mccarthy: let's stick to the facts. the president asked the country to participate in a case that appened in 2016. that's 100% legal. that happens every -- that happens every day in america dealing with other countries. it is a case that the u.s. every single time of everyd. witness that the democrats got to selecting control, they were asked a question. the two best witnesses they had that they started this with, can you name one article that she should be impeached upon? why are we going through this nightmare? it goes back to the very first day after the election. they had a goal, they wrote a timeline, and they had to change the basis and move it to adam schiff's committee. they are sticking to that timeline. the answer to your question, they have always wanted to impeach the president. watch them at their words, directions, what they have done. the most important here is, alexander hamilton, founding father, was concerned and warned us that this day could come. today andll look back it will be a sad day. time,e tha

mccarthy: i can show you the vote. she laid out that impeachment was so divisive that it would divide the nation, that the only way to move down it, it had to be compelling, had to be overwhelming and had to be bipartisan. we've had that vote on the floor for an impeachment inquiry. and the only bipartisan vote that turned out there was not to move forward. so the standard that she gave to the nation, that she gave to her own conference, she will not hold her own self to. why? because she wrote this timeline before she was even sworn in for president she picked the committee chairs based on what she wanned to accomplish on the timeline. the freshmen that gave them the majority said it on the night they were sworn in the individuals that first moved the impeachment said the reason why they were afraid of losing. the committee it went to yesterday, 2/3 of them, if this is the jury, had already voted for impeachment before they heard. if they had listened, and who did they select? three democrats, the witness republicans

mccarthy: i watched president obama do this. if you watched the hearing yesterday, turley was asked the question from john radcliffe, and he agreed no bribery, no extorques, no obstruction of justice, no abuse of power, that was the answer. i do not understand what they have going forward. they have a timeline but they have no proof so they brought professors n they selected professors that were donors to the democratic party. we selected a democrat who did not vote for the president. we selected an individual who's probably the one that is respected the most when it comes to a scholar on constitutional it -- constitutionality. because we take this so important and we believe exactly what the speaker said back in march, that this is so divisive, you need something overwhelming. you need something compelling. it doesn't meet the criteria. reporter: comply with the subpoena. why shouldn't the investigation -- mr. mccarthy: if you watched the president's or read the president's letter from his attorney from the white house, if he h

mccarthy: am i worried about my legacy? no. am i worried about my legacy of standing up for the constitution, that it is not impeachable what the president did? the question before me as a member of congress is that impeachable? even what i would consider probably the most respected constitutional scholar, someone who is not a republican or democrat, jonathan turley even said, the only abuse that was moving forward was the democrats. that there was no bribery, there was no obstruction. and that's the job that i have. will i be embarrassed by the fact that i just served for a year in congress and the record of this congress is more subpoenas than laws? i'm embarrassed that this is the congress that did that. i'm embarrassed that this congress promised to be different and they haven't. i'm embarrassed that this congress designed their entire time, from selecting of their committee chairs, from the freshmen on their first day, to adam schiff, with only one goal of impeaching the president. when they moved to that impeachment, goin

we are talking about the mccarthy era. did your father ever come into contact with mccarthy? >> no.thy died before we got his contact. so it should be under stood h that senator joseph mccarthy ofa wisconsin was the senator. he was the chairman of the subcommittee doing many of the same things as the house un-american activities committee. except his focus was mostly on what he thought were communists in the federal government. he was the leading demagogue of that area. one of the interesting connections is that one of the congressman on the committee who interviewed my father was elected to the senate right after that join the committee with mccarthy and saw mccarthy's demagogue and really helped president eisenhower and others undo mccarthy and a decade later would write a book called days of shame regretting everything he'd done during that era. >> what was your mother's fall during all these moves and during the red scare? >> my mother was political too. she was as ideological or more so than my dad. she had been a member of the young communist move. she was not followed by the

mccarthy: it doesn't raise any concerns. when i heard the report that he was in vienna, he wasn't in vienna. >> there was no interaction? mr. mccarthy: that's a total different thing. i don't have a problem with devin talking to individuals. what was claimed about devin on cnn, on the national news media, is that he went to vienna to meet with individuals. he was not in vienna, that was a lie. just like many lies before. it seems like a perpetual thing of what we do. this was brought forward by adam schiff who said he didn't know who the whistleblower was, who said he had proof beyond circumstantial evidence who said today at this podium he didn't know where he would be on impeachment, when he told the entire nation he would throw him back to the goalen? no, i have no concern. >> you and mr. collins talk about the white house not participating tomorrow, i understand your perspective on that but would you like to see them participating if there are fact witnesss? are they leaving something on the table if they don't come in a

