mr. boehner: the house and the senate have passed a budget. we've been moving appropriation bills in the house according to that budget. and that continues to be the plan. questioner: about planned parenthood, mr. speaker, do you buy the explanation that transfers of human tissue go on frequently, have gone on for decades, they're nothing unusual and that they were discussing reimbursement, which is allowable and provided for under the law? do you buy that? mr. boehner: if you saw the video, it certainly didn't strike me that way. i could talk about the video, but i think i'd vomit trying to talk about it. it's disgusting. questioner: mr. speaker mr. flores is just next door calling on the congress to pass a religious freedom bill in wake of the same-sex marriage ruling. is that a bill that you support, you want to bring on the floor? what do you say to members of your party who say this may make it difficult to move on from the same-sex marriage issue? mr. boehner: you know, the supreme court's decision on marriage raises a lot of other questi

mr. boehner: i wonder if you brought her emails.

[inaudible] mr. boehner: we had a very good meeting with the chairman last week and frankly the week before. and there's a lot of issues, moving parts around here. and i think he understands it may not have been his preference but clearly the congress' preference in terms of how we proceed. spending was offset by other reductions in mandatory spending. a good relationship. we'll keep working at it. the president called me last night told me i should expect an agreement was, in his words, imminent. i was skeptical. thank you. fun fun -- [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] >> latest person to key dee claire for the presidency, republican governor, wisconsin go

mr. boehner requesting we the legislators, address immigration.i know the flavor up here is we don't want to make it too contentious before the presidential primary. that's what happens. so many times things get punted to the next election instead of saying, these are tough issues but the american people sent us up here to solve these. let's solve them and have the debate. the letter going to mr. boehner saying the representatives of the people want to have that debate. we want to direct that debate. if we don't is what happens is you'll get another presidential executive order. the judge's ruling may be overruled on the immigration issue. i don't want to wait until another one of our citizens gets killed by somebody that shouldn't be in this country. that's a national security issue. why are we not dealing with that? you talk about the debt ceiling. we haven't had a discussion in our conference on how we're going to deal with the debt ceiling when it comes up. you know what happened in september of 2013. the government shut down. we don't want to

mr. boehner wanted to honor the five servicemembers for their courageous service. the question lingers whether the white house will do the same. we expect to hear from the president on this issue ten minutes or some this comes as new information from about the accused gunman and fox news exclusive from one of the shooting scenes. john roberts is live with more. john? >> reporter: jenna, good morning. let's head to the flag issue. i talk with chattanooga mayor andy beaker, what he white house should do. he deferred to the white house and do with their protocols. a lot of complaints in chattanooga from lack of leadership from the white house. wondering why the flag was lowered because of other tragedy, they haven't lowered because of five servicemembers slain here. the first we her on sunday morning a self-styled street preacher gave a service and went off on the president. listen. >> why is the flag not on half-staff right now? why is the white house lit up, red, white and blue? >> reporter: obviously a lot of emotion here particularly because across chattanooga and

mr. boehner's special interest -- excuse me, leadership pac ran ads against the republicans that were againstigration issue. >> it seems like it will be a big battle to pull together the votes to pull this off. is this more symbolic than you think it's going to work? >> kate, the way i look at this is that we go home for the summer break, i hope that the american people who in my district don't have a lot of respect for the speaker of the house, they don't think he's a good leader. he's probably a good person, i'll give him that. but no, no. i think this thing has got legged to it. i don't know how long those legs are but i think it has legs. >> we will see. congressman, thank you very much for your time. i'm very much looking forward to hearing from speaker boehner in his reaction to this and what's going on in his conference as he's set to speak later today. thank you so much congressman and thank you all for joining us at this hour. >>> "legal view" starts right now. >>> hello, everyone, i'm randi kaye in for ashleigh banfield. welcome to "legal view." and we begin with donald trump in dam

