yesterday we had mike lee's phones blowing up.d kirsten gillibrand and they were getting 2, 3,000 phone calls an hour. the american people support us. the american people like us are fed up. >> let me actually play you what mitch mcconnell just said about the timing of how all this will go. listen. >> i think the short answer is we're going to pass the 9/11 emergency bill. we always deal with this tragedy and we will do that and we will do it shortly. >> shortly. >> well, listen, i've been in constant contact with mitch mcconnell's office ever since we had that meeting and i don't agree with mitch mcconnell's politic but he's probably been the most honest person and most sincere person since in that meeting. and i take his word now we're going to get this done and we're going to have a clean bill. and we're going to walk away the victor. and again we're not going to celebrate when we get this bill passed. we lost two people in the last two days. we continue -- >> in the last two days? >> craw, we lost a firefighter and a detective

mike lee, we met in his office five years ago. eye, he looked ray pfeiffer in the eye, who unfortunately is no longer with us, and said he was going to look into it. he is the reason that we had to go back again for this new one and now he wants to put another cap on it that's going to make john feal and all his other tenacious yet ill first responders drag themselves back to washington to put their hats in their hands and beg for something that this country should have done 14 years ago. it's an abomination. >> bret: we asked both senators for a statement. senator paul's office sent a statement saying "senator paul is not blocking anything. he's simply seeking to pay for it as with any belt, senator paul always believes it needs to be paid for. senator paul is simply offering an amendment to pay for this legislation." after all that you've said here, and attending the funeral of your colleague luis alvarez, john feal, that's not where you are. >> no, listen, senator paul and senator lee are opportunists, they are bottom feeders i

i think what mike lee and rand paul did is nothing less than theater. and i think it's a shame that they'd use this proposal to allegedly make a point of principle which i view as just a theatrical stunt knowing there's overwhelming support for it. >> overwhelming support there should be, and there is. harold schaitberger, thanks very much. we'll keep watching the senate floor and we'll bring you updates on the vote live. >>> up next, joe biden under attack following his full flip on the '90s crime bill he helped create. i didn't have to call yor wife to meet you at the doctor. because you didn't have another dvt. not today. we discussed how having one blood clot puts you at risk of having another,... ...so we chose xarelto®, to help keep you protected. xarelto®, is proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt or pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical trials, almost 98% of people did not have another dvt or pe. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor,

also mike lee. funded on ten-year cycles to line up with the ten-year congressional budgetary cycle. but here's the deal. this is important. for those first responders, those men and women who rushed into the towers and who were there for weeks and months helping to clean up that pile, they, as they've been going through treatments, have had to come back from new york. new york to washington, back and forth, to in effect beg members of congress to give them the money that they are entitled to. i've been covering this story since 2015. back then it was called the zadroga act. you've had the same reauthorization fight come up. and today, in the course of our reporting, i talked to a guy, he's a member of the nypd, now retired. but he was there on 9/11. and he now has cancer in seven parts of his body. he was there in the pile in the days later he was responsible for identifying the remains of his brothers and sisters in the police force. he now has cancer in seven parts of his body. he's going through

you might remember mike lee and rand paul, were worried about the overall cost on that.ied to get mitch mcconnell to comment on that and he said, we're gonna get these victims the compensation they deserve. so probably in about 35 minutes they'll start that roll call vote. the senate will have voted to approve the bill, they will be in alignment of the house and the measure will go to president trump to sign into law, julie. >> julie: thank you very much. you're the best. >> thank you. thank you. >> julie: new video showing -- as part of an interior enforcement operation. in fact, since midmay, ice has arrested almost 900 immigrants with final deportation orders. out of those, 605 already had criminal convictions. last weekend alone, 35 people were arrested in raids across ten cities. >>> well, for years, millions of americans have been taking aspirin daily to prevent heart disease. why researchers are now saying millions should not. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up

it was held up by senators rand paul and mike lee.trage from both sides of the aisle. deroy murdoch and rick ungar joined me right now. you are a fiscal conservative. >> i am. charles: was that a mistake by mike lee and rand paul? this felt like a republican issue. all of sudden democrats demanding the first-responders are taken care of and republicans holding it up? >> i really wish, i'm losing my voice, i do the best i can here. i would love to see as much effort as we're seeing on this directed against the soybean farmers in iowa, always bailed out. new money for them under the ethanol program and so on. the gop makes a mistake when they go after spending for people that deserve it, suffering from their response to the worst attack in this country since pearl harbor. so much corporate welfare going on, companies are bailed out. it would be a much firmer moral ground if they went up for those people that don't need the money rather than those who do. charles: we have a chart. first-responders are still dying. number well over 200, i