director mccarthy? >> what we did, senator, had to go back and look at the incentive award fees to ensure that the metrics were such that we incentivized the appropriate behavior by the contractor in this case. so what general purna has done is revised them. we did get inputs from the gao and others, but he has revised those, those will go live here in a couple of weeks. but there are specific instances for installations in fort benning and i think one other location, most recently where we held back substantial -- joint base lewis-mcchord withheld substantial fees, back from the contractors in this case because of poor performance and work order response time and quality. you want to add anything? >> i just add that as the secretary said, the average incentive fee is 77%. we're taking a much harder look at that. they're not all getting 100%. as low as 11%, and we see that making a difference in the performance of the contracts as they execute their mission. >> mr. secretary? >> senator, we in the navy

mccarthy: no. she's actually -- agreeing to it she's doing her job. waiting a year she has weakened america. we have been in negotiations with china for how long? would america not be stronger if we had the usmca agreed to prior to the negotiations with china? everyone would tell you yes. why did we have to wait this long to have these many more jobs that are going to be created? why did we have to wait this long to have the g.d.p. grow? maybe she wanted to give as much time as possible before the next election. just narrow that. we are less than a year away before the election, and just now usmca came up. yes, she's probably very fearful the president will get credit because he deserves it and so does lighthizer. and lighthizer showed the professionalism, through all of this, through everything they said about the president, he was professional every single day in this negotiation. the idea that you brought two countries outside of america together, and i hope you go back and write the lesson about this, i believe business schools will study this. it

they'll be forever remembered as the senator joe mccarthys of our time. so blinded by their hatred of president trump they abandoned american rights of due process and fairness and just decency. reminiscent of joe mccarthy they assaulted the constitution, took secret hearings, blocked evidence and switched charges like rogue prosecutors. ultimately they chose abuse of power because they practice it so well. president trump committed no crime or impeachable offense. none. his legacy won't be stained. democrats' will. they'll look back at these days in shame because trump haters in congress like red haters of the past are willing to plunge america into darkness for raw

secretary mccarthy?>> we are watching closely senator, we will make sure there is no change, that doesn't lead towards improvement. >> let me ask you both again. we will start with mccarthy. families in my state have also raised concerns about insufficient tenants rights for those who live off base. with that in mind, what is the army doing to ensure the military families have access to high quality off-base military housing? >> specific to missouri, i will have to get back to you. in other instances like yesterday, for it benning and brag and others that i have been visiting, they work hard with the local communities to get additional opportunities for off base housing. we are doing this at all of our installations, we can tell you about what we are doing it for leonard in the future. >> same question. >> off base housing, there is an allowance that members get. maybe the chief would have further detail on that. >> we do routine housing allowance surveys, and we also go out and look at the basic allowan

secretary mccarthy think? >> we might be there right now, sir. >> secretary mobley. >> senator, i think that in certain cases, we may be there. in other cases, i think there's pretty heavy responsibility on the navy and knavery leadership over the last couple of years in terms of not paying attention to it. >> secretary barrett. >> senator, enough is enough. we have had enough. on some of these properties, they have worn out the patience of the air force. in other instances, they're doing a great job and we're -- >> i agree and i don't want to go too far over time, but i want to be fair. i don't want to all of a sudden let our passions sweep up people, sweep up private housing providers that seem to be doing a good job trending in the right direction. but we probably need to make an example out of a couple of them and just draw the line and move forward. and in the other case, go back and figure out, secretary ryan, i think you're right. if we don't look at recapitalization, i'm not one who thinks we should ta

i rise as kevin mccarthy, citizen, no better, no worse , kevin mccarthy, citizen, no better, no worse who are in this chamber, or the 330 representatives who are in this chamber, orthe 330 million americans watching this institution make what i believed to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made. it doesn't matter whether you are a democrat or republican, whether you are liberal or are conservative, whether you are the first generation of the 10th... conservative, whether you are the first generation of the 10th. .. so there you have, on capitol hill, the house minority leader, republican kevin mccarthy, speaking. and on the other side of your screen you have vice president pants, who is up at a rally in michigan where donald trump will be speaking to supporters in just a few minutes‘ time —— vice president pence. these two things happening at the same moment as americans wrestle with the impeachment of donald trump, and donald trump is out on the campaign trail. the proper grounds and process for impeachment now and in the future. four months, democrats and many in the media

