let me move on here. let me ask you about the government shutwn, run out of money, if a bill isn't passe by the end of the week, your budget director said you want a down payment on the border wall in the government funding bill. if you don't get it, will the president veto the government funding bill? >> we're already -- we already have seen progress in regard to getting money for border security within the cr. i'm pretty confident we're going to get something that is satisfactory to the president in regard to border security within -- >> may not be the wall itself? >> it will be enough -- it will be enough in the negotiation for us to move forward with either the construction or the planning or enough for us to move forward through the end of september to get going on the border wall and border security in regard to -- >> speaker ryan signed off on this saying it is not going to gum up getting this funding bill done? >> no. we expect the priorities of the president to be reflective in the cr. so we expe

. >> dickerson: let me ask you a question about the presidency. george w.ush said this about being president. he said, you think one thing going in and then the pressures of the job or the realities of the world are different than you thought. do you agree? >> i think i can agree with that. i love doing it. you know, i am thoroughly enjoying it. it is always a challenge like life itself is a challenge, but it is something that i really love and i think i have done a very good job at it. >> you said in an interview with reuters that you thought it would be easier. why? >> well, it is -- it is a tough job but i have had a lot of tough jobs. i have had things that were tougher, although i will let you know that better at the end of eight years, perhaps at eight years, hopefully eight years but i will let you know later on. i think we have done very well with foreign policy. i think we have done very, very well with relationships with other leaders. i think we are doing great on trade deals. it is set and i think we are doing well. i mean our country is being o

let me ask you about your tax plan. >> go ahead. this week, it has got big deficit numbers you say that will be made up by growth. >> well not only growth, it will be made up by better trade deals. it is going to be made up by many different reciprocal tax. as an example, we have countries where if we make a product and we send it to that country, they charged us 100 percent tax if they make the same product and send it to us, we charge them nothing. do you think that is smart? it is not. we are going to come up with reciprocal taxes and lots of other things on those countries but i view that more on trade. we are also going to fix all of our trade deals. we are going to have a very wealthy man country again. >> dickerson: let me ask you this, mr. president. congress may not go along with -- they are going to try to find some spending -- let me ask you about medicare. they will want congress to make up on the spending side to change medicare. will you allow that? >> you won't have to do it. >> dickerson: will you allow it? >> you wo

. >> let me say this. let me start this way. you expressed regret earlier this year for the rule changes made on judges in 2013. why did you go along with it if you regret doing it? >> well, let's look at the history. our republican colleagues had been holding back on just about all of so many lower court judges including very important d.c. circuit. i went to lamar alexander, one of my dear friends in senate, and i said, if you keep holding back on scores and scores of judges, my side will want to change the rules. go to mitch and tell us to have votes on a few of those, many of whom had gotten bipartisan support. the answer was no and we changed the rules. but the one thing that stands out here, we did not change it for supreme court for one very important reason. and that is on the most important of decisions, 60 votes is called for. that's why you get a mainstream, that's how you get a mainstream justice. just about every -- mitch calls it a filibuster. we call it the 60 votes standard. most americans believe in the 60 vote

let me turn to mr. brandon. over the past ten years, we've witnessed a precipitous drop in firearms prosecutions. in fact during the last administration, prosecutions went down over 30% in this area. do you have any explanation for this drop? >> mr. chairman, thank you for the question. i know in the previous administration, the operative word was impact, and that the cases, even though they would be fewer, should all be impactful. we complied with that to try to focus on the most violent what we call trigger pullers and the traffic and supply of firearms. >> let me tell you the problem i have with that. if you look at i think any recent year, you're going to find that a number of people lie when they fill out the instant check form for the nic system when they purchase a firearm. in most years it's 60, on the part of,0 -- 60, 70,000 people. and in most years it's less than a hundred out of 60, 70,000. i've seen some years it's 40, that means 60. that means if you knowingly go into a gun store and you attempt to

