mr. mccarthy: thank you very much. [applause] mr. hy: if anybody questions whether god creates miracles, look at steve scalise. right? [applause] mr. mccarthy: i don't know if you know. next week will be the one year today that he would shot. i remember that date clearly. steve and i have been friends for decades. youngand i were republicans together. he was the head of his estate louisiana and we were a team that. i was the first member to endorse him, right to make check. whenthat's morning, security came and told me what had taken place, my wife happened to be here and we went to the hospital. the first reports were how he was just ok. when we got to the hospital we saw the doctors race and it was -- it was not the case. 20 pints of blood. your body does not hold that much. we were waiting for jennifer, his dear friend and we prayed. when jennifer came and she looked at the doctor and the doctor was laying out severity where she was. she said sir, you don't know my husband. he has tough, he has faith, and he will walk again. he jus

mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, if i could just restate and so i can speak more clear. mr. speaker, the house is also expected to consider legislation relating to border security immigration. so the answer is yes, as i said before. we are bringing that bill to the floor. we have been working very closely with the entire conference taking all ideas in. we had a very productive conference last night and we'll work through the weekend and will see that bill on the floor next week. and i look forward to your support as well. . mr. hoyer: not working with a bipartisan group that has support on this floor of 240 members, 240 members of the house of representatives, you need 218 for a majority. support an option and have been asking for that option for a long period of time. the majority leader is looking somewhat quiz cal, mr. speaker, and he wants to know how you get to 240. 193 plus 47. there were 54 republicans who asked for the rule, putting four bills on the floor. but seven were apparently encouraged to tak

mr. mccarthy: i thank my friend for yielding. this is just a clear example of a difference in philosophical opinion. we had the same debate when it came to the tax bill. that it was going to be armageddon. it would be crumbs if people got bonuses. and that we would be in a really worse position than we are. as we found out, mr. speaker, that is totally untrue. that the economy is stronger. again, in the last 49 in the last 49 years there have been seven months where unemployment was below 7%. we just hit one million new jobs based upon the tax cut more so since the election. household wealth has increased by $7 trillion just since the election. now, this is a philosophical difference. currently, 2/3 of able-bodied adults report no earned income, why? because the snap program is letting them down. not a single family will be cut off. ur proposal goes to those aged 18-59, individuals who are mentally and physically disabled and the primary caregivers of a child under the age of six and we give them the job training to let them get

mr. mccarthy. i yield to my friend. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: the house is not in order. the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. please take your conversations ut of the chamber. the majority leader is recognized. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. mccarthy: on monday new york votes are expected in the house. on tuesday the house will meet at noon for morning hour and 2:00 378 for legislative business. votes will be postponed until 6:30 p.m. on wednesday an thursday the house will meet at 10:00 a.m. for morning hour and noon for legislative business. on friday the house will meet at 9:00 a.m. for legislative business. last votes of the week are expected no later than 3:00 p.m. the house will consider a number of suspensions next week a complete list of which will be announced by close of business today. all of these bills will be focusing on one thing. fighting our nation's op

mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i want to congratulate the gentleman for his work, his tireless effort, and his passion for those who have been inflicted with the addiction. mr. speaker, i rise today to urge the passage of h.r. 6, which contains more than 50 opioid related bills which we have considered the past two weeks. we in this body have the opportunity nearly every day to approve legislation of great consequences to millions of people. but rarely do the consequences feel so immediate, so vital, as they do for the opioid package we're considering. this is because this legislation has to do with the deadliest drug crisis in our nation's history. the grim truth is this, more americans have died from drug overdoses since the turn of the century than they died in the civil war. yes, you heard it right. in less than two decades more than 630,000 people have died because of drugs. half of those deaths had to do with opioids. now, in my hometown of bakersfield has been devastated by illegal drugs, mostly heroin and me

