've been a professor there for twenty years, so it's really a special moment to know that i had a family member who over a hundred years prior have walk these grounds. it's deeply uplifting. ye

reverse the house republican majority on new york state alone, if you imagine a situation where a mike lawler, deesposito, george santos, three members who could all of a sudden see their districts much changed in democrats' favor. there's a potential to be a big deal here. this isn't the only state this is happening. there's liable to be much more democrat friendly districts in louisiana and alabama that could change the maps, although there's going to be more republican friendly districts in north carolina. the reality here is the house just so narrowly divided, all of these at the margin kind of toss up districts could end up being make or break for the party in power in the next cycle. every little bit of this matters, and who draws the maps and essentially the politicians selecting their voters here will have a big say on who then selects politicians until the next cycle. >> talk to me about what happened yesterday with the ndaa in the house, the defense bill, and all of those amendments that were added. but explain to me the stakes just within the party. i mentioned it's sacrificing the

some house republicans pouring cold water on the prospect of doing so just today, mike lawler sayingthe purpose, garret graves, i'm not going to take a position. and he said i'm concentrating on appropriations, chip roy said this is a new body, so i would say onward. and tim burchett of tennessee, i don't care about that, it doesn't amount to anything. here to discuss van jones of former obama administration administration and scott jennings who was a special assistant to president george w. bush. i mean, scott, a lot of those names that i just read are republicans who were in districts that president biden won and voting on something that is basically meaningless just symbolic, or would send a message, doesn't help their campaigns. >> yes, you might get into a situation where it fails. i mean what if he puts that on the floor and you don't expunge it? i talked one house member he's and maybe the first one might get expunged, i'm not sure about the second one, the optics of this are all bad, and then you take on the political empirical data we have witches voters are thinking about d

and a clear case in point here, kaitlan, i asked mike lawler, a freshman new york republican in a difficultbout this, about whether he supports going forward in inquiry. he did even to respond to the questions. he walked right by the camera. >> now, and as he has noted, hillary clinton is one of his constituents in that district. manu raju, thank you. for more on the politics at play here, i want to bring in former president biden white house communications director kate bedingfield, and former communications director for the republican national committee, doug heye. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> dog, i don't think it's an accident that just one week ago, this is what president trump was saying about impeaching president biden. >> they impeach me or a phone call that was perfect. why aren't they impeaching biden for receiving tens of millions of dollars? [applause] why isn't he under impeachment? [applause] >> that was last tuesday. >> here we go. when donald trump says something, we used to have these commercials, when in haughton speaks, people listen. when donald trump

mike lawler, he's one of the more moderate members.elected from new york and then of course you have among the most conservative on the right there, and that tells you everything you need to know. they don't want to deal with what happened in the past, even those who are among the most fervent of supporters of donald trump, maybe the most fervent are like, okay, let's do this pau because it will make him happy. for the most part no. there's so many reasons why thigh don't want to do it, not the least of which it doesn't do anything. you can't -- you both know this, you can't expunge an impeachment. it would just be effectively a sense of congress, which would be putting everybody on record with their opinion about what happened, and you're putting the moderates in a tough position. and so that's a long way of answering your question, which is that kevin mccarthy has from the beginning of trump and trumpism had a very complicated relationship with him because certainly when donald trump was president, he needed him very badly. when kevi

vulnerable swing districts, including new york congressman anthony d'esposito, nick lalota, michael lawler yes, george santos. this morning, hakeem jeffries, also from new york, named and shamed those numbers, who are all upper reelection next year in districts that joe biden won. >> every single opportunity they have, to vote with the american people, to vote with the women of the country, to vote with team reasonable, team noble, keep america, that's the house democratic caucus, every opportunity that they have to show the reasonableness and distance themselves from the most extreme elements of their party, they fail to pass the tests. >> think about this, this is a free vote for the members. they could've voted against the amendment, come back to their districts and run the nightly news and look at me, i am a modern republican. i voted against the abortion restriction a defense authorization act. no, they did not. all party line, down the line. it won't stop. all of them, but republicans are so intent on banning abortion in another state in ohio, they are just trying to and majority rul

people like mike lawler in new york, and a few others in really tight contests.ng the majority next election? >> oh, yeah, i think they are concerned about it. you know, they're out there raising a lot of money. republicans will go and attack the democrats on this same thing. they'll say, well, they voted against funding their troops, you know, they believe, actually, that their position on some of these woke issues is where the american public is. should the pentagon reimbursing, you know, service members for travel costs and abortion. they're saying that's the pentagon funding abortions. that's their argument. they believe the american public is with them on this. should the pentagon be allowed pride flags to fly outside military bases. that's their position. they're against that. they believe the american public will be with them. they feel like they can attack on this issue. if the abortion is the issue in 2024 again, as it was in 2022, for the house, you know, republicans are going to have a huge problem. >> let me talk about senator tommy tuberville and lin

and a clear case in point here, kaitlan, i asked mike lawler, who's a freshman new york republican inifficult race, about this, about whether he supports going forward with an inquiry. he didn't want to even respond to the questions. he walked right by the camera. >> and as he has noted, hillary clinton is one of his constituents in that district. manu raju, thank you. for more on the politics at play here i want to bring in former president biden's white house communications director, kate bedingfield and the former communications director for the republican national committee doug high. thank you both for being here. doug, i don't think it's an accident one week go this is what president trump was saying about impeaching president biden. >> they impeached me over a phone call that was perfect. why aren't they impeaching biden for receiving tens of millions of dollars? why isn't he under impeachment? >> that was last tuesday. >> here we go. when donald trump says something -- we used to have the commercials. when e.f. hutton speaks people listen. when donald trump speaks the republic

mike lawler, saying, quote, i really don't see the purpose.graves, i am not going to take a position. -- said, i'm concentrating on appropriations. chip roy said, this is a new body, so i'd say onward. and a timber terrace-y, i don't care about that, it doesn't amount to anything. here to discuss, van jones, a former obama administration official, and scott jennings, who was a special assistant to president george w. bush. i mean, scott, those, a lot of those names that i just read all republicans, who are in districts that president biden won. and, voting on something that is basically meaningless, just a symbolic message. it doesn't necessarily help their campaigns? >> yeah, and you might also get into a situation where it fails. i mean, what if you put something that on the floor, and you don't expunge it. i talked to one house member today, who said that maybe the first one might get expunged, i'm not sure but the second. when i mean, think about this. the optics of this are all. that and, so and then you tack on the political, empirical p