mr. boehner that we are losing jobs right now as a result of our failure to extend the authorization of the export-import bank past june 30. the gentleman knows i believe that 165000 jobs are at risk. the indian director of their export-import bank is quoted as saying in the paper just the other day, that he believes they're going to pick up jobs and orders because of the failure of the export-import bank to be re-authorized. i think this is not something that is not real. it's a loss of jobs and a loss of competitive status for our country if we do not re-authorize this and do so as quickly as possible. so i'll keep asking the question because i feel it's so very important to our country. and to our competitiveness. but i appreciate the gentleman's faithfulness in his answer but i'm hopeful it will change. unless he wants to say something further, i yield back. mr. mccarthy: we'll keep repealing obamacare i yield back. mr. hoyer: i didn't notice obamacare had been repealed. i simply noticed it was a constitutional -- the supreme court said it was a constitutional piece of legislation. i yi

mr. boehner said recently we don't mess around this with, it's very fragile. >> as mr. mondale has suggested in the crucible of fear the constitution can take on malleable proportions. and i think we begin to bounce back. and i think the times are achanging. i think we are in the middle right now of something of a sea change back toward the liberties side in this balance between security and liberty and the house vote is good evidence of this. and i would imagine. i certainly can't prove it but i imagine the comments made by ron widen and udahl has helped feed into that change that we're now seeing. so i'm a little more optimistic. >> could i reply to that, please? >> sure. >> get a little dialogue going here. good to hear different points of view. i'll take on the brandon institute on this. i believe the usa freedom act is a red herring. and it is pretty much crafted by the administration to distract attention from everything else they are doing. they are giving up what admittedly is an ineffective program and still maintaining ties into it. the bill is riddled with pr

interviewer: do you feel that speaker boehner has an open door policy? mr. ratcliffe: i do. he has tried to persuade me to his point of view. sometimes i have supported that. sometimes i have not. i have tried to make the decisions that are best and most effective for this 700,000 texans i am privileged to represent. if that decision and that vote coincides with what the speaker wants them a that is great. if it is not then he needs to understand that i got to go different way. so far i have communicated that and he seems to be accepting of that fact. interviewer: you talk about money and help -- politics and some say there is too much money in politics. what is your view? mr. ratcliffe: i have tried to focus on the things that i have the ability to change. i will let others do with much money is being spent with respect to campaigns. it seems and healthy to me -- unhealthy to me, but the realities are what they are at present. i have to generate a lot of income from outside groups and support to have the opportunity. as you know, it is very rare to beat an incumbent in your

but over the last months, speaker boehner mr. mccarthy, have all made clear that a deal that had what apeers peerappears to be the outlines of this deal. >> as a member of the intelligence committee, will you have a hearing on this deal? >> multiple hearings. we've already had a number as in the ramp-up. and it's where -- it's what we're seeing. we've seen this administration continually refuse to acknowledge that the iranians continue to spread terror throughout the world and think they can deal with these folks. that somehow sitting down at a table and spending months is victory. they measured not outcomes, but hard work and simply wasn't enough. they didn't get what america needed in this deal. >> first call is from steve in indiana. go ahead, please. you're on with our guest, mike pompeyo. >> caller: good morning gentlemen. can you hear me? >> yeah. go ahead. >> caller: okay. yeah. the gentleman here made his opinion. he already admitted his opinion for the president and come out this morning and said, what's going on. he's a

mr. rogers and speaker boehner. and then i noticed that the parliamentiarn was called off the floor to discuss something. so our antenna was up. and then we were presented with an amendment that you couldn't tell what it was going to do. but the staff on the appropriations committee was very quick to point out what it was doing. the huffman amendment, which was adopted by the whole house banned the sale of confederate flag items, and the amendment that was offered by chairman calvert was a direct attempt to negate this important amendment. it also went as far as to block the june 24th national parks memorandum into law, which is what mr. huffman was doing. it even tied the agency's hands to take any action against concessionaires and other partners who would ignore the park service request to voluntarily withdraw the confederate flag sale items. and then it went further. it started moving towards really keeping us from having our voice expressed to the house. not transparent and clear in what it's doing is an amendm