mr. mccarthy: i ask unanimous consent when the house adjourns today it meet on monday june 25, 2018 when it shall convene at noon for morning hour debate and >> the house next week takes of the $675 billion defense spending bill. leo shane with "military times". what are the main priorities versus the president's request? >> it is pretty close to the president's request. and looking at the same level of military end strength. and same level for the military pay raise. and generally the same level of funding. little bit lower than what the administration asked for. we have gotten a note from mick mulvaney and wants to see those accounts fully restored. but it is pretty close. the two places that we have see the administration, this bill would purchase two extra lit oral ships with the administration we spent money offer and j-star program and another $00 million. minor things in the larger scope and pretty much in line with what the administration was looking for. host: reading some of your reporting, militarytimes.com, the headline. here's what the appropriators want. you quote the chair

mr. mccarthy: well, good morning. as the whip talked about, we have a big week. coming off doing opioid bills, more than 50 of them, passing the farm bill. this week we have a big week with d.o.d. and the whip wanted to bring in a special guest. say hi to everybody. come on. you can. all right. dad knows best there. i want to thank our subcommittee chair, kay granger. s's dedicated her career inside congress about building our military, making sure we're prepared so, one, our men and women have exactly what we need to be protected. we have watched during the last administration, during sequester that our military get cut 20%. but we watched the world become more dangerous. and what we're doing with the d.o.d. appropriation bill that's moving through, we are rebuilding it. as she talked about, it's a pay raise, 2.6%, the highest pay increase in more than nine years. we're looking at the readiness, restoration, and modernization programs. we have to be innovative in this process where we go in a continually changing world. we want to make sure we're protected and t

mr. mccarthy: good morning. this is a big week in congress. we will tackle many issues. om combating opioids, farm bill, and of course exactly what we talked about with the president last night, our broken immigration system. i say ours, it's not a republican or democrat problem. tans american problem. something this congress has talked about for quite some time. as the speaker was clear, i want to be very clear. we do not support the separation of children and their families being broken apart. that's why we worked on this bill. this bill doesn't just solve that problem but solves border security, goes through every issue we talked about when it come it is immigration. s that bill that's consensus. this is a bill that the president supports. it's a bill that can become law. we'll have an opportunity to vote on it tomorrow night. the question will be, do people want to play politics? or do you want to put people before politics? do you want to solve an issue we've all talked about for quite some time. this is an issue that needs to be solved for decades going forward for

mr. mccarthy: as you can see by all the members and pictures, there's not one place in america that this does not touch. more than 100 people will die today. tomorrow, the same. our friends, our family, some of the brightest stars that we've had unbeknownst to them became addicted simply because they got injured. this is not the first time we have dealt with this subject. as you can tell it's personal to so many members in congress. in the last congress we passed the comprehensive addiction and recovery act and the 21st century cures. we added, as the chairman said, $4 billion in the omnibus for funding. we are spending this week and next week passing more than 70 bills dealing with this addiction. this is not the first step and it's not the last step. it is simply the next step. this is destroying the fiber of this nation. and we should battle it in the seriousness of what it is. that's why you'll find the work that not just one committee but numerous committees of every different element of what we're trying to do. and our commitment to the american public that we will not stop until w

mr. mccarthy earlier said well you can't have these examples of the animosity towards this president and visceral hatred towards this president demonstrated with some of these senior fbi officials and then just presume none of that was manifested in their work for the way they do their different cases especially when they are working on clinton's emails at the same time they work on the donald trump russia investigation. it is a stretch to imagine those personal feelings would not affect their work. shannon: peter stzrok's attorney says the ig concluded there is no evidence the political views of special agent stzrok and others in the fbi impacted the handling of the clinton email investigation. that is repeatedly what the inspector general says throughout the 568 pages here but you are saying common sense tells you otherwise. >> how could he know that unless he could crawl inside their minds and examine the mental process? i want to complement the inspector general for something we have been looking forward to, brought forth information on the intel committee, trying to get them from th

mr. mccarthy said. >> the trump base is so in line with the republican party, i just don't see this movingis not wrong. there are strong feelings on both sides of the aisle here, but i just don't see any significant shift toward a more moderate approach on immigration, especially in light of how the jobs numbers are coming out. trump has all the momentum on that argument. i don't think senator mccain does. >> of course there's immigration, there's trade, tariffs on steel and aluminum are alienating some of the president's strongest allies. here's representative kevin mccarthy on this. >> even the eu entered a complaint on the theft of i.p. i think what we've found is we're in the middle of a trade discussion. nobody wants to be in a trade war. nobody wins a trade war. but we're standing up for the process of moving forward with fair trade. when you're talking about canada, look what they do when it comes to their dairy products. our wife cannot sit in their supermarkets. i think this is a final discussion on nafta going through with final negotiations, and you're just in the middle of it.

