mr. johnson: we are suing the presidential debate commission. we are suing the presidential debate commission on the basis of if you are on the ballot in enough states to mathematically be elected you should be included in the presidential debates. for 100%we are paying of the lawsuit, we included the green party in the lawsuit also from the standpoint of fairness. it's my understanding the green party will be on the ballot and 37 of the 50 states and can, in fact, garnered 270 electoral votes. we will be the only third-party on the ballot in all 50 states. >> governor weld? mr. weld: i'm actually not concerned are worried about this percentage points that the question makes. 7%, a percent, 9%, 10% now. 13% in someled at national polls. he pulls ahead of mrs. clinton among independents in a couple polls, which is very interesting. it lies in my mind when donald trump started last year he was not even 1%. he was an asterisk in the polls, not taking seriously. we have been at this a month and we are at consensus 10% and we have not begun to fight.

mr. johnson: i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas. mr. ratcliffe: i re-urge opposition to the amendment and yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from georgia. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. . the knows have it and the amendment is not agreed to. mr. johnson: i would request a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6, rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from georgia will be postponed. mr. johnson: i ask unanimous consent that the request for ar recorded vote on amendment umber 2 be with drawn to the end that the amendment stands disposed of by voice vote. and that was the amendment that was originally styled the jackson lee amendment number 2, which i was asked to present by designation. the chair: without objection. without objection amendment number 2 is not adopted. mr. johnson: i rise as the designee

mr. johnson: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from wisconsin. john john i rise today to ask my -- mr. johnson: i rise today to ask kirkpatrick to strengthening a bill. last year the center for verlgtive reporting published a article about opioid overprescription, whistle-blower retaliation and a culture of fear of the toma v.a. medical center in wisconsin. it also detailed the tragic story of a veteran who passed away at the toma v.a. in 2015 from mixed drug toxicity. he had over one dozen different drugs in his system when he died. jason's life is honored by a bipartisan bill introduced by my colleague from wisconsin that i am pleased to cosponsor, the jason simcakoski memorial opiate saved act. it aims to guidelines. when i learned of the problems at the toma v.a., i immediately directed my homeland security and government a fairs committee staff to investigate. they reviewed thousands of cases, documents and conducted 22 interviews. we held two hearings in toma and two in washingto

lyndon johnson: you and i have many things in common, mr. prime minister.ion results. including the very difficult problem that goes with an enlarged majority. another is economics, including that most fascinating and most unfortunately named subject, the balance of payments. the third interest, mr. prime minister, is our mutual fascination with transportation. today, i'm thinking in particular of ships and airplane strikes. narrator: the airplanes were still on the ground and had been since july 7. in a final effort to provide a setting whereby the bargainers could effect an agreement, the president called both sides to the white house. he expressed admiration for their efforts but pointed out that there were other people whose eagerness for a settlement rises in proportion to the number of days the strike continues. these people ranged from the wives of workers to even presidents. at 9:52 that night, in a nationwide broadcast from the white house, the president introduced william j. kurtin, chief negotiator for the airlines, and mr. p.l. simon of the mach

mr. johnson. ladies and gentlemen. mr. chairman. mr. chairman. i wish to speak just for a few moments. i first want to thank all of you delegates to the democratic national convention. the supporters of the democratic did foror all that you president john f. kennedy. [applause] >> that ovation, by the way, ran about 12 minutes. >> i want to express my appreciation to you for the effort that you made on his behalf at the convention four years ago, the efforts that you made on his behalf for his election in november of 1960 and perhaps most importantly, the encouragement and strength that you gave them after he was elected president of the united states. i know that it was the source of the greatest strength to him to know that there were thousands of people all over the united states who were together with dedicated to certain principles in certain ideas. no matter what talent an individual possesses, what energy you might have, no matter how much integrity and honesty , he can accomplish he isittle, but if sustained, as president kennedy was, by the democratic party all over the united