boehner's turn. >> i disagree with mr. trump's comments. frankly i think when you look at the presidential candidates, they have all pretty well made their position clear. this has become the biggest political football i've seen in my political career, this issue of immigration and what to do about it. >> here is the thing to understand about donald trump. he seems to be popular, leads in a poll, leads it. he's been near the top of other polls. in this incredibly diffuse field it doesn't do much to do well at the campaign. he's historically unpopular candidate. polls show a whopping 57% of republicans have an unfavorable view of trump. the numbers among all voters are worse. one may poll showed net favorability rating among all voters minus 55, far worse than any other candidate. a february poll showed vladimir putin his favorability rating minus 58 just three points worse than trump. makes you wonder how putin would poll in the republican field. when we come back the freak out over trump and campaign to get companies to drop him. stay with

speaker of the house john boehner renews his demand for mrs.clinton to turn over her private server to an independent investigator. it comes after new revelations from two federal watchdogs suggesting there may have been a breach of national security on the personal e-mail server used by then-secretary of state hillary clinton. they have referred the matter to the fbi. fox news senior political analyst brit hume joins us tonight. so this wound up being a media issue, but what i just said it true. this has been referred to the fbi to see whether she had classified information on there that she never should have had and the calls are growing for her to turn over the server and come clean once and for all with the american people. what do you make of it? >> well more specifically megyn, this referral by the watchdogs were inspectors general. and i don't think they quite referred to the fbi just to determine whether she had classified information in her e-mails. they determined that themselves. they looked at only 40 out of thousands of e-mails and

turf war extended to capitol hill because some of the gop like house speaker john boehner jumping on this story calling on mrston to turn over her server. she has said we heard her, welcomes an examination of all relevant e-mailings. do you think the clinton camp can characterize this as partisan politics and is it partly that? >> it is partly partisan politics i think a lot of what you see from the benghazi committee in the house and existence is partisan politics. the one piece that is not partisan politics is the question of what's on all of those -- what was on her server that got wiped clean before she handed over the rest of the e-mails to the state department? but the republican message gets lost a little bit in focusing on the set of e-mails that were turned over to the state department and what is unlikely to yield anything mind blowing or illegal since she reviewed them before she gave them to the state department. >> let's get to pure politics the kuwaitest quinnipiac poll. three states represented here. and it shows mrs. clinton behind three gop rivals in a hypothetical head to head. colorado, vir

i'm going to play something that speaker boehner said and get your reaction on the other side. >> listen i disagree with mrs comments and, frankly, i think when you look at the presidential candidates, they've all pretty well made their position clear. this has become the biggest political football i've seen in my congressional career. this whole issue of illegal immigration and what to do about it. >> sam there is no doubt that there are republican jitters. just how nervous is the party about trump? >> i mean if you look at the autopsy that priebus put together after the 2012 election, big chunk of it was about broadening the party's appeal to different democratic bases, specifically hispanic americans. if you look at comments john boehner made after the 2012 elections it was about, you know showing an attitude toward the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform. if you look at the how right wing media approached it after the 2012 elections it was all about realizing the necessity for immigration reform. for them to go from that to this point where donald trump is essentially dominating the politic

mr. speaker let me quote the speaker of this house john boehner. quote, above all else he said as he assumed the speakership, we will welcome the battle of ideas encourage it, engage in it openly, honestly, and respectfully. as the chamber he went on to say closest to the people, he the -- the house works best when it is allowed to work its will. and he then asked all of us, i ask all members of this body to join me in recognizing this common truth. al gore, the former vice president of the united states would observe, however, that seems to be an inconvenient truth. it is an inconvenient truth because the chairman of the financial services committee representing the minority of this house is opposed to the export-import bank. he's been opposed to it since we adopted it 2012 with an overwhelming majority of vote from both sides of the aisle. as a matter of fact a unanimous vote from the democratic sliled -- side of the aisle, and over 140 members from the republican side of the aisle just three years ago. this rule makes in order, as the gentleman

