mrs. brooks: thank you, mr. speaker.closing, i would like to emphasize that as my colleague, the ranking member from new jersey, indicated, we have made real strides this week in turning back the epidemic, but we agree it's not enough. and it's not over. this fight is not going to be over. there is still more to be done. but i do hope that this week's productivity will lead to more weeks where we can continue to engage in the healthy and robust debate about the issues that matter. this week has proven we are stronger as a body when we focus on the things that unite us and bring us together. sadly it shouldn't take a epidemic or national crisis to bring us together. this week has taught us that with enough will and dedication we can get to yes. the conference committee wishes this bill will initiate will need similar forward to come to a resolution on the differences we have with the senate. that accomplishment is within our grasp. we have come too far to turn back now and let this -- rather than let this issue languish.

mr. brooks. >> thank you mr. chairman. i want to emphasize something. the issue is not the dreamers or folks that are often called illegal aliens. the issue is national secure and whether americans and lawful immigrants are meeting america's national security needs. right now everybody on this committee understands that there's reductions enforced to the tunes of tens of thousands depending on the time frame talked about and american and lawful immigrants in uniform are getting pink slips as american military is being cut by the thousands and tens of thousands of positions. right now all recruitment and reenlistment needs of all branches of the united states military are being met by american and lawful immigrants that seek to serve america in the armed forces. if the day should come when national security notes and given that american and lawful immigrants that we not deny them the positions that are available. i support the chairmans substitute amendment. >> when we need a skill set that we don't have we are able to get that not necessarily from unite

mr. seiko, you need to respond to me. so we know you are all right. let's go a little bit more. okay. okay. >> joel brookslt. his adversary, john seiko, is serving a six-year sentence for sexual assault. our cameras were there when officers interrogated them about the fight. >> what was this all about? >> well, he's a rapist. i was talking with an inmate in the meal line about it with him. >> you were talking about his crime with a prisoner. >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. >> i was talking with a prisoner about him being a rapist. he came up to me and he said, you ain't [ bleep ]. and i said, you're not. >> i told him to stop talking about me and i repeated it. and he said, what are you going to do? and i repeated it again, stop talking about me. and then he walked up to me in my face and said, now what are you going to do? >> five minutes later he bum rushed me. >> don't come at me. >> slammed me against the wall. >> i put my hand in his face. i don't know what i did after that. >> he starts scratching my face. i grabbed him around the waist and threw him on the floor and hit him twice in self-defense to get him

. >> reporter: and, brooke, what he is referring is the green card that is -- that his representatives of mrs donation legal. we do know that it's an active ongoing investigation and we'll see where it goes from here. >> thank you so much. on the virginia governor. meantime, if bernie sanders is now questioning the results in that kentucky premare and predicting a messy convention, when's the senator's end game here? we'll discuss. >>> i remember way, way back in the 1990s as my husband might say -- i mean, we did have 23 million new jobs. we did have incomes rising for everybody, not just those at the top. we did lift more people out of poverty than in any time in our recent history. >> hmm. hillary clinton there on the stage, commerce, california. the big california primary june 7th. so, speaking there, talking about the '90s and a different form and fashion as her presumed opponent donald trump has. we'll get to that in a second. kentucky secretary of state agreeing to recanvas the state's democratic primary. bernie sanders pushed for it after coming in less than 1 percentage point of hil

brooke, back to you. >> all right. joe johns, thank you very much. mr. mudd, you want to jump in?ved there, it's not just pedestrian tourist activity. the number of political demonstrations in this area is very high. some of which are permanent in the park across the street. i'm not a mental health specialist but i pass by there every day on my lunch break. the number of folks that have mental disorders is high. if you mix that with people pulling out cameras to take pictures, people demonstrating against the president and other causes, the pressure on the perimeter security guys when someone comes up with a weapon is very high. it's not surprising to say if somebody is brand dishing a weapon we're going to shoot them because there's so much pressure and activity around that area that they are going to be on a hair trigger. >> just because someone is mentally ill, to say -- >> when they approach you, it's quite evident that they have a few issues. >> miles o'brien, you've been sitting here risening to all of this. thoughts? >> what is worth remembering here, this is the people's h

brooke, i do not have thin skin. if you work for donald trump or be in his presence, you have got to be able to realize that gender is not a job qualification. mrhires you or surrounds himself with you because you are good at what you are. whether that's you're a model and beautiful, whether that is you work for his campaign and professional speaker. whatever it is. he puts you in a position to exceed. and to succeed. and no, i would not have any -- i would not be upset if they said you put on pounds if i did. >> to be fair there's positive anecdotes as a woman, i think worked for him for 16 years, he talked about i guess mr. trump she had put on weight and she interpreted it as friendly encouragement, donna brazile. >> right. >> do you see this as eye of the beholder? >> well, as you know, women have been subjected to the kind of taunt and crude remarks for centuries and from men who employed them to look a certain way, walk a certain way, dress a certain way and then if you look at the classic definition of sexual harassment one could argue maybe he did cross the line if some of these statements are true. look. we have spent most of today --