mr. johnson was in the leave camp.ere's the report. >> first full day as foreign secretary and a few friendly words of the french ambassador's place. closer together, in english, but they weren't all buying it. [applause] angry demo.ly an they seem to quite like him. but foreign secretaries aren't booed at events like this at all. >> what would you say to those who are unhappy of the new secretary? >> the start of the day wasn't perfect it. >> well, they insulted mr. johnson! >> best say nothing. but where was his car? lost his way when he was after the leadership. now, to the surprise of many, finally found a new role, in charge of quiet british a career strewn with colorful outbursts. world, there's been some amusement and quite a lot of shock. swedisher, the former leader thought it was a joke. the former belgian prime minister did. have no borders, he wrote. australia sent good wishes to a friend. others in france and germany were less friendly. and the president of the european parliament has described the cabinet

mr. johnson: and my answer, yes. i believe that sensible gun-control consistent with the second amendment and consistent with a responsible gun owners right to own a gun is a matter of homeland security. at what happened in orlando, if you look at what happened in san bernardino, and the weapons used their, by what appeared to have been terrorists, i think we should face the fact that we need to make it harder for terrorists to get a gun in , and i know there is legislation and legislative ideas pending in this congress to do exactly that. i hope we can find a way consistent with the second it harder forake a terrorist to buy a gun in this country. it is a weapon of an instrument , and thosem determined to commit terrorist attacks on our homeland are taking advantage of that. so i believe it is a matter of homeland security that we address this. senator leahy: i am told that at least one al qaeda member has loopholeu.s. gun show to encourage their sympathizers to buy firearms. from your experience, is it terrorists a

mr. johnson failed. now the negotiations are somewhat disturbing because it's from the negotiations we learned that mr. johnson allegedly wanted to kill white people, white police officers, but that's not all. according to the police chief mr. brown, in dallas, he was not alone. listen to what mr. brown said a few hours ago. >> through our investigation of some of the suspects it is revealed to us that this was a well-planned, well-thought-out, evil tragedy. >> reporter: want to show you again some of the photographs of the men and people who lost their lives and were shot by the snipers, and i say that plural as we've heard from chief brown. you see there that officer with the other man, that is patrick zamaripa, a navy veteran, served ten years in iraq. and brent thompson, he was married just two weeks ago and michael kroll, he joined the dallas police force in 2007. if you go to the dallas morning news, you can see some of the pictures of the survivors of the sniper attack. one is a civilian, a mother

mr. johnson. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah.orry >> commissioners i don't think that staff understood what you were looking for so in the staff report we thought you were asking for i apologize for that but the level of analyze your talking about i don't think it something we could have gotten done in the time based on the workload and when we had to get things done. >> just to clarify the number of increases in the unit not into a feasibility analysis i think you're talking about in terms of commissioner mar preto post nct but we looked at the increase in density that was possible as a result which is i thought as arn said. >> i think when i hear financial feasibility we were looking values confederacy not feasible but a side by side comparison and we want to capture so much with the feasibility. >> emery rogers planning department staff i think with the controllers study is going to be financial models that the city will be able to use and change the inputs in the future in the if the court please future we'll answer those que

mr. johnson of georgia. the chair: the gentleman from georgia, mr. johnson and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia. mr. johnson: companies are closing coal-fired power plants s we move towards cleaner. a material known as coal ash is a by-product of this industry. coal ash contains arsenic, lead and mercury. the e.p.a. is now regulating coal ash with its final rule on the disposal of coal combustion residuals from electric utilities. many of the neighborhoods already exposed to dangerous levels of coal ash are low-income and minority communities. the problem being disproportionately exposed to chemicals, hazardous waste and toxic materials is neither new nor confined to one area of the country. more than 134 million americans, their homes, schools, businesses, parks and places of worship are in harm's way from dangerous exposure to coal ash. a 2014 study found that residents in vulnerable zones are disproportionately african-american or latino, have higher rates of poverty than the u.s. as a

mr. johnson and company have received enough of our attention. for me they behaved like children, building a wooden tower or wooden blocks and then just knocking the whole thing down once they built it. that's childish play. children can do that. a politician shouldn't be playing like this in the eu. we have the result of the council. those results were scandalous in such a situation to declare that we need a further period for reflection and not to come up with anything specific and not saying what we should be reflecting upon, that reminds me of the action after the failed referendums of the european constitution in france and the netherlands. at that time, once again we said we need time for reflection and did that increase the confidence of the european people in the european council and the european parliaments? well they certain ly changed their attitudes and there i think the previous speaker is correct. if we don't dhang things, if we don't change then it's going to fail and we'll all be responsible for that. the messages are messages ind