downtown new york, o'reilly managed to outrage his host when he said this about the 9/11 hijackers. >> let meo. 70% of americans don't want that mosque down there, so don't give me the we business. you want to bet on that? i'll show you that poll in a minute. >> why is that? then why aren't we saying -- >> because it's inappropriate. >> why is it inappropriate? >> they killed us on 9/11. >> oh, my god. >> muslims didn't kill us on 9/11? i'm telling you, 70% of the country -- >> i don't want to sit here. i don't. >> go. you're outraged about muslims killing us on 9/11. [ applause snshlgs. >> i think we can use that on the polarization of america right there. joy behar and whoopie got up and left. >> it also underscores my point about political correctness. i was amazed during the primaries going out and talking to republican voters how much that issue really resonated with them. >> what do they want to be able to say they're not allowed to? >> things like that. i don't want the islamic center down the street from me. i'm worried about these people coming into my country. i don't like it when t

let me go over a few areas. on trade he promised to be tough, backed off on china, backed off on mÉxico, on buy america, again, we have a good strong bill, they've backed off of that. a lot of the steel now and infrastructure and water is going to be made overseas. on health care, he said he would cover more people at less cost, his bill does the opposite and maybe the worst is draining the swamp. his last days he said, wall street won't be in washington. well, they were in cabinet, billionaires, and there's such closeness, i think one of the worst things he did on the swamp is they're allowing lobbyists to work in the administration on issues they lobbied on and they get waivers that are secret, so there's been promise after promise that's been either unfulfilled or broken on infrastructure, we sent them a trillion dollar plan, we haven't heard a peep out of them. we are willing to work on issues like this. the bottom line is very simple, the president, if he works with us, particularly on issues like trade and

let me know when you are ready so anyway, let me know when you are ready. you need to stay on me, stay on me, and then coup it up so when i hit it, lets see how my heart, is doing and then again to the explosion. let me see how my hearts doing perfect. >> and then we can see check late inside because it is sweet to the certainty, your core is sweet. >> serenity now. >> nothing can bother me have a got back from therapy nothing can bother me you cannot make me mad. >> we would never want to make you mad. >> i have to allow you to make me mad, owe kay. we're inspired by the hunt, you have to be careful, saying that we were down at city hall we will have a rematch of our easter egg hunt. >> i who by one egg. >> he only came up with a half >> a half. >> a half. >> he is doing that to me because he is mad because i'm trying to disqualify him for having a half egg. he was trying to cheat. >> thanks, karen. >> and so then he attacks me. >> um-hmm. >> so we will have a rematch at 9:30. >> this will be up the anti because thinks outside, so when we know up and down m

>> let me pick one you'd think everybody can agree on. let me pick it.ity has improved dramatically since 1980, dramatically. transportation -- investment in transportation infrastructure is up. somebody might say, oh! that's a great correlation! somebody might say -- and we haven't had that many bridge accidents, traffic fatalities are down, there is not a lot of bridge collapse fatalities. somebody might look at that and say let that continue to go, it's going well. some mother with their baby in the back seat might say, i can't stand the fact that 9% of the bridges in the country are structurally deficient. i can't take that. that's way too hard for me because i value my baby. so is that a good or bad set of statistics? people have to decide. take the economy. we have a table and an annual report where i call it the knobs and dials chart. at the top, we have, like, ten things government can do to stimulate the economy. at the bottom we have a bunch of outcomes, and we do this stuff over time because oftentimes government stimulation can drive things u

let me explain that. i was part of the congress passing these laws in response to some immediate concerns that we had of members of congress and etcetera, and what we did not want to be challenged is the president's authority to act. we did not want the ability to challenge the effectiveness of the president of the united states speak definitively with the authorities that he had. that's the reason why he was given this leeway on being able to challenge his actions. conflicts do apply. corruption statues apply to the president of the united states. the clause applies apply to the president of the united states, there is no question about that. yes, i am concerned of his domestic conflicts. i am. there is going to be questions as to whether his office is being used for personal gain when his children travel with all the protection -- that's disappropriate because of their family connections to the president of the united states and vulnerabilities for security. that's intimidating of the people they are ne