eugene mccarthy had also thrown his hat into the ring. although it was a long shot, indiana which is a more conservative state even among democrats didn't seem like the right state for kennedy to start his campaign. it was a bit of a gamble. kennedy himself said my whole campaign is a gamble so let's give it a try and indiana. following his speeches in south bend at the university of notre his on april fourth and subsequent talk at the university, kennedy was supposed infly to indianapolis coming at the airport and from there go to downtown indianapolis. after that, he was supposed to come out here to the broadway christian center at 17th and broadway street which was in the heart of an african-american neighborhood. give his standard campaign speech. talk about what he was going to do if he won the nomination and they were also registering people to vote because they would need every vote they could. on the way to indianapolis when he was at the airport, the couple of reports said kennedy heard the news that dr. king had been shot. at th

president mccarthy will announce this at the january 2020 meeting. finally, as i was saying before, if i get teary, i will talk through it. this is my final building inspection commission meeting. i would like to express my appreciation to the director. we worked together for many, many years and done amazing things in this department. i also want to express my appreciation and warmth to all my commissioners, many of whom we have sat on this commission together, done really important things. in my now more than 20 years of serving on this commission, i know, time flies. i continued to be impressed with the dedication, hard work and professionalism of everyone working here. they perform vitalling safety professional services every day of the year, and our city and communities benefit tremendously from their commitment. new commissioners will be taking seats in january, i believe a lot of us will be leaving. i wish each and every one of-fellow commissioners every possible success with the boroversight responsibilities you will be assuming outside of th

mccarthy actually defeats kennedy in the oregon primary. the first time any kennedy had lost an election. and so it comes down to the california primaries. the big prize with the most elegance. out a narrow victory in early june, the evening after he wins he is at the ambassador hotel in los angeles. he takes a shortcut through the kitchen there, and is shot by sirhan sirhan and dies a few hours later. i think kennedy coming to indianapolis shows you the part that chance plays in history sometimes. you had all of these things that had to come together to bring indianapolis on april 4 to make those remarks to the crowd at the broadway christian center following martin luther king jr.'s death. words have power. if words spoken sincerely and with meaning, people get it. i think that he had a way, the informed do speech as it might have been was weaved together so well. like a needle, it pierced the hearts and minds and the soul to make me think deeper about what this was, so it was easy for me to see the change of my emotions from the first on

la la la la la >>> a stunning lie from house minority leader kevin mccarthy.rt of what he said about the inspector general's report on the start of the russia investigation. >> here's the fbi. they broke into president trump, at the time candidate trump's campaign, spied on him, and then they covered it up. it is a modern-day watergate. >> uh, facts first. the inspector general's report found there was no illegal spying on the trump campaign whatsoever. it also found absolutely no evidence that the fbi ever broke into trump's campaign, so no, congressman mccarthy, this is nothing like a modern-day watergate. here to discuss, frank bruni and matt lewis. i'm glad that you both are here. i mean, frank, first of all, wow, this isn't like spin. this is an outright and very dangerous lie about the u.s. intelligence agencies. do you even think he believes this? >> no. i mean that's what's so breathtakingly cynical about it. i don't think he believes a word he just said. i think he knows better. he's not dumb enough to believe that. i hope he took a brief glance at th

scott, as you hear those comments from kevin mccarthy, what do you think?ossible he actually believes the words that are coming out of his mouth or is he trying to get a message to the president that he is loyal? >> well, i think a lot of republicans after reading the horowitz report and the rebuke that the fisa report, a lot of republicans are concerned about the way the issues regarding the trump campaign investigation were handled. i mean, the investigation by any fair reading of these documents was riddled with errors. all of the things that happened that were uncovered by the horowitz report cut against the trump campaign. it wasn't like it was a system making errors. all cutting against the trump campaign and chris wray, the fbi director is saying i have 40 fixes i have to implement. if something requires 40 fixes, it is not working right. what he's talking about is the general belief by republicans that there was a system in place here and even though there may have been greend to look into some things, there was a system in place that cut against th

joining us leader of the gop, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. always a pleasure. thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me back. maria: you heard senator cruz. you heard lindsey graham as well, talking about what is taking place, what has taken place in terms of the i.g. report. first react to that. set the stage for us. >> if you pause for one moment, you read the i.g. report by horowitz, here's the fbi, they broke into president trump at the time, candidate trump, campaign, spied on him. then they covered it up. it's a modern-day watergate. then you have got democrats who are not even willing to look into that. that is the area we should be looking into. it's a modern-day coup, the closest this country ever came to. the only way you can compare it to watergate. they broke into his campaign bringing people into it. they had been trying to cover it up for the whole time. question rises just like watergate, when did they know about it and how high does this go up? maria: incredible that the democrats change the narrative on you and your colleagues over