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 5252, currently under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. johnson: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. johnson: mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 5252, to designate the u.s. customs and border protection port of entry located at 1400 lower island road in tornillo, texas, the marcelino serna port of entry. private serna was a brave veteran who selflessly honored his country. he demonstrated courage, bravery and heroism in battle, risking his life to save his fellow soldiers and became the most decorated world war i veteran from the state of texas. i'm honored to stand here today as a veteran and a fellow texan to pay tribute to this brave american. and i congratulate my colleague, mr. hurd, for his leadership in introduc

mr. johnson's actions. and i if you want to be real direct and correct, mr. was failed by our u.s. military. by allowing him to be back out in society without the proper mental health. >> well there are a lot of questions about mental health programs in this country. but what you do feel like you as a community organizer here and the people who have come out and are concerned? what can you do? what can you accomplish. >> there are some major policy reforms so our mayor and the city council here in dallas really have to open up a conversation and a dialogue about these issues. about the issues of guns and about the issues about police brutality. these issues that we have been trying to bring to the table for some time now. this is not a new issue. there has not been an officer indicted for officer involved shooting for over 40 years for a fatal shooting. clint allen in arlington. christian taylor. many cases have gone on. this conversation needs to go on and some policies need to be changed directly from our chief of police david brown. >> thank you for coming

mrs. johnson relieved the president of any responsibility in handling the many details of the wedding nowoon approaching. and in a press conference the following day the president took refuge in this fact. fairchild newspapers found their press credentials to cover the wedding withdrawn because they had ignored a release date on a news story concerning lucy's bridal gown. challenging the president was denying freedom to the press. the fairchild representative was a positive span on this issue. >> but if i could have your permission to just step aside -- [laughter] n any of the detail of wedding arrangements, i would -- i would like very much to do so. thank you very much. >> there were other issues during the month of july, however on which the president had no prerug active to step aside -- prerogative to step aside. he met with leaders to discuss the appropriations increases on the budget. having just wrapped up the fiscal year with the lowest deficit since 1960, in spipet of him ever increasing the cost of war, the president was determined to keep federal spending in the upcoming month

mr. johnson chose his path and he chose his actions. now we get to choose ours. the leadership is calling for unity. and calling for -- what i'm asking is that our fellow man, we look -- try to look at life through the eyes of someone who is not like us. if you're white, try to understand what it's like to tell your children there's a different set of rules for your middle schoolchildren as they grow up than for your neighbor's. if you're not the family of a first responder, try to imagine what it's like when you send your loved one away to work and wonder if they're going to come home. if we can look at the world through the lenses of others, i think the result of this can be more unity and bringing us closer together. we cannot let an act of hate tear us further apart. >> i think no truer words. very poignant and hopefully people will take that sage advice. dallas county judge clay jenk s jenkins. >> thank you. >> the pictures you're looking at now are out of atlanta where hundreds if not thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets. it remains a peacef

mr. johnson, mr. rasmussen, let me just say everyone thank you for your service to this nation, but i think in the face of the odds that you have been up against, you have done an incredible job in your service to this nation. i thank you. i think all of you. -- i thank all of you. that iseveral questions would like to ask. today is probably the last day before the house goes out for the summer. so many things that we have not for the imagine people -- for the american people -- to adjust availability of the military style firearms to dangerous people. that has been our contention all along. whate always worried about transpired in dallas happening departments all across the nation. it was my biggest fear in the nightmare -- biggest fear and nightmare pit when i talked to the leased departments -- nightmare. when i talked to the police departments, this was my biggest fear that the weapons would potentially end up being used against them. secretary johnson come he said them control is part and parcel