boehner and senate majority leader mcconnell. joining us from kate's parnts liz sullivan and kate steinle. i'm talking to you over-the-weekend mrand you indicate you do support kate's law. why? >> well, i support kate's law because it would be a legacy in her name and her death would not go unnoticed we're an a political family. we keep up with politics because we're citizens of the united states. and, you know, we feel the federal, state and cities, their laws are here to protect us but we feel that this particular set of circumstances and the people involved the different agencies let us down. we are just a little tired of the finger pointing and want to see some action and if kate's law saves one person then it is all for good. >> that's very well said, mr. steinle. ms. sullivan, that's exactly what i was trying to do. if it saves one american family that does not have to go through ms. sullivan what you are going through right now, then kate's law is worth it. it should be done. it's only fair. and our laws are supposed to protect us not only foreign felons from domestic felons. i think it will happen. that is one of the re

mr. president, i'd like to share a few lines from an opinion piece speaker boehner wrote last week. here's how it began: "in november the american people decided to entrust republicans with control of the u.s. senate where commonsense jobs bills too often went to die in recent years. now since the start of this year the republican majority in the u.s. house finally has a willing partner in our work on behalf of the american people. it's an opportunity we haven't let go to waste. the speaker is hard hardly the only one had a feels good about a new senate that's back to washing for the american people. the state work period was a reminder of just that. over the past week kentuckians repeated similar sentiments at events i attended across the commonwealth. no surprise that our constituents would feel this way because the american people see signs of more open debate in the new senate. they see more opportunities for senators in both parties to take a stake in the legislative process. they see us passing bills they see committees working again. quite a bit of bipartisan reform legislati

boehner who was instrumental in making this come about and happen. so i now yield to senator blumenthal then senator mccain and then senator blunt. senator blumenthal. mr blumenthal: thank you mr. chairman the chairman. veterans' affairs committee has correctly and appropriately stated what our goal is in seeking this transfer of funding, a goal that will be fulfilled by the bill coming to us from the house. it is, in fact, coming to us from the house you but as chairman isakson as very correctly stated it is the result of an initiative that he -- and i've been very proud to join him in this effort -- initiated with the v.a. secretary in our meeting last week and the leadership of the the house has joined in that effort. i'm proud and honored to be his partner in this effort which is absolutely necessary to continue the v.a.'s health care programs because this transfer of $3.4 billion is required by the fact that the community in care programs of the v.a. will in effect exhaust their revenue stream unless we enable the v.a. to use some of this choice funding in this effort. it is necessary to permit v.a. programs and veterans to have access to money th

mr. speaker house democrats today passed legislation called the equality act to amend the civil rights act to prohibit discrimination against lgbt people. would you support this? speaker boehner: i haven't seen details of this but i'll take a look at it. >> there's an act called the donald trump act. what do you think about that? speaker boehner: we have a horrible tragedy that was preventable. cities do not have the right to ignore federal law that require them to incarcerate people who commit serious felonies. >> regarding the appropriations process, when the senate was taken by republicans, you went out of your way to say there wasn't going to be a shutdown or a debt ceiling fight yet we seem to be heading toward the possibility of those two things by the end of the year. speaker boehner: no, we're not. >> what are your plans in terms of the c.r.? for how long and what levels? assuming you'd want to do a c.r.? speaker boehner: we'll see. >> with what you know at this point are you going to use the appropriations process to gut planned parenthood funding? speaker boehner: there's an investigation under way and i expect that there will be hearings. and after that process dev

