mr. gutierrez, for five minutes. mr. githes: -- mr. gutierrez:rker, last week a group of about a dozen of us wrote a letter to the head of the department of homelandecitalth and human services, and the attorney general. we demanded that the trump administration cease its practice of prosecuting asylum seekers to reunite families they separated from their families. children that they separated from their familiesnd to allow members of congress to visit the facilities where the children are being held. we gave these three trump administration binet secretaries a deadline to get back to us and so far we've heard nothing. not a peep. so now we're trying to figure out how to make it clear to the um administration that his agencys are taking children from the arms of moms and dads is absolutely 100% unacceptable to us and most americans. let's look at what's going on here. in order to get more of you on that side of the aisle elected or re-elected, the president and his henchmen have devised an election year strategy to be mean as possible t

mr. gutierrez said. there have been, remain 18 outstanding indictments, five guilty pleas, from the president's deputy campaign manager, the president's former top national security adviser, among others, you have said our country was attacked in order to influence the outcome of our election. my kwirs question is, are foreign adversaries, including russia, continuing to attempt to interfere with our internet selection? >> i think the consensus of the intelligence community that russia morning other foreign powers will continue to look for ways to influence our populace. whether they would try to interfere with the election in the sense that a lot of lay people think of it, is a more of an open question. but there's plenty of information to show that they continue to look for ways to try to divide us. and sew discord, to undermine the faith of the american people in the democracy we hold so dear. >> do you recall director or deputy attorney general in all of the subpoenas and letters and demands for info

mr. gutierrez, for five minutes. mr. gutierrez: mr. speaker, i don't want to hear another member of congress to speak about family values ever again from republicans. i don't want to hear about protecting families, honoring families, putting families first because each time they invoke family values on the house floor will be a lie and a cruel lie at that. if you want to run on the president's record to keep your jobs so you can feed your family, part of the price is you have zero credibility when it comes to family values from now until forever. along the southern border, hundreds of children have been taken from their parents and hundreds have been held in border stations without sleeping rooms or adequate beding for several days in violation of federal laws that safeguard children. we are told that the number of children in the care of the agents that we put in charge is now above 11,000 children. but we don't know for sure because the government, our government, your government is not telling us what is really going on, and an over

mr. gutierrez, for five minutes. mr. gutierrez: yesterday, a group of about 30 of us, including 10 members of congress, decided we had enough of this administration policy to scar children for life by their them away from parents when they turn themselves in to american authorities and ask for asylum. we went down to the ronald reagan building on their 14th street hey turn because we cabinet members we had written last week to give us answer abouts where the children at the border have been taken to, and what our government was going to do to reunite them with their parents. john lewis, joe crowley, jan sha could you skirks al green, joined by had not heard from the three allies nt down to the c.p.b. hundred- c.b.p. headquarters -- the building of the man who gave the famous shining city n ott hill speech who spoke so eloquently about immigrants and was no fan of walls, as we blocked the entrance to the ronald reagan building, the border patrol did not arrest us. nope, they felt comfortable arresting 10-year-olds and taki

mr. gutierrez: the re-election strategy or every single member of congress is to stand strong. with a president willing to take children from their parents in order to look mean and nasty and cruel. for ildren who are fleeing their lives. you own that. that is your campaign strategy. as of today, republicans want to put the children in the same jails as the parents and fight to hold them indefinitely and demand we charge asylum seekers as criminals and jail them with their children. the more than 2,300 children who have been taken from their parents and put in a vast system, spread over thousands of miles, we just don't know if those children will ever see their families again. you own that too. that is what you are campaigning on to save your jobs this coming november. taking daca away from dreamers, that's your policy too. and then putting bills on the floor to cut legal immigration and build a wall, your strategy to blame democrats for what you are doing. republicans want to be both the arsonist and the firefighters and you can't be both. i don't blame speaker ryan and chair

mr. gutierrez, thank you for your time. the 35th u.s. commerce secretary, before that, ceo and chairman of kellogg. let's check in with first word news with kailey leinz. >> the u.s. unemployment rate has much the lowest level in almost five decades. the economy added 223,000 jobs in may and the jobless rate fell to 3.8%. the report reinforces expectations that fed policymakers will raise interest rates when they meet this month. in spain, lawmakers have made it official. they have booted mariana roy from office after losing a no-confidence vote in office, setting the stage for a socialist leader to become prime minister. populist party is in italy will take power today with a program for fiscal expansion that challenges european union rule. is a lawrime minister professor with no political experience. he was born -- sworn in moments ago. will also be guaranteed income for the poor. global news 24 hours a day, on-air, and on tictoc, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm kailey leinz. this is b

mr. gutierrez, for five minutes. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. mr. rosenstein, the president likes to use the term 100%. so i want to make sure that i'm 100% sure. the president of the united states did appoint you to your position. is that 100%? >> yes, sir. >> mr. wray, you're the new fbi director. i knew the ex-fbi director before he was fired by the president of the united states. is it 100% that this president appointed you to the position that you currently hold as the fbi director? >> yes. >> 100%. so there's no wiggle room here. it's 100%, like the president says. i want to ask you, they keep talking about 13 angry democrats that are running the investigation. mr. wray, are you 1 of those 13 angry democrats that my republican colleagues keep referring to? >> well, congressman, of course, i'm not working on the special counsel investigation. >> but you're the head of the fbi. are you a democrat? did the president reach over to the democratic party, as presidents have, and pick you because he wanted to have democrats in his administration? >> c