mr. johnson has pulled in business for london on trade trips. honda britain, they may not know much about voice johnson other than his neck for -- other than his nack return of a phrase, but the man is now britain's top diplomat. the world will find out who he is. bbc news, westminster. ,atty: i spoke with jon sopel who has just returned from london. i expect many viewers did not know who the last british foreign secretary was. jon: forest johnson --boris johnson, no one need to worry about knowing who he is. whether he is seen as a figure of seriousness is another question. of all the things that have startled me over the last 48-hours, i did not anticipate boris johnson would be foreign secretary. he had been the mayor of london, but had not held high office in any capacity in government -- although he has been around westminster for many years. to catapult him into one of the great offices of state, responsible for britain's seat on the security council, one of the five permanent members, is something. it seems to me that what theresa to -- i

mr. johnson chose his path and he chose his actions. now we get to choose ours. the leadership is calling for unity and calling for -- what i'm asking is that our fellow man, we would look, try to look at life through the eyes of someone who is not like us. if you're white, try to understand what it's like to tell your children there is a different set of rules for your middle school children as they grow up than for your neighbors'. if you're not the family of a first responder, try to imagine what it's like when you send your loved one away to work and wonder if they're going to come home. and if we can look at the world through the lenses of others, i think that the result of this can be more unity and bring us closer together. we cannot let an act of hate tear us further apart. >> i think no truer words. those are very poignant words, and hopefully will take that very sage advice. dallas county judge clay jenkins. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, sir. protesters still taking place across the country tonight. the pictures you're looking at now are out of

mr. johnson now deceased was alone shooter in this incident happen by piecing together what with a happening at the time after we talk to all of the, and interviewed all of the officers, there was confusion with everybody running around but this was a mobile shooter that had written manifestos on how to shoot and move, shoot and move, and he did that, he did his damage, but we did damage to him, as well. happen we believe now that the city dead, and we can move onto healing, part of the healing is to get the support of our great state, i've had mayors from all over the state call me and lieutenant general was here today, and now the governor of the state of texas, thank you, governor abbott, for being here. >> absolutely, women, mayor, thank you. i want to thank you for the leadership that you always show, but also specially leadership you provided over the past 24 hours, you've been a voice of calm, of reason, of the type of leadership that dallas and texas need at this time. before coming out here i had the opportunity to meet not only with the mayor but also with chief brown who is going

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. my topic today was going to be , the issue of gun violence mash shootings, the need for congress to take some action to keep america safe. the fact that 90% of the people of this country want congress to take some action. and i was going to speak about that today, but i would be remiss as a black man in america to pass up the opportunity to comment about life as a black man in america in an urban setting, particularly, when it comes to police community relations. because we live in a gun culture and nowadays everybody has a gun. some folks have a culture of growing up shooting, hunting, nothing wrong with that. take the kids to the gun show, the family on a saturday afternoon. and at the gun show there is a bunch of unlicensed gun dealers there selling weapons of mass destruction to any and everybody. that's a part of the culture because everybody wants a gun. well, it's time for universal background checks. that's a simple piece of legislation, closing the gun show loophole which is

mr. johnson said he acted alone.t now and the police chief seemed to be going back and forth between suggesting that might be the case and he was acting alone and others might be involved that's a management call and we don't know for certain. i mean, if you take mr. johnson at his word and there's been some reporting, george, he arrived at the scene in his mother's suv, assume that's true, that would lend himself more that he's a lone shooter, which clearly could have committed this act alone. the three people in custody may have on the sort on the edge of this. until they clear them they're going to hold them. >> they're being tight-lipid. phillip mena on the scene in dallas right now. as we have been reporting, that city still on lockdown, in many ways, phillip, it's still an active crime scene. >> absolutely, george, as a matter of fact, right now, we're two blocks away from that parking garage where the deadly confrontation between the suspect micah johnson and police took place, investigators have as you mentio