mike lee's office said he wanted to do oversight, make sure there wasn't waste. now we're told the senators have come to an agreement and next hour, so in the 4:00 hour washington time, senator paul will be on this network, rand paul will be the guest of neil cavuto on "your world." that program begins in 16 minutes. a fox urgent from south florida. no water for 24 to 36 hours because of this. that is a warning to folks in an around ft. lauderdale and broward county after a contractor hit a water main. the city put out an order immediately telling everybody to boil their water. that was as of 11:00 a.m., even before the tapping run dry, which is happening now in some areas and they expect everyone will run out of water sometime in the next few hours. the cities in broward county are lauderdale-by-the-sea, davey, tamarack, sea ranch lakes and wi willton manor. this will affect tens of thousands in ft. lauderdale itself. no water, no toilets to flush for an estimated 220,000 customers. the florida governor is sending in a couple of water trucks to help. keep in min

joining me now utah republican senator author of "our loss declaration" senator mike lee, great to see you. >> thank you, guy. guy: so let's talk about this coming cliff, again lunching from crise -- lurching from crises to crisis, the white house is involved, what should happen in mike lie coul lee coue his way. >> stop dilutes ourselves, we're playing with fire, this is a ticking time bomb, overtime it will harm us if we don't address it. sooner or later, our mounting national debt am get to point where the interest on debt is unsustainable. we will not be able to pay it the more we kick can down the road, greater possibility that can will hurt us, i am we should start right now by enacting some type of a permanent structural spending reform, difficult for congress to circumvent like a balance bottom amendment that would move constitutional threshold, goal post for future debt ceiling increases. guy: that would lead to tax increase? >> i would be worried about that, in the balance budget amendment that i proposed, it would require a super majority vote in congress, any time you want

>> reporter: both these republican amendments failed in the end, one was from mike lee.about the cost. and his amendment would have capped the amount of money available, the second amendment from rand paul, that would have cut from other areas of the budget to pay for this reauthorization of the 9/11 fund. both of those amendments 235i8ed the final bill, 97 for this bill, only two votes against. so it does have the support to ultimately pass in the end. this bill reauthorizes and replenishes the 9/11 victims compensation fund, that provides health care services to first responders suffering the ill effects of time at ground zero. there had been pressure on the backs. certainly that was a huge part of the debate, the fact that you heard such emotionally charged testimony from 9/11 first responders, talking about how they desperately needed this money to help them with their health care costs. certainly a big factor in this, of course, was the comedian and activist jon stewart who got involved, testified up here on capitol hill a few months ago. that really gave a boost of

>> rand paul and mike lee, what do i say about those two? only the hypocrites, bottom fielder, tunists. they voted for the trillion dollar tax cut. you can't cherry pick and choose when you want to be a fiscal conservative. shame on him. we're talking about being a good human being. >> paul tweeted that he wants to offer an amendment that he claims will help pay for it. >> the u.s. house of representatives has approved legislation to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade to $15 an hour. democrats pushed through the bill with a party line vote of 231-199. chances of it passing the republican controlled senate are low. republicans say the page hike will cost jobs. >> one-on-one with er ryan baiter. ahead of his upcoming big fight. >> plus, you've probably heard about the privacy concerns with that app that ages you. what about other apps? what you need to look out for to protect your privacy. >> here's a shot that will keep you feeling young. looking westward from emeryville, lots of blue sky and a little bit of fog dev

some, like senator mike lee of utah, told us that the bill would not provide early release to criminals, only incentivize participation in the so-called "recidivisme reduction programs." but, that turned out to be completely untrue. in less than a year, the first step act has granted early release to a lot of dangerous people, and it didn't require any of them to do anything to earn it. here is one example. in 2008, okwan white participated in an armed robbery of a brooklyn apartment. during that robbery, he and the accomplices tied up two children, including a 7-year-olddr girl. they pistol whipped a woman and threatened to kill her and her family if she didn't reveal where the cash and the drugs were hidden. every victim of the robbery had to be hospitalized. one for more than a week. white would still behe in prison right now where he deserves to be, but thanks to the first step act, he was released last week. here is the key. he didn't join any recidivism reduction program. instead, since the bill retroactively increased his good behavior credits, his sentence was simply shortened.