mr. gutierrez said, to take some action against you is something we should all guard against very closely. there have been -- there remain out 18 outstanding indictments, five guilty pleas from the deputy campaign manager, the top security adviser among others. you have already said our country was attacked in order to influence the outcome of our election. my first question is, are former adversaries, including russia, continuing to attempt to interfere with our next election? >> congressman, it is, i think, the consensus of the intelligence community that the russian foreign powers will continue to look for ways to influence our populous. whether or not they would attempt to interfere with our election in the sense that many laypeople think of it is an open question. certainly there is plenty of information to show they continue to look for ways to try to avoid us and undermine the faith of the american people in a democracy we hold so dear. >> do you recall, deputy attorney general, for all the demands of information. have our colleagues written to you and asked for information that ar

bush, carlos gutierrez. mr. secretary, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, chris.leasure. >> want to get your reaction to something that the president said today about the kinds of people that are crossing the border. please listen. >> they encourage people, frankly, to walk through mexico and go into the united states because they're drug traffickers. they're human traffickers, they're coyotes. i mean, we're getting some real beauties. mexico is doing nothing for us except taking our money and sending us drugs. >> your reaction? >> well, i think it's an amazing exaggeration. it is misleading. it is fear mongering. it makes it sound as if though most immigrants who cross the borders are drug dealers or criminals. and that is absolutely false. i wish someone would use numbers, chris, and just put this thing to rest. this is just rhetoric that is -- incites hatred and incites xenophobia and incites false nationalism. i think it's very, very regretful. >> now the president says it is none of those things. he makes the case that he has the biggest heart in the world. h

mr. rosenstein, and to undermine our system of justice. >> luis gutierrez referencing trump's repeated insistence that angry democrats are leading the russian investigation. >> i do not consider myself an angry democrat. >> are you a democrat? are you a democrat? >> no, i am not. >> i am not a democrat and i am not angry. >> the white house pushing back on accusations the president's allies are trying to give him cover. >> they're acting as the president's political fixers. >> i don't think they're undermining the investigation. i think there's frustration on-going for 18 months, no evidence of russian collusion, so of course there's frustration of wanting to wrap it up. >> joining me, greg brour, former u.s. attorney for the office of congressional affairs at the fbi. knows a thing or two about the hearings. our panel, political reporter, and national political reporter from bloomberg politics. greg, have you seen rod rosenstein that publicly po 'd before? >> i think you saw a little frustration come out. on the whole, he was respectful to the extent possible to the process. he feels strongly ab

mr. newhouse, is not you compromising with steven miller, it means you compromising with luis gutierrez, or zo lofgren, or me, or the faith community. it's not a compromise when reasonable people like mr. newhouse and mr. curbelo go in a a backroom and have the reason beaten out of them by hateful fear mongering that is frankly un-american. look, i urge my republican colleagues to imagine that these children were theirs, because they are ours. they are our wards. they are in our country. this cannot be allowed to continue. we need to reject this rule. i urge my colleagues to oppose this heartless, inhumane bill, and begin a true process of compromise and consensus that can can secure our borders, fix our broken immigration system, unite families, restore the rule of law, and reflect our values as americans. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from washington. mr. newhouse: thank you, mr. speaker. just for one minute i'd like to remind the gentleman that the dream act that he says is supported by many peop

mr. president, stop being so on american, so torturous towards these little children. it makes me ashamed of you. i would like to ask representative gutierrez to come forward. say to congressman nadler, thank you for your leadership and for bringing us together today behind this wonderful legislation. thank you to my democratic colleagues for standing up for the children. president, your. can end this with a phone call. you do not have to pick up a pen. you don't have to send an email to anybody. pick up the phone and end this torture at our border. and this tragedy at our border. [applause] call your head of homeland security and tell her to do her job and have a conscience about the children and fulfill her responsibility to the american people. [applause] call your head of the department of justice and tell them to follow the law. what do we mean by that? we mean that when people come to this country, mr. sessions, maybe an attorney general who voted against violence against women act could see women who come here to this country who abuseorture and death and , and you mr. attorney general call that a private matter. it is a public matte

mr. rosenstein and to undermine our system of justice. >> reporter: democrat luis gutierrez, references president trump's repeated insistence that angry democrats are leading the investigation. >> i do not consider myself an angry democrat. >> are you a democrat? >> i am not. >> i'm not a democrat and i'm not angry. >> reporter: the white house pushing back on accusations the president's allies are trying to give him cover. they're acting as the president's political fixers. >> i don't look to undermind the investigation. there's frustration going on, it's been going for 18 months. >> reporter: when you hear the calls to wrap up the special counsel investigation, it's lasted so far for just over a year. by comparison, the benghazi investigation, led by trey gaudgaudoud di who you saw in that story, lasted over two years. >>> that heat wave that is gripping tens of millions of americans, it's about to get even hotter. >> good morning, savannah and willie. good morning to you. thanks for getting your first weather from us. people will be in the heat down into the gulf and up into the upper midwest.

gutierrez. thank you for joining us. i know you were at the detention center in colorado yesterday. do you share mr. bossert's, i guess, pessimism, over whether this executive order will work? what happens after the judge strikes it down this week? >> well, first of all, my visit with three detainees, from g guatema guatemala, three women, separated from their children, says to me, you cannot stop until each and every parent is reunited with their child. that has to be our first priority. i think we can all get together and agree that these children should be reunited with their families. and moving forward, there should be no more separations. but let's be clear. even as your former guest said, the plague, from coming. he used that word. the plague from coming. the president uses words like they're breerds breeders. sanctuary cities. he said yesterday they come to infest. these are the kinds of words that the republican party and this president uses. he doesn't use it as a border control policy. an immigration policy. he uses it as a -- an issue to energize his political base for the midterm electi