mr. johnson and mr. rasmussen. mr. johnson, you have done -- secretary johnson, i have seen your work on countering violent terrorism. i have been engaged with the muslim community very extensively and have them tell me how frightened they are now. i have tried to say how much we're with you but how important it is to be part of this team. i would like you to share your thoughts about how that works. mr. rasmussen, let me throw you sort of a curveball of sorts and ask you about something called -- because you deal collectively with police and you work on terrorism issues -- i want to associate myself with mr. thompson. i think the individual in my sympathy to my fellow texans, the loss of those officers. i was at the memorial. i do think that was a terrorist act. an individual intending to terrorize. it might have been hate, racial hate, using a weapon of war. there are a number of things happening. i bring to your attention swatting, which may wind up causing an enormous tragedy that is being a manipulation of e-mails

mr. broderick johnson. [applause] >> good morning. let me start first by thank you, resident thomas, for that very kind introduction. and thank you, noble, for 40 years of serving as the conscience of law enforcement by being committed to justice by action. as a note of personal privilege i also want to thank noble so very much for awarding me the silver by to justice by action youth award yesterday. i am so grateful and so humbled by that recognition, so thank you very much. [applause] >> it is always great to be with the extraordinary attorney general, loretta lynch. and congratulations to my dear friend of many years from our former attorney general eric holder for the incredibly fitting honor that you all just recognized him for. just think about it, just reflect on these two extraordinary and honorable lawyers that this president chose to be his attorneys general. people of great leadership and courage, commitment, compassion, just like the president and first lady of these united states. [applause] wilwill so it is a true privil

mr. johnson, his whereabouts are being kept secret for security reasons. if anyone knows where mr. oment. >> it was a signal moment in our cultural history. suddenly it occurred to us the right thing to do is turn on the television. >> reports continue to come in but in a confused and fragmentary fashion. >> president kennedy has been given a blood transfusion at parkland hospital here in dallas in an effort to save his life. >> it was odd because there were no commercials. it was just a continuous experience. >> two priests have entered the emergency room at parkland hospital where he rests after the assassination attempt which now was about a half hour ago. >> what are your feelings right now, ma'am? >> i'm absolutely shocked. stunned. we have the same birthday. i am just crazy about him. >> who would want to shoot the president? what did he do? i mean, he has been doing so much for the country. someone goes ahead and shoots him? >> a flash from dallas, two priests who were with president kennedy say he is dead of bullet wounds. this is the latest information we have from dallas.

mr. johnson. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. johnson: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the ellison mendment which strikes section 506 from the bill, a deeply flawed provision that would restrict the consumer financial protection bureau's ability to fulfill its statutory mandate to regulate predispute mandatory clauses in contracts for financial products and services. over the past several decades, forced arbitration clauses have proliferated in countless consumer, employment, and small business contracts, depriving countless americans of their right to a jury trial in a court of law while insulating corporations from public accountability. that's why when congress passed the dodd-frank act in 2010, we explicitly empowered the cfpb to study predispute forced arbitration thnd then based on the study's results, ban or limit the practice through regulation. in march, 2015, the cfpb issued a seminal report finding that forced arbitration agreements restrict consumers' access to relief in disputes involving financial services and products. as ove

mr. kennedy: governor stevenson, senator johnson, mr. butler, i for to express my thanks his generous and heartwarming introduction. it is my great honor for this nomination at the convention, have hisdelighted to counsel in the coming months ahead. let me say first that i accept the nomination of the democratic party. i accept it without reservation and with only one obligation, the obligation to devote every toort of my mind and spirit lead our party back to victory and our nation to greatness. that you have provided us with such a strong way to stand on and run on. as they told me so eloquently, promises are made to be kept. and all men are, in deed, our first principle. this is a platform on which i could run with enthusiasm and with conviction. finally, thatful, i can rely on the common months on many others. on a distinguished running mate, who brings strength to our platform and our ticket, lyndon johnson. on one of the most articulate spokesman of our time, adlai stevenson. needsreat fighter for our , as a nation and a people. my

