ms. pelosi: i'm encouraged with our conversations with the president. i spoke to him on friday and i spoke to him yesterday and we talked about the fact that if we are going to deal with these issues, we have to deal in away that builds on the dream act and oes further to address the people in our country -- we have a path to citizenship. which is overwhelmingly supported by the american people. i think we are going to continue those conversations and hopefully that is something that can be done in the near future than the longer term. it has to be done. we can talk about one thing or another and we have talked about comprehensive immigration reform and since that didn't happen, we want to do the dreamers, a number of things that must be addressed, but hopefully we can work in away that respects the dignity and worth of every person and understands what immigration means to america and constantly reminding people and president ronald reagan's last speech as president of the united states when he spoke about vital force of the america's preimnens in the

ms. pelosi: i think so. reporter: [indiscernible] what is a good idea right before you walked in to accuse the president of a criminal coverup before you were trying to get a bill -- ms. pelosi: these are bills that passed the house. and i say almost every day the president's involved in a coverup. he chose to pick it up that day. there is nothing new that i said about the president. i think the president didn't want to pay for it. the purpose of that meeting is, we are going to do infrastructure. and i frule believe he wants to do, build infrastructure of the country in a green way -- i'm ot sure can about that that -- to raise the paycheck of the american worker. as president eisenhower demonstrated in the 1950's, when he introduced the interstate highway system as a national america.issue to unify i don't take any responsibility for the president's behavior but we will hold him accountable for it. reporter: the white house is offering to democrats. have you seen that? any comment -- ms. pelosi: what are y

ms. pelosi: they are working on it. one in the appropriations bill where we have the homeland security piece which is part of the 2020 appropriations and then the supplemental. we will have to have a supplemental because of the needs so great. i have confidence they will come to a conclusion on it. we have to. the needs are -- humanitarian needs are very great there. and we care very much about that. and we don't want them to poison pill what we are trying to do to alleviate that humanitarian challenge. i mean, really, taking children out of the arms of mothers, separating families, how could it be if people of faith that believe in the spark of divinity in every person, that we are all god's children that we treat eporter: will that be done by the end of the month? ms. pelosi: i think so so. we are on that path. reporter: [indiscernible] going back to the infrastructure [indiscernible] looking back, what is a good idea right before you walked in to accuse the president of a criminal coverup before you were trying to ge

the firm was criticised for not taking down the altered clip which made ms pelosi appear incoherent.ed the firm's wider struggle with deepfake videos. food delivery platforms are undermining public trust by hosting outlets with poor hygiene ratings, according the uk's food standards agency. the comments come after the bbc discovered hundreds of takeaways with low fsa hygiene scores available onjust eat and deliveroo. us regulators have uncovered a possible new flaw in boeing's troubled 737 max aircraft that is likely to push back test flights. the federal aviation administration said it had identified the potential risk during simulator tests but did not reveal details. theo leggett is in our business newsroom. pretty worrying development. yes, but i am sure not entirely unexpected. in the two crashes involving the 737 max, 346 people died. when it flies again, it has to be unquestionably safe. don't forget the federal aviation administration, the federal aviation administration, the us regulator, has been coming underan the us regulator, has been coming under an enormous amount of p

ms. pelosi. you know the commission's preference for on-site. that's clear. for this part of town the commission is piqued and not seeing potentially only market-rate housing that is changing the general composition of what is our responsibility to protect here. march 29, 2018 is barely a year ago when you were associated with the project at that time and didn't you know at that time of what you are telling us today? >> so at that time i was not involved in the project but at the time yes, the project sponsor recognized and acknowledged the preference for on-site affordable. since that time it's continued to dig in and moving forward with the project and having more discussions about how the units would be occupied, the developer considered the issue and the concern about the units sitting vacant for longer period of time and how it isn't meeting the city's housing policies and goals and the news and information that's come out regarding the lack of funds to be able to build some of the affordable housing project the city has on the books. so instead of placi

ms. pelosi: the president also said he'd be interested in working together on allowing the cost -- lowering the cost of prescription drugs. we've had positive conversations with the dministration. so that is one area where we think we have to go through our committee process on that but that's something we can put forward. whether it would be done before the august recess, i don't know. our priority is to pass the proceedings bill. one thing congress must do is pass the appropriation bills. pace we y proud of the are on that and supplemental to that. by the end of june we want to have all that done. in addition to that we want to have -- i don't want to put a date on it but i think we're making progress on the prescription drug bill. yesterday we had a enrollment ceremony and i had the democrats and republicans on the veterans' affairs committee for the blue water legislation had this address, the agent orange is specific but it's a big deal in the veterans community and i was very excited about it because when i the vietnam vets were having a massive hunger strike in los angeles i spent a

ms. pelosi say the day before yesterday when she was asked about interior enforcement and starting to deporton orders,s said what's the point, inteen i don't remember enforcement -- interior enforcement, what's the point. obviously they want open borders. maria: we're talking about a million apprehensions this year, that's what we're on pace for. so do you think you and your colleagues are going to be able to attack those loopholes, the flores agreement, asylum standards, that has yet to be taken care of. >> i hate to say, i told you i was optimistic about g-20, i'm not optimistic about the democrats and the house helping us close some of these loopholes. maria: you brought this up earlier. you're talking about all of these 2020 hopefuls taking a position, taking the stage last night and saying that they are vowing to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants if they are elected. i have to get your reaction once again. first, listen to this. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.