mr. mccarthy earlier said it well. you can't have these examples of the animosity towards this president and the visceral hatred toward this president demonstrated with some of these fbi, senior fbi officials and then just presume that none of that was manifested in their work are in the way that they viewed their different cases especially when some of these individuals are working on hillary clinton's email thing at the same time they are working on the donald trump russia investigation. it's a stretch to imagine those personal feelings wouldn't influence their work at some point. >> shannon: all right. peter strzok's attorney, he figures prominently in this report, he said "the ig conclude there is no evidence that the political views of special agents strzok and others impacted the handling of the clinton email investigation." that is repeated there with general size throughout the 568 pages here but you are saying common sense tells you otherwise? >> i don't know how he could possibly know that lessie can crawl in

to broker a solution at a european level that will play cakes people like mr conti people like mr mccarthy and the heads of government in other countries certainly in the fore in the countries of the former yugoslavia and elsewhere in the balkan area of europe and at the same time placate her allies of the varian party the c.s.u. who it seems have slightly divergent demands or desires regarding immigration so that is the conundrum that she has to solve in the course of the next two weeks and people here some analysts here suggest that that if there may not necessarily be an e.u. wide deal certainly she will be looking to find some sort of accommodation official accommodation is it works with the leaders of the countries where many of the through which rather many of the people who come here as refugees first make landfall that's the thing to look out for will be interesting to see when we see the news conference between mr conti and ms mrs merkel what sort of progress they might have made because these are the two countries who you would consider will have the vote the most number of peopl

mr. mccarthy, is that this is already other.and we're putting mueller on notice that he's got to wrap it up and acknowledge it and admit there isn't anything there so we can all go home. that's the framing because they know this is going to end up before the american people and potentially a vote in the house. that's the audience. >> and they know things aren't going well, steve schmidt. we're talking about -- kevin mccarthy now being donald trump's parrot sitting on his right shoulder and regurgitating his twitter feed. say nothing collusion, nothing's been produced. well, i'm sorry, we played the clip, let's go over the list again. 13 russians have been indicted. three russian companies have been indict ed. the man donald trump picked to run the national security team indicted, charged, cooperating with robert mueller in the collusion investigation. the man that donald trump said he had to have if he was going to win the republican nomination to get the delegates, indicted, facing trial. the man that donald trump told the "was

joining me now from his home state of california house majority leader kevin mccarthy. mr.r, thank you for joining me, we have a lot to get to. i actually want to start with the news about this letter that the president's lawyers pro to the special counsel back in january. his legal team says the president, himself, dictated that statement on the trump tower meeting. this is what the letter says. it says the president dictated a short response to the "new york times" article on behalf of his son donald trump, jr., that's a direct contradiction to what the white house said last year. take a listen. >> that was written by donald trump jr. and i'm sure in conversation with his lawyer some that wasn't written by the president. the president didn't sign off on anything. he wasn't involved in the drafting and did not issue the statement. it came from donald trump jr.. >> he certainly didn't dictate, he like i said weighed in, offered a suggestion like any father would do. >> are you bothered by the fact the white house lied about the president's involvement here? >> dana, first o

by kevin mccarthy, majority leader of the house of representatives and likely the next speaker of the house when the republicans retain the majority after the election, i hope. welcome back, mr. majority leader. good to have you. >> thank you so much for having me back on your show, hugh. >> let's begin if we can, kevin mccarthy, a story that was in your twitter feed thursday morning from vice.com. google decided that the search term brings up nazi ideology. what's your reaction to this? >> this is disgusting. if anyone searched through google, the biggest search engine, the ideology didn't say the party of lincoln or the party of regan. it said our ideology was naziism. they pulled that from wikipedia. the tough part is i was talked about this before hand. and i looked at wikipedia and it didn't say naziism on there. the bias has to stop. because if you just went a couple days before to instagram and you searched donald trump jr., it gave you a warning this site to be harmful and could actually cause death. so that puts a real concern of what's going on. and what happened at amazon kicking out the alliance for freedom. you couldn't give the charity money through there even