mrs. johnson being told, "he's gone." and that's the beginning of this film. the time frame of this film really begins right there. so that moment does play a significant role - [bryan] it does. - in the film. - [bryan] our story of "all the way" goes from the assassination up through the night of the election in 1964. - do you believe that he's a sympathetic character? should be viewed as a sympathetic character and did you intend to play him sympathetically? - well now (trails off). - history has had different ways of viewing johnson over the years. - oh yeah, yeah. when i was doing the research, i didn't want to sit in judgment of him. an actor never wants to be objective to the point where you're judging your own character, so you try to stay subjective, looking out through the eyes of your character and thinking that everything you're doing is right and justifiable in some way. so as i start doing the research and finding out more about him and talk to people who knew him, doris kearns goodwin and bill moyers and joe califano and larry temple and every (c

mr. johnson and others who today are in the political scene and have no clue how it has to go in the future. instead of leaving the country with markets in turmoil, that is my question. rising but your politicians are not.

[indiscernible] >> we have to carry on with more authoritarian policy with respect to public budgets. we are going to have to send greece and spain through the main goals. with more sanctions. >> if this goes on, you will have member states going their own way. tensions with or without the eurozone will increase and despite the protests of european citizens, mr. juncker, it is it should not be discussed. i do not know what you meant when you said that. that is undemocratic. people's beliefs about the --emocratic nature chair nature of the eu when you say that. let's leave discussions of changing the

mr. johnson now deceased was the lone shooter in this incident and by piecing together what was happening at the time after we talked to all of the officers there was confusion with everyone running around this was a mobile shooter that had written manifestoes on how to shoot and move and he did that. he did his damage but we do damage to him as well. we believe now that the city is safe. and the suspect is dead and we can from -- move on to healing. part of that is to get the support of our great state. i've had mayors from all over the state call me and the lieutenant governor was here today. and now the governor of the state of texas. thank you governor abbott for being here. >> mayor, thank you. i want to thank you for at the leadership you always show but especially the leadership you provided over the past 24 hours. you had been a voice of calm and recent in the pathway of leadership that dallas in texas need at this time. before coming out here i have the opportunity to meet not only with the neighbor but also with chief brown who is going back to work and is not out here with us n

mr. johnson, mr. rasmussen, let me just say, everyone, i just thank you for your service to this nation. but i think in the face of the odds that you've been up against, you have done an incredible job in your service to this nation, and i thank you. thank all of you. i have several questions that i'd like to ask. and, you know, today is probably the last day before the house goes on -- out for the summer, and there are just so many things that we have not done for the american people. the americans are looking to congress to do something to address the availability of military style firearms to dangerous people, and that has been our contention all along. i have always worried about what transpired in dallas happening to our police departments all across the nation. it was my biggest fear and a nightmare. and when i talk to the police departments that i am involved with back in my district, this was always my contention, that these weapons would potentially end up being used against them. secretary j

mr. johnson, now deceased, was the lone shooter in this incident, and by piecing together what was happening at the time, after we talked to all -- and interviewed all the officer officers, that there was confusion with everybody running around, but this was a mobile shooter who had written manifestos on how to shoot and move, shoot and move, and he did that. he did his damage, but we did damage to him, as well. and we believe now that the city is safe and the suspect is dead and we can move on to healing. part of that healing is to get the support of our great state. i've had mayors from all over the state call me and lieutenant governor was here today, attorney general, and now the governor of the state of texas. thank you, governor abbott, for being here. >> absolutely. well, mayor, thank you. i want to thank you for the leadership that you always show, but also, especially the leadership that you provided over the pass 24 hours. you've been a voice of calm, of reason, of the type of leadership that dallas and texas needs at this time. before coming out here, i had the opportunity to meet

mr. johnson: president mccormick. my fellow americans. i accept your nomination. [applause] i accept the duty of leading this party to victory this year. and i thank you, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for placing at my side the man that last night you so wisely selected to be the next vice president of the united states. [applause] i know i speak for each of you and all of you when i say he proved himself tonight in that great acceptance speech. [applause] lyndon johnson: and i speak for both of us when i tell you that from monday on he is going to be available for such speeches in all 50 states. [applause] lyndon johnson: we will try to lead you as we were led by that great champion of freedom, the man from independence, harry s. truman. [applause] lyndon johnson: but the gladness of this high occasion cannot mask the sorrow which shares our hearts. so let us here tonight, each of us, all of us, rededicate ourselves to keeping burning the golden torch of promise which john fitzgerald kennedy set aflame. [applause] lyndon johnson: and let none of us stop