ms. boggs roberts: we are standing here in the boggs room. as my mother and speaker pelosi mentioned. my grandmother was born before women won the right to vote, and yet became an ambassador and a formidable force in american politics. this history is recent. it is important to know. people say, learn women's history for role models for girls. but the main reason to know it, is because if you do not learn about women's history, you are getting history wrong. [applause] and the reason to know about this movement in women's history is that they won. they were incredibly successful. they changed the world. they did it entirely by women and for women. if you all want to change the world, and i really hope you all worse roleere are models than the suffragists. worse role models than the suffragists. they were incredibly successful to learn the history, vote, and then go out and change the world. thank you.

had you nancy pelosi defending ms-13 when president trump criticized.week on a daca amnesty bill that has tons of loopholes for criminal aliens who have violent criminal records and people like aoc who want to get rid of ice when really their sole job illegal immigration is to go into the country and into the interior and have deportation orders out. most of them have criminal records. and so when it comes to solving this problem. the white house keeps talking about democrats and not getting on board with any kind of legislation, but the fact is that lindsey graham has introduced an 11-page bill that actually solves this current problem it. doesn't mix in a bunk of other issues like daca or anything else. it is specifically focused to the issue of raising the asylum bar. making sure asylum claims from such americans are done in mexico and also allow being families to be detain ford 100 days instead of 20 so border patrol can process them floorly. 24 idea they don't want to do anything in terms of democrats is ridiculous because it is a serious problem.

ms. that policy is being challenged in u.s. courts. house speaker nancy pelosi called it a "failed" policy which "violates the rights of asylum seekers under u.s. law and fails to address the root causes of central american migration." last week mr. trump suddenly announced a plan to impose tariffs on nearl$350 billion worth of mexican imports, starting at five percent on monday june 10, and growing to 25% by october, unless mexico did more to stop migrants from coming to the u.s. u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin said today that he plans to speak with the governor of china's central bank one-on-one about the ongoing trade dispute between the two countries. mnuchin is attending the groupon of 20 major ies meeting in japan with financial leaders. the treasury secretary said that he expects progress to come later this month when president trump meetwith chinese president xi jinping in osaka at the g-20 summit. mnuchin said there are no plans for official trade talks befate eeting. pacific gas & electric announced day that it's turning of power temporarily to 1

ms. roybal-allard: madam speaker, let me begin by thanking speaker pelosi for making the dream and promise act one of the top 10 democratic priorities for the people and the judiciary committee for all their hard work on this bill. as co-author of h.r. 6, i rise in strong support of the rule and the dream and promise act. i will focus primarily on the dream portion of the bill. 18 years ago i was co-author of the original dream act known as the student adjustment act. today's vote on h.r. 6 is a major milestone in a long fight to protect dreamers who are part of the fabric of our american society. this bill eliminates the fear of deportation which each day haunts 2.1 million dreamers at school, at work, and as they care for their families. i represent 24,000 dreamers, the largest number of dreamers of any congressional district. i think of these talented and patriotic dreamers and the barriers that they have overcome to build lives and families in america, the only country they call home. i think of the courage that they have shown by standing up and sharing their stories of endurance, res

ms. garcia: mr. speaker, thank you our chair and to our leadership and in particular nancy pelosi for making sure that this bill was a priority bill. for me, i've dedicated a great part of my life in public service to helping immigrants who come to the united states in search of prosperous and dignified life. today i'm honored to participate in this historic day in the house of representatives. since 2001, when the dream act was first conceived, dreamers have waited. in 2012, daca enabled eligible young adults to work lawfully, attend school, and contribute to society without the constant fear of deportation. daca, however, does not provide a path to citizenship and it leaves out a huge number of deserving dreamers. now in 2019 there are still -- they are still waiting. they are americans in waiting. right now, dreamers live in fear of being deported to countries they may never have known, don't remember, or don't know at all. countries which they have little or no personal connection. and because of their status, most dreamers have never left the united states, never having the opportunity to know th

ms. velazquez: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in support of this legislation. let me thank speaker pelosi, chairman nadler, chairwoman lofgren, lucille roybal-allard and yvette clarke for all their work on this legislation. today, because of donald trump's anti-immigration policies, millions of immigrants across the country live in constant fear that they will face deportation and potentially be separated from their families. among these immigrant communities are recipients of t.p.s. or temporary protective status or d.e.d., deferred enforced departure. the portions of this bill i author state if you have been here in the u.s. for three years and have been here since january, 2017, then you can apply for legal permanent residence and from there pursue citizenship. when we talk about our t.p.s. and d.e.d. populations, we are talking about some of our most vulnerable neighbors. these are people who fled natural disasters or political violence. they came here with a heart felt belief that the words incribed at the base of the statue of liberty, give me your huddled masses, yearning to breath

ms-13 have a spark of divinity in their soul. while they're macheting your head off of? that kind of spark of divinity? gregg: yes. well, that's nancy pelosiestion about iran. you know, bernie sanders is saying, oh, the president's going to take us into war. no, if anything, he'll do what reagan did. in operation preying mantis back in the 1980s, tactical strikes against iranian oil platforms, let's sink or cripple their iranian navy ships. back then, gee, all of a sudden iran stopped their aggression. >> does anybody listen to bernie sanders on national curt? the man who took -- security? the man who took the his honeymoon in the soviet union when it was still the soviet union? i worked for donald trump, and i know above all else he cares about this nation, about national security, and he a always wants to bring our guys home. this isn't about interventionism, this is about the biggest state sponsor sponsor of terrorism that was given $150 billion by the obama administration. we are not going to facilitate terrorists anymore. that's why there's a new sheriff in town. gregg: all right. sebastian gorka, thanks very much. >> thanks, gregg. g