brooks burton. i also work close with mr.ra and the staff there and i was one of the strongest advocates to suggest that city-wide we should proat the time and preserve the culture, history and integrity of all neighborhoods throughout this city in the bay area because every neighborhood has its own original, unique and distinct characteristics a and i want to speak, we came here from georgia to california and san francisco in 1957 i attended sir francis drake elementary school, now malcolm x. academy. since i was a young man i was always impressed by the business people and pastors and everyone in the community, elder and i learned a lot truly enriched with wisdom. a lot of pioneers and trail blazers are dying off and i think people in the community around the neighborhood they call me the historian and a poet because i chronicle and document the history of our people and everybody for over 50 years. it's so important, like -- i got a chance to meet a lot of people like mosai hardware going on 80 years, archie reynolds, club

mr. trump has made it abundantly clear he's undergoing a routine audit. and upon conclusion of that audit he will release the tax returns. but per the advice of counsel -- >> brookeright -- >> that's available on the website. >> that's crazy. a presidential candidate on the advice of counsel will not release his taxes that sounds like he's on trial for tax fraud. he's got dozens of accountants he can do the audit and release the taxes at the same point. >> haley isn't answering the question. she must not be up to speed on what's happening in the trump campaign -- >> totally -- >> she's not answering the question, she's resorting to childish attacks. because it's indefensible. here's the thing, brooke, donald trump is a noted conspiracy theorist whose has demanded the president release his birth certificate based on wild conspiracy theories. what does he have to hide? he probably has debts to the russians and foreig countries. he isn't worth as much as he says. he gives nothing to charity. this is why he's not doing it. and haley has no defense of this so she just attacks mitt romney which is not relevant at all to the conversation. >> haley, you can understand al

mr. trump definitely managed to frustrate a lot of people but not my next guest, carlos limon supporting donald trump for president and an adviser to trump's national diversity coalition. carlos, welcome. >> hi, brookeg me. >> you saw the numbers in hou houston chronicle this morning. the anger generated by candidate, they want to vote against him. they want citizenship. how do you respond to that? >> definitely. i'm mexican. born and raised. i read the article this morning. and just like them, i mean, they have the right to do what's best but i think mr. trump and them are being victims of the hispanic media. mexican media, this comes from mentixico and manipulated information. mr. trump, i met him a couple of weeks ago, and he's not the things that people say. >> hold on. are you saying the manipulated the numbers in the houston chronicle article are manipulated? >> we're mexicans and emotional. sitting on the couch watching mr. trump say his ideas and campaign, it didn't offend me. i knew exactly, you know, it took a very little common sense to figure out he doesn't believe all of us mexicans are criminals, rapists. but the media, the media especially mexican hispanic media here and in mexico the

brooke baldwin. donald trump is not only the presumptive nominee, he's the only republican candidate remaining in the race which raises the question, hmm works will his running might be? mrampaign is currently vetting several names. >> i think that i will say that i probably will go the political route. i have the business, let's call them talents, and i think i'll probably go the political route, somebody that can help me with legislation and somebody that can help me get things passed and somebody that's been friends with the senators and the congressmen and all so we don't have to go -- so we don't have to go the executive order route as much as obama did where he can't get anything approved so he keeps signing executive orders. >> as for vice president joe biden, he weighed in on all of this. >> mr. vice president, trump is now the presumptive nominee. any comments about -- any regrets about not getting in the race? >> anticipating the last meeting as a vice president. i have nothing serious to say. >> i have nothing serious to say. here he is, jim acosta, cnn's senior white house correspondent who i never get to see in person because you're traveling all over the pl

brooke. it means the world that you would reach out to me. i hope everyone is doing well today. >> i hope you are doing excellently. i have a feeling you have been. mrduate. how -- how did you do that? >> you know, i wanted to make sure i represented my peers in the best way i could. spoken word poetry a huge part of my identity for a listening time and to be the most authentic self i would have to do a spoken word piece if i were to patient in the speech competiti competition. >> what is this you mentioned at the top of the speech speaking for your high school graduation, your english teacher wanted to yank you because they heard you were going to do a poem? >> yeah. so, i had just started experimenting with spoken word poetry and excited about it. taked to a few of my peers and just kind of threw it out there to see if they thought it would be interesting if i did a spoken word poem in my remarks and it wasn't necessarily taken so well by the administration and some of the teachers so we opted not to do that but it's ironic that you ask that, the teacher in question reached out to me and we had a good laugh about it and everything is good. it was

mr. speaker, raising awareness in our communities that human trafficking is not merely an international phenomena. it unfortunately happens all too often in our backyards. just as we have heard judge poe and talk about brook, and the stories could go on and on. in my home state of ohio, for example, each year an estimated 1,000 children become victims of human trafficking. and over 3,000 more are at risk. ohio is the fifth leading state for human trafficking because of its proximity to waterways that lead to an international border and i-75 interstate that allows anyone to exit the state within two hours to almost anywhere. lastly, i am very thankful for having amazing advocates in ohio for victims of human trafficking. like theresa flores, the founder of soap, save oured a less enlts from prostitution, -- save oured a less enlts from profit -- our adolescents from prostitution, and a member of the ohio house of representatives, who has made a lifetime commitment working to protect our victims. we must remain vigilant in the implementation of jvta, as we were when we passed it, so every child, every woman and man is free from this form of modern day slavery, which is why i am proud to have joined judge po