mr. johnson had even bigger plans. what could they have been?was the question what could they will be the well, he harley-davidson law making material he said he had bombs downtown. we cleared downtown with dgs. all of this ind ied cha was intended to make impro vised explosive devices and he planned to hurt as many people as he could. he wasn't able to get any bombs made or in place. he was able to get his rifle and kill a lot of heros and injure some snent civilians. >> i know the letters were r.b. >> what do you think r.b. stands for? >> we don't know what r.r. stands for. police will take we which he is how we come together. some of the buildings are back behind me. we are move towards pushing for more respect for one oochanothe. it is not going to tear us further apart. it will bring us closer together. >> does it make it more difficult because texas is an open carry state? one would argue thursday night at the protest it was a very confusing time to understand who is the shooter was when there were a number of people carrying weapo weapons

mr. johnson, who they were negotiating with last night told police he intended to kill white people. here is what the police chief, mr. brown, said about that earlier today. >> the suspect said he was up debt about "black lives matter." he said he was upset about the recent police shootings. the suspect said he was upset at white people. the suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. reporter: now the police have been searching that home in mesquite, texas, they believe his residence or address. there is confusion whether he owned house or whether it was his mother's house but the police have been there. david, you mention ad press conference which will come up at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. this is a press conference with texas governor greg abbott and dallas mayor mike rawlings and other local and state officials to address the ongoing investigation. david, there are still three people in custody, two men, one woman arrested as part of all that. david: that is true. we think he is the lone gunman but that may change at the press conference. emac, over to y

mr. johnson and company have received enough of our attention. for me they behaved like children, building a wooden tower or wooden blocks and then just knocking the whole thing down once they built it. that's childish play. children can do that. a politician shouldn't be playing like this in the eu. we have the result of the council. those results were scandalous in such a situation to declare that we need a further period for reflection and not to come up with anything specific and not saying what we should be reflecting upon, that reminds me of the action after the failed referendums of the european constitution in france and the netherlands. at that time, once again we said we need time for reflection and did that increase the confidence of the european people in the european council and the european parliaments? well they certain ly changed their attitudes and there i think the previous speaker is correct. if we don't dhang things, if we don't change then it's going to fail and we'll all be responsible for that. the messages are messages ind

johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. thankless families and loved ones in my district are suffering as a result of the recent gun violence that claimed the lives of five police officers and injured 11 more officers and civilians in dallas. the ambush on dallas police was the deadliest incident on u.s. law enforcement since 9/11, the september 11rks 2001 incidents in our country. yet house republicans are leaving washington today for a 52-day recess without taking any action to address gun violence epidemic happening right across this nation. the tragedy that occurred in my district as well as the countless other shootings that we seldom hear about begs the question of how many more innocent americans will have to lose their lives before we put an end to gun violence? the answer in my opinion should not be none. no more americans should have to lose their lives. there are a number of proposals in congress available for house republicans to bring to the floor for a vote. this legislation is available now. the speaker pro t

mr. johnson, both who are assistant u.s. attorneys, i would say, training the local police would be a number one priority. if all police departments were trained like new york and los angeles and i would say, chicago, very well trained, if they were trained in looking for the precursors of terrorism, we would be a lot safer and we should be doing that. >> thank you so much. happy independence day pup next, the chairman of the senate homeland security committee is with us. follow me on twitt twitter @mariabartiromo @sunday morningfutures. we'll be right back. e #1) when returning home from deployment, you know, you-- you have money saved up so you're lookin' for that car to drive around in, and usaa actually makes that process so much easier. you can find the car and you can find it to your liking by using their app. i'm definitely able to see savings, uh, through using the car buying on usaa. i mean, amazing savings. i was like, wow. if i can save this much, then i could actually maybe upgrade a little bit.