mccarthy rose to fame through his provocative performance art. the i have a not so i 1st met mccarthy in 1903 during the post-human exhibition in hamburg in the dive to holland i'm amazed at the creations that he and his sizeable team come up with the most is team mom. this is paul mccartney's version of a pirate ship made and here he's created a traumatized version of disney's 7 dwarves. they have a somewhat demented look as they stared back at their observers. this culture references westerns again he distorts the myths of american movie making. mccarthy's team numbers up to 40 people and includes sculptors engineers and carpenters who turn his visions into reality here a group of experts are working on a silicon replica of mccarthy's own body. will use the technology part of that motion picture industry and also theme parks all this kind of stuff it really functions well the people in vol. i have sympathy and interest in art. what. is some degree it's it has to do with obstructing the normality or flipping the form an expression about the absu

trump and mccarthy argued van drew would be better off in the gop.onfirm that he will switch parties, but he told this to nbc news. >> how about constituents? do you feel it's fair to them to switch parties when they voted -- >> my constituency, the majority of them are republicans. but the biggest majority of them are people who vote for people because of their vigil and because of how hard they work. that's what i've always done. so i have an election coming up. and if they disagree with what i've done, then they will vote me out and that's something i will very willingly accept. that's their right. >> joining us now, new democratic candidate running for the van drew seat, bridget harrison is a professor of political siengs and law at montclair state university. thank you nfor joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> was it this announcement that he is voting against the articles of impeachment that have provoked your canada sni >> actually, lawrence, it was his volt against the impeachment procedure. >> which is now a couple months ago. >> exact

mccarthy: thank you, mr. speaker. want to thank the gentleman for yielding but more importantly, i want to thank him for his work on this bill and the others as well in their committee. there's an urgent need to soaring cost of prescription drugs that burden too many american families. we need a solution that lowers actual costs and find cures for disease and illness. this congress has spent great deal of time that we have cures for the future. that is why republicans introduced this bill, lower costs, more cures act and i urge all my colleagues to support it. the bill was written with a rule. each policy must be bipartisan. i know in this town and in this climate, that is not achieved very often. for an issue as crucial as lowering the cost of prescription drugs for americans, partisanship should be set aside. later today, we will see which side and which bill is bipartisan. by drawing on the very best ideas, h.r. 19 makes crucial reforms that will lower out of pocket costs for americans at drug store counters. for s

there's also the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy, and what he is saying. debunked allegations about the fbi spying on the president's campaign. we're keeping them honest on that tonight. speaking of the president, he is talking too, and his words are really hitting the fan. >> i never understood when -- i know windmills very much. i've studied it better than anybody. i know it's very expensive. you know what they don't tell you about windmills? after ten years, they look like -- you know, they start to get tired. you got to replace them. >> yes, windmills are also a thing tonight. and there's more. i'm erica hill in for anderson. thanks for joining us. we begin with newly released emails and the fight over weather to have witnesses at the impeachment trial. the two coming together tonight with the words of a white house budget official named michael duffey, someone senate democrats want to hear from. >> if there was ever an argument that we need mr. duffey to come testify, this is that information. this email is explosive. >> this email, the one in questio

we're still waiting to hear from house minority leader kevin mccarthy. we'll have his remarks when they start. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do it next year. no rush. cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92% of colon cancers. you just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. there's no excuse for waiting. get screened. ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. covered by medicare and most major insurers. man 1 vo: proof of less joint pain woman 1 oc: this is my body of proof. and clearer skin. man 2 vo: proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis... woman 2 vo: ...with humira. woman 3 vo: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further irreversible joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the number one prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. avo: humira can lower your ability to

today he'll be working for paul mccarthy. his task to conserve desert dust on a sculpture by the american post pop artist mccarthy rose to fame through his provocative performance art. at the not so i 1st met mccarthy in 1903 during the post-human exhibition in hamburg in the dive to holland i'm amazed at the creations that he and his sizeable team come up with and be here on zion moses team. this is paul mccartney is a version of a pirate ship made and here he's created a traumatized version of disney's 7 dwarves. they have a somewhat demented look as they stare back at their observers. this culture references westerns again he distorts the myths of american movie making. mccarthy's numbers up to 40 people and includes sculptors engineers and carpenters who turn his visions into reality here a group of experts are working on a silicon replica of mccarthy's own body. will you use the perfect knowledge part of that motion picture industry also all 3 parks all those kind of stuff it really functions work on the people and ball.