mr. speaker, the problem with that suggestion, ma the -- the majority leader makes is, the export-import bank will be out of business. and if that happens, speaker boehner has said, it's going to adversely effect jobs in america. it will adversely affect the ability of small, medium and large businesses to sell our goods overseas. by people working here in america. the export-import bank is about jobs. and to simply let it twist in the wind and let it be unauthorized simply because of inattention, when it has the majority of votes on this floor, mr. speaker, i've said that over and over again and have not been contradicted. there are 60 republicans who sponsored the export-import bank's re-authorization. there are 188 democrats or at least 185 democrats who will vote for it. that's 249 votes. all you need is 21. there is no doubt that the -- 218. there is no doubt that the export-import bank has the votes to pass this house and the senate. and yet we fiddle while jobs are being burned. mr. speaker that's not good policy for our country. not good policy for our workers. it's not good policy for our businesses. for our exporters. it makes us uncompetitive

mrs. boxer: would the senator yield for a question? i would love to get this thing done in five minutes. but have -- has my friend received confirmation from speaker boehner that he would take up the bill tomorrow? my understanding is the reason they've moved up their -- and this is not -- this is what i've heard. i can't swear to t i don't to it. but what i've heard is they're moving their adjournment up from thursday to wednesday so they can escape having to take up our bill. does my friend believe if they get this bill done tomorrow that they would stay 24 hours and deal with our bill? mr. inhofe: reclaiming my time, i don't know what they would do. i would just say that if we don't finish it until they're already gone, then we know what happens. but i still think that can be done. there is a sense of urgency. we've worked long and hard. people are saying that they haven't had time to get into this thing. we passe

essentially speaker boehner made the decision that they weren't going to have the debate on the house floor and they weren't going to subject a lot of members to that particular vote right now. >> so, mrfuller so let me put you on pause for a second. we have the speaker's statement from yesterday as part of this debate. let's listen to what he had to say and continue on. >> our members rightly tried to address the concerns yesterday in a way that was consistent with how the obama administration has handled this issue. i frankly supported the goal of trying to work with all the parties to address their concerns, but listen, we all witnessed the people of charleston and the people of south carolina come together in a respectful way to deal with frankly what was a very horrific crime and a difficult issue with the confederate flag. i actually think it's time for some adults here in the congress to actually sit down and have a conversation about how to address this issue. i do not want this to become some political football. it should not. >> mr. fuller, though will this become a political football do you think? >> it already has. you know, even by then. so they pulled the bill but the th

mr. speaker. in march, i was honored to join speaker boehner on a congressional trip to jordan in order to discuss the growing threat to that region. i had previously gone there on my own codel, and now going back in march i would see how much isil has created an even greater threat to the hashemite kingdom of jordan and the refugee crisis continued to build up for the kingdom of jordan. and we expressed our appreciation to his majesty for his steadfast commitment to support his efforts to fight this isil threat and help him with the burden of the refugees. and the king reiterated again his commitment to defeating isil and the need for more assistance from the international community and we told him that we would do what we could do ensure that he had all of the tools needed to win this fight against isil. and since the coalition campaign against isil began, mr. speaker, the terror group has made great gains in iraq, in syria. it has expanded its influence across the globe to places like libya, tunisia, to sinai europe and even here in the united states. so congress needs to do our part. we need t

mr. president i'm one of the two people left in the congress that had something to do with no child left behind. the other one is john boehner the speaker of the house. i'll never forget that night in 2001 in the basement of the capital after we finally came to an agreement on no child left behind. i was talking about how proud we were but knew if we didn't get it fixed by the end of the sixth year it would go from being a positive change in education to a negative. it's now 13 years later. we've gone seven years without a reauthorization and what became a good goal of meeting adequate yearly progress, setting standards for schools remediating schools in trouble has become a bill that 80% of the school systems have to ask for waivers to even operate on. it's a bill that no longer is doing what it was intended to do for the education of our children and i commend senator alexander and senator murray for the unbelievably good work they've done to bring the bill to the floor today. i've participated in all the hearings as did the president of the senate, the presiding officer. you know what i know what that we brought about com