starting to see a dynamic between kevin mccarthy and steve scalise, the number three in the house, that is very similar. it reminds me of flash backs between mrcantor and boehner and the in fighting that happened. >> do you think kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker, eugene? >> i think it is huely likely. what is interesting is what got kevin mccarthy out of the running previously perhaps just saying things that were jumping the gun will not be as much of a concern to voters and other republicans who have to make a decision in the end. but i'm still paying a lot of attention to the house freedom caucus of seeing who they will back and how much howe trouble they could cause to getting kevin mccarthy to that seat. >> is eugene, anna right? >> 50/50 right now. i think scalise has a good shot right now. it depends on the freedom caucus. >> i think it will be kevin. we will see. thank you, anna, al, eugene. coming up, i'll talk with the aforementioned kevin mccarthy. i'll be right back. [thoughtful sigh] still nervous about buying a house? a little. thought i could de-stress with some zen gardening. at least we don't have to worry about homeown

mccarthy. do you still stand by that? mr. scalise: yes. jake: could you -- it's funny because we always hear when we write stories about leadership, no one cares besides reporters which we know to be demonstrably false from all of the members of congress who constantly chatter about it. i wonder why you think mccarthy would be a good speaker? mr. scalise: well, first of all, he has a good relationship with president trump. as majority leader, you can see the bills, he schedules the floor, and we moved i think a very strong agenda through the house. now, there would be bills we can point to that the senate hasn't passed. health care being the biggest one, that the house passed that the senate hasn't. kevin and i worked very closely together to put those coalitions together to pass that agenda forward. jake: and could you -- what is your relationship with the president like? i know he was obviously very -- he's said a lot of nice things about you publicly. could you take us behind the scenes about what it's like to work with the president? m

mccarthy. >> reporter: mr. president . >> reporter: mr.nt . >> president trump: these laws have been broken for many years, decades. we had a great meeting. >> bret: reiterating what he said going in, that the laws have been broken for decades. i had a great. did he talk a lot about immigration or was it a mixed? >> it was a mix. he started with immigration. he came back to immigration at the middle and an knackered we talked about regulation, we talked about the association of health plans to bring down premiums for health care that he is signing with the secretary of labor. >> bret: is their urgency here or is this an issue both sides are playing politics with? >> our side is not playing politics with it. i had my staff working for the weekend, but a legislative fix. 77 pages that we worked around the clock to get introduced today. we did that at noon. it's about getting the job done right. unfortunately, it's been a political football back and forth and when you're dealing with people's lives, you've got to make sure you get it done rig

lined up, i think senator eugene mccarthy really would have conceded defeat in his heart of hearts a month or two ago. >> the nomination was really not in question anymore. >> mrccarthy and it was not going to be mcgovern. it was going to be hubert humphrey. that was a done deal before the convention opened. the focus became on a peace plank in the democratic party platform, felt strongly by those of us who had been in the kennedy campaign or mccarthy or mcgovern campaign. it was our last hope to get something at least. >> this is the moment of truth for the democratic party. it was the issue of vietnam and deeply-held feelings that the killing had to stop that motivated robert kennedy to become a candidate for president. a bullet stilled that voice, but he's here today, and if he were alive today, he'd be on that platform speaking for this minority plank. thank you. >> this is still a volatile convention as you see here with this demonstration on the floor. would stop the bombing now without any preconditions. >> there's a minority among us represented over in grant park, and let me say the police department, mayor daley, must all be related to job, they've s