i think it is pretty clear, i've covered congress and kevin mccarthy, i don't think he actually believed's saying and what the truth is and what is really in the i.g. report but tell us what the inspector general's report said. >> it doesn't say anything of what leader mccarthy just said. so it doesn't establish there was a break-in or a coup or spying on the president. what it established was that for the key investigative decisions the i.g. found no evidence that there was any political bias or improper motivation that caused people to make those decisions. and i'm talking about opening the main investigation, opening the sub-investigations on the various individuals, seeking the fisa, receiving and using the steele dossier information or using the human sources. so it is just not true that there was a break-in, a cover-up or spying on the political campaign. >> one of the findings that was incredibly alarming and made you wonder what was the fbi doing but it also gave credence to how i guess objective this report was and what you just named about the findings that you could hang your

what the ig report specifically said about these allegations that mccarthy repeated that the fbi did try to recruit members of the trump campaign as confidential human sources, did not send sources to collect information in trump campaign headquarters or trump campaign spaces. and did not ask them to join the trump campaign or otherwise attend campaign-related events as part of the investigation. nonetheless, in addition to the video you just saw of kevin mccarthy, he doubled down and tweeted the same thing. he tweeted this. the fbi broke into president trump's campaign, spied on him and then tried to cover it up. this is a modern day watergate. senator santorum, why is kevin mccarthy lying. >> i don't think he is. >> yes he is, sir. >> explain why he is. >> john, let me explain. what kevin is referring to is the fact that they were using -- they used fisa to get into carter page's and wiretap and get information and, of course, he was talking to people at the trump campaign on occasion. and that's, quote, breaking in, using a false -- i mean, if the ig report is clear about anything

, i joined mccarthy campaign because of the freelance writer knew couldn't do that much, and mccarthy -- bobby kennedy would do it mccarthy would. and one things he always said that mcnamara, you might remember and 66 have lowered the educational standards of the war. he was called the project 100,000. the idea was to get more people with 65 to 90 iq in the army he would be more congenial and more willing to do what you want. mccarthy used to call it a change the color of the corpses. to get fewer white people, and more hispanic and african-american people in the war. because obviously, those people are in educational assistance then and now, give them much less of a chance with less money spent. nothing's changed about that and that's not gonna happen. when i got to go there i would spend a week. so nixon told everybody he had a secret plan to end the war. but it turned out it was to win it. and he began him back channel. it was 69 in the middle of the year end he was signaling to the north that he was going to be different. he ordered the strategic air command on absolute high contr

and with that, i'll turn it over to our republican leader, kevin mccarthy. >> thank you, steve. >> good morning. you know, back in 2016, the democrats called those who supported donald trump deplorables. and now they're trying to disqualify their votes. democrats still could not get over the fact that the president won the election and they lost. just last week at this podium, nancy pelosi went to point out that they created a timeline to impeach president trump, that she said started two and a half years ago. many of you know of this timeline, because once they took the majority, they had to decide who would become chairs of their committee. the impeachment committee in the judiciary, who could win? jerry nadler campaigned on that he would be the very strongest member to lead a potential impeachment. on the day of swearing in, these new freshman that gave him the majority, a mere few hours after being sworn in, congresswoman talib proclaimed, we are going to impeach the mother. you had al green admitting that the democrats have true fears if they do not impeach president trump that he

mccarthy: madam speaker, i must warn you, i'm about to say something my democratic colleagues hate to hear. donald j. trump is president of the united states. he is president today. he'll be president tomorrow. and he will be president when his impeachment is over. madam speaker, when they accept that, maybe this house can get back to work for the american people. tonight i rise not as the leader of the opposition to this impeachment, or as the elected representative from the central valley of california. i rise as kevin mccarthy, citizen. 435etter, no worse than the representatives that are in this chamber. or the 330 million americans watching this institution make what i believe is to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made. it doesn't matter whether you're a democrat or a republican, whether you're liberal or conservative, whether you're the first generation or the 10th, at our core we are all americans. all of us. we choose our future. we choose what kind of nation we want to be. here's our choice tonight. will we let impeachment become an exercise of raw political power,

we'll talk to house minority leader kevin mccarthy after these quick messages.tay with us. [ electrical buzzing ] [ dramatic music ] ahhhh! -ahhhh! elliott. you came back! some people say that's ridiculous. i dress how i feel. yesterday i felt bold with boundless energy. this morning i woke up calm and unbreakable. tomorrow? who knows. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real. what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website. make the world you want. lou: the dow jones, and crude oil down nearly half a percent. 59 a barrel. gold gaining almost a percent. despite calls from president trump to cut interest rates, the federal reserve leaving the fed benchmark interest rate unchanged. assuring he expects to keep interest rates where they are through the next year as well. a remind tore listen to my reports coast to coast on the salem radio network. president trump signed an executive order to crock down against anti-semitism on college campuses. his order classified je -- classifies judaism as a race. he ordered two unive
