mr. president. do you? how do we plan to end these threats, by turning off cable news? funny how that got him into trouble in the first. i have a feeling, kg., that he would be singing a different tune if all the coverage were about climate change. >> absolutely, and it shows how far off the marques. he went to hawaii and said, i'm going to be strong on isis, we're going to step up our game. then he comes back and says this. what are you doing? you're blaming cable news? you're blaming the american people saying they're being hysterical and people in masks and hoods worrying even more about it because you don't seem to have a, climate change. >> or gun control. >> he did take some responsibility, right? didn't he say. look, there's a reason why we say we report, you decide. we're showing you the videos. it doesn't take a rocket -- five and six-year-old's with the white house burning in the background? is isis recruiters, isis home-grown terrorists in size, that's, not having to worry about them taking the country out. >> i think he's bitter. he had certain issues planned for his last year and it's all getting pushed aside kind of the disa

mr. coffman who owned the kansas city royals at one time who helped us take our 401(k) and start my little5 million business which sounds like a lot but it wasn't at the time. but it made things and we started from there. seven of our children worked for us and we were kind of a family business and the rest is history. but anyway, my point is we want to give money, we want to give back. but we're giving it to the wrong -- when i met bob, i was like, it's got to be organic like one of you gentlemen said. it's got to be people. but we can be the foundation. we can support like bob who can then get the job done. and you know what? if washington is not going to do it we're going around washington. we're not going to stop. >> i think your comments are a prime illustration of the truth of what he was saying earlier. is that we're all on the comeback trail. and if wealthy people and people who are in authority and power, if they have the capacity to understand, they too are on a comeback trail, they too are overcoming things. it's not just the folks who are here. that we've all got stories like g

mr. trump apparently wants to institute for those who are entering the united states, and the improved or reforms that could improve the screening process for those seeking to enter the united states using a k-1 visa program, regardless of their religion. so i think there's a pretty significant difference between what mr. trump is advocating and what the president has asked, tasked his team was working on. i don't have an update for you in terms of the timeline window review will be completed or a set of reforms would be proposed, but i think given the events of the last week or so this is a sense of urgency about conducting that reviewed and completing it. >> and when you say it's on the verge, that are perhaps some weaknesses in the existing -- >> i think it is an explicit acknowledgment that this is at a minimum something we need to check out. >> can you also, taking a step back, looking at the comments we've seen from others today, speaker ryan did come out and say the way donald trump is talking is not reflective of conservatism. you also spitted but why would he say he would vote for him? that's what i don't understand. >> in terms of the commentary at the need to condemn these commen

mr. chairman. just picking up where the chairman has left off, i'll disclose it, my office did call over and ask for a copy of the k-1 application and we were advised that it was the fbi who has said really this needs to be remain confidential at this point because of their investigation and i accept that. i want the fbi to be able to do everything it's supposed to do. when they're done, however, i want to look at all of it. so i think how long that investigation will take, none of us can know but i know that the chairman i'm sure would share my desire once it's over let's look at all of it. we wouldn't want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation. in terms of what uscis does, the interview for -- not talking about this case but just how one obtains a non-immigrant visa, be it k-1 or h-1b or whatever, the applicant applies abroad and it isn't uscis that does the interview, it's the state department, isn't it? >> that is correct. all we do is look at the bonn fieds of the petition here, meaning the bonn fieds of the actual interview, the actual screening is conducted by the state department at the a consular post ov

mr. president, you're the one negotiating with the death to america crowd. a bad reement was agreement. he should respect people that have a disagreement with him, tendency k there's a in washington today to push down anybody that disagrees with you and make yourself look better. and then that result is there's a gap of trust that doesn't make done.sible to get things there are too many lessons in history in our great country where the opposite took place. we've had a 240-year run here, i think, at the republic. pretty good run. i'd say the greatest run of any country ever created. and out of that period of time, we've probably had 10 years of massive dysfunction. you in the 19th century, they had food fights and duals and stuff. they got this thing to work. omnibus brag about an bill that no one read that's long dealing ages with a trillion dollars of pending and i'm sure there's ugly things in there. even shut down government. that's how low the bar is. how do you start? by assuming that the other people don't have bad motives and at least listen to them to common ground. ronald reagan and the social now what,olvency, for almost 40 years. democrats.it wi