let me get this straight. let me get this straight.o if any, for instance, any of these young men and women behind you decide that they are going to be a part of an institution, a banking institution in their community or better yet, they decide that they're going to -- they have their own business, that they have put all their money into that they have exhausted all their savings and they want to be able to go to a banking institution to expand or get credit, whether it's for a car or to expand their business or to get a mortgage, and their institution is being investigated, skbrvinvestigate ed supervised, fined by the bureau. they have nowhere to turn unless the final rules find that they're taking down the entire financial system of the united states government? >> i'm not -- >> what's the recourse? >> i'm not recalling -- >> what's the recourse? >> we -- against any community or -- >> what's the recourse? so you have no abilities to investigates any -- >> banks and credit unions, that's correct. banks or credit unions. >> what you

let me ask you this, sir. do you believe that the cfpb is helping american -- regular americans rebalancing some of the imbalance that we have seen accruing in this economy? >> i know we are. because that is what they tell us. and people who get helped on our complaint line and get problems resolved often come back and tell us about it and thank us for it. and i know that congressional offices are sending us referring us clients and we're helping work through those and that is all a good thing. and the other thing i would say, when you say that the return on the investment is that we've gotten $4 back to consumers, people out in the public for every dollar spent on it, it is far more than that, because that is what happened to them in the past. but in the each of thein tans, we don't just look at what happened in the past, we stop them from doing it in the future. so that means over the next period of time, they're going to save that $4 they otherwise would have lost and it will be on into perpetuity, that is

let me begin with an aside. i represent a large state, and i do pay close attention to constituent letters, calls, and e-mails. a weekly report lets me know on what issues people are focused and what they think. and i take this feedback very seriously. in general, my barometer has been that when i receive over 30,000 calls, e-mails or letters, that's when i know an issue is reasonably meaningful to many people in the state. to be clear, i don't base my final judgment on any issue or nominee solely on the numbers of calls and letters i receive. however, this is a representative democracy, so i find this to be an important measure of what california constituents are thinking. when it comes to this nomination so far, my office has received a total of 112,309 calls, e-mails, and letters from california constituents. 92,799, or 83%, oppose this nominee. and 19,510, or 17%, support this nominee. let me just read a few of the calls. one constituent from silverado, california, wrote, in 1971 when abortion was illegal, i

[applause] >> is a challenging time all over the world, but especially here in the asia-pacific. the opportunity for me to be here today at such a time is such a great privilege for me, but let me assure you, under president trump's leadership, our resolve has never been stronger. our commitment to this historic alliance with the courageous people of south korea has never been stronger, and with your help, and with god's help, freedom will ever prevail on this peninsula. [applause] >> but it is easter sunday, and as i look out at all these courageous americans and courageous koreans gathered here today, i am deeply hum

let me give you some optimistic -- no. i'm not supposed to share what happens in the private meetings of the senate foreign relations committee. so i'm going to violate that a little bit in that we have meetings with world leaders who come in and meet with our committee and we had that president cisi the day after he met with president trump and just about every member of the foreign relations committee used their time in questioning president cisi on human rights. just about every single member. i think that was to counter what was apparent by the lack of that discussion or reporting of that discussion with president trump. so, there is great interest. in the congress, we have champions on both sides of the aisle on good governance and anti-corruption and human rights. we have bipartisan support for the introduction of the bill we did. it was john mccain who insisted that anti-corruption be part of mcin it ski. that's strong bipartisan interest in congress to advance these issues and we recognize both democrats and republ