mr. diaz-balart, the framework of this bill was negotiated by vin mccarthy, dick durbin, steny hoyer and other members of both parties. listen, you are not going to get disagreement. we prefer to work in a bipartisan manner. we always believe that is the best way to work on immigration and many of us have been doing that for years. mario diaz-balart has a years' long dialogue ol immigration reform. there was a gang here that he was a part of that was working. i sat with the problem solvers' caucus for works. john katko knows negotiating a solution. at the end of the day, it has to be about the policy. and there were major democratic priorities in this legislation. why? because we because we happen to agree with our democratic colleagues on his issue. we didn't have a solution and path to 700,000 young immigrants brought to our country. not for 1. million, almost two million, that is the number that our democratic colleagues have been asking for and that is what we negotiated and won. so, it's an easy excuse, we weren't a part of it and get to vote no. i think if the policy is good, wheth

mr cummings to the committee of privileges. you're watching thursday in parliament, with me, alicia mccarthy.te change has told the government to act faster to cut carbon dioxide emissions. led by the former conservative environment secretary, john gummer, now lord deben, the report said young people would end up footing the bill for dealing with the problem. the findings were raised by labour's shadow trade secretary, barry gardiner. the conservative committee chair set out a stark demand — act now, climate change will not pause while we consider our options, he said. in response to this can the secretary of state explain why it is that on the latest figures 99.a% of the support that uk export finance gives to the energy sector goes to fossil fuels. the trade secretary, liam fox, said uk export finance was used to promote a range of environmental issues and he'd been in norway just last week to talk about the use of renewables. but there was more pressure on the government over its emmissions policies later, when a minister came to the commons to answer an urgent question about a £200 millio

mr. green: that is why he would hang back at mccarthy's funeral. he knew if he was seen there -- he had to be there because he was loyal. but he knew that if it was published and seen, it would hurt jack. i don't think he was trying to be sneaky, trying to have it both ways. but he was always trying to help his brother. he also wanted to be loyal to someone who helped him. mr. tye: he did. there was a magical moment, and i'm not sure exactly when it happened, where bobby understood 1967, even while jack was alive that he had a political career himself, and they used to joke that after jack had done it for eight years, bobby -- you know had initialnedy aspirations to be president himself. at theworld war ii, start, when he was u.s. ambassador to great britain, he had not, at an opportune moment , been a nazi appeaser. he went public with it, never denied it, and the boston globe charged to get him fired, and he got fired as the ambassador of great britain. the moment joe kennedy knew it could not be him, it was going to be his son, and an order of -

mccarthy beat lbj and new hampshire. >> [inaudible] lost in new hampshire, won in wisconsin. mr. tye: we're talking about roberty beat lbj before kennedy got into it. he gets into it and looks like the ultimate -- the cutthroat politician who lets gene mccarthy do the tough work in new hampshire and then bobby kennedy takes his mantle away four days later. sent anal columnist telegram to ted kennedy saying, what your brother has just done in new hampshire shows that saint patrick did not drive all the snakes out of ireland. [laughter] that was maybe the most can handed entry ever, but if you look at the evidence, the evidence is clear cut that kennedy had decided to enter nine days before, and he decided it was only fair to give mccarthy that clear shot before he came in. when he was being a gentleman and doing the kind of thing that the political campaign manager in him would have asked him to do, he ended up hurting himself badly with the press, and it took almost the entire campaign for reporters to come around and trust bobby kennedy, but by the end of that campaign -- one of

president's closest allies in congress house majority leader kevin mccarthy was asked about those repeated denials from the white house. >> mrleader, are you bothered by the fact the white house lied about the president's involvement here? >> look, one thing i have found, this has gone on for more than a year. millions of dollars have been spent. the white house has been cooperating all the way through. this was all based upon was there collusion involved in the election. everyone has looked at this says there's no collusion going forward. >> mr. leader, i understand those are the talking points. but this is a specific question. are you concerned that the white house -- you heard the sound bites, you saw the statement from his own lawyers. they lied. does that concern you? >> they can go on with the investigation. what i was concerned most about, like most americans, was there any collusion. there was no collusion. >> so, briefly setting aside kevin mccarthy not engaging on that question at all, charlie savage, what's the reason for the legal team to do this, put this in this memo? they clearly feel they needed to sit the re