let me finish up. you got to let me finish up. the president, i think, is absolutely right to criticize the media whose coverage of him so far is 89% of it has been negative. you see story after story. >> you're citing a conservative group only looking at the three nightly newscasts. >> i got to say that they've improved because it was at 91% during the campaign, so at least the media -- >> he gets up there, he misstates the stat. >> brian, you got to understand, there's a broader cultural pushback and the fact that the media last night was standing there criticizing the president -- look, i love satire and breaking people's chops. i like funny things as well but you could tell last night there were a couple funny lines but it was so personal and such a twisting of the -- >> you mean from the comedian. >> yeah, but you could tell just under the breaths of a number of people who were speaking last night how much hate and contempt there was towards the president -- >> carl was -- >> i wish this president well. he is the duly elected

let me add my thanks for being here. start on the permanent side, mr. secretary. obviously you had an incredibly distinguished private career. i'm not sure that prepared you necessarily for going into government, and my first question is, what is the biggest surprise, the biggest change you feel going into being the treasury of the united states of america. >> the skill sets carry over into government. i thought it would be much different but a the exacts are very similar in the sense that no different in business. you have customers. here we have the american taxpayers and american workers. you have different constituents, whether it be shareholders, boards, regulators, here we have working with congress and other constituents, and there's a real teamwork aspect to this. so, i would say in the overall skill sets i think they came over in many similarities. as it relates to the job itself, there's a lot to do in this job. there's huge operational aspects of the job, but there's three fundamental parts, when its domestic finance, which i had a lot of experience in,

>> let me finish, then you can -- i've got some questions for you. go back to those complaints. from 2011 to 2016, october, before this massive 1700 page rule was issued, approximately 1 million complaints. we talked about that, received by the cfpb. of those 1 million complaints, 6,000 had to do with prepaid cards, that's .6%. of those 6,000 complaints, 1% of those received were related to overdraft which represent represents .006%. additionally, only 3% of prepaid complaints related to advertising, marketing, or disclosures, which represent just .01% of all complaints. you can see from this chart we have up here on the screen, disclosure complaints with overdraft complaints are almost invisible. >> i would like to have a word on a few of the things. >> let me start by asking yes or no, did the cfpb base the prepaid rule off complaints received? >> the cfpb -- >> yes or no. >> you said repaid issues are covered by rege. a big part of this was putting them on a level field. that's what it was responding to. >> did you consider the thousands of positi

so let me again thank you all for what you're doing. we're here, the congressional black caucus, we're here as willing partners to help you fight what you're doing and dr. goff let eme tell you, thank you for what you're doing, we're going to partner with you also, so call upon us as you need us. thank you, and i yield back, mr. chairman. mr. cummings: just to reiterate what our chairman said, dr. goff, one of the thicks the chairman has been acting on is trying to figure out how to be effective in whatever we do. and so the expertise that you will bring to counsel us and let us know how to use our energy, because you can go in a circle and not get to where you want to go. i know in all of us -- i know all of us on the caucus want to make sure we're effective. the chairman emphasized that. i hope you continue your efforts even after this hearing to help us out. sheila jackson lee. congresswoman from texas. ms. jackson lee: thank you mr. chairman. i hope you all can hear me. thank you to chairman cummings, to chairman conyers, delighted t

let me repeat that. in 2013, the first year of the president's term, no more -- the republican leader, no more dc circuit judges. we had three vacancies in the dc circuit. eight of the 11 were filled, three were vacant. it had nothing to do with the nominees, they just said they were not going to consider any of the menus the filibuster to block any filling of this position. i am going to quote first from chief judge henry edwards when he talks about the dc circuit. review of a large multi-polity difficult administrative deal, stable judicial work in the dc circuit, long distant wishes the work of the dc circuit from the work of other circuits. it is impossible compared to work in the dc circuit, by simply referring to raw data. and the federal government in some capacity. he described the dc circuit's unique character as a court with special responsibility for legal challenges to conduct the conduct of the national government. my point is clear, the second most important court in the land, the first yea

let me quote you richard goldstone, if i may.ted senior thinkers, after he was asked to write a report of the war, which the israeli government hated, by the way, but richard goldstone has reacted in this way to the comparison between what israel does and apartheid. he says in israel nothing comes close to the definition of apartheid under the 1998 rome statute. inhumane acts committed in the context of an institutional regime of systematic oppression, that is the definition of apartheid. he said israeli arabs represent 20% of the population. they have the vote, they have political parties. one of them is on the supreme court. they occupy positions of acclaim across the country. this is israel. have you been to israel? this is part of the story. have you been to israel? i am trying to remember. i have... i have been to gaza, i have been to the west bank. but that's the point, have you been to israel? occurs we are talking about israel's treatment of his own population on its own sovereign territory. we can get to the occupied ter

let me say this. and i said here but let me be clear. left to their own devices, appropriators can work this out unless they get from an on high some determination that they have to have certain poisoned pills in the bill. and then, assume they have the votes to pass it on their own. remember, they have the majority to keep government open, whatever the bill is. whatever the bill is. so yeah. i'm optimistic that we can -- i always had been optimistic about it because, again, i have confidence in the appropriators to do the right thing by the american people and they understand each other's priorities and they understand the limitation of resources that the competition for funds demands. so, yes. i dealt night before with i thought and with goodwill with director mulvaney. and then he said i spoke -- shut down government. first of all, i don't have the power to shut down government. i wouldn't do it. it's not in my value system. i bailed them out a number of times so that they didn't shut down government but he of all people should be tal

. >> let me start with sanctuary cities. i want to get into the budget and how it affects inner cities, but the president has gone out of his way, the attorney general jeff sessions actually threatened mayors like you of sanctuary cities offi turning o certain funding. why are they targeting you? >> i think them targeting sanctuary cities a way for them to tell mayors and folks around the country that they're sticking to what i think is an un-american and unconstitutional policy and trying to intimidate us into being what i've called fugitive slave catchers, to run around and do otheir bidding in our cities. if we refuse, it's hard for them to do their policies. >> when we talk about undocumented residents locally that have sanctuary in certain cities like newark and et cetera, we are not just talking about mexican americans. i mean, in newark, we're talking about people from the caribbean, people from africa, people -- >> that's right. >> and i think they tried to racial stereo type this as a mention cxican boarder issue wh

let me put it this way. i open the book with this point, i was telling you this story a little bit go about my mom was a stay at home my, my three older brothers were all off in the military. my mom when she got that minimum wage job, that made all the difference in the world to my family. we kept our house, it saved our family. but here's the deal, it was a minimum wage job at a time when congress had said we got to think about minimum wage in terms of what supports a family. so a minimum wage job would support a family of three. and it meant my mom's minimum wage job at sears could make a mortgage payment. i will tell you something else. she had a 40 hour week job. not 30 hours-- if sears had a lot of business, she had 40 hours a week. and if sears had no business she still had 40 hours a week. you roll that forward to today's workers, the minimum wage is set where a momma working full time, 40 hours a week cannot support herself and a baby. she cannot afford a medium prized two bedroom apartment in any ci

it's assuming a lot of attention here in d.c. >> erin, let me turn to you. what is your take on how the president handled michael flynn? >> we heard sean spicer do the very same thing in one of his press gaggles. it seems like that's a coordinated message and strategy from the white house to shift blame a little bit to the obama white house because they know obviously that mike flynn has been a bad figure for them. if in any way they can distance themselves from mike flynn, they will. >> alex, i want to turn now to health care and you brought it up a moment ago. is there hope for this new health care plan and if it fails again, who bears the responsibility for it? >> i think it's pretty much dead. i mean, they were not able to get the votes at the end of the week and so it doesn't appear that there's been a lot of momentum behind that bill. it's become more conservative but marginally more conservative. it hasn't sold critics like rand paul who has a problem with the subsidies and giving states the rights to have waivers and to allow companies -- insurance c
