nugent: mr. speaker, the question before the house is should the house consider h.res. 590. while it waives all points of order against consideration of the bill, the committee is not aware of any point of order. the congressional budget office bills, ed while 200 would impose intergovernmental and private sector mandates und in the unfunded reform mandate, it would fall below the threshold. the gentleman was using a point of order to debate a very important issue that he cares passionately about. i'm glad he's had the opportunity to bring it forward because we tend to agree on a lot of what he's saying and he knows that. we have talked on numerous occasions. but in order to allow this house to continue in scheduled business of the day, i urge our members to vote yes on the question of consideration of the resolution, and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida reserves his time. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, may i inquire how much time i have

nugent. mr. nugent votes aye. does anyone wish to change their vote? mr.speaker. >> i'm getting my shea-porters mixed up. i must change from no to aye. >> mr. bishop votes aye. has everyone voted? clerk will report the tally. >> the clerk will report the tally. >> mr. chairman there were 37 aye votes, 24 no votes. >> so the amendment passed. the amendment is agreed to. the next amendment is number -- committee -- the next one is 197-r-1, amendment offered by mr. johnson that we postponed. we'll call it. this adds direct solar to the department's list of qualified renewable energy sources. the question now occurs on the amendment offered by mr. johnson. the clerk will call the roll. >> mr. mckeon. >> no. >> mr. mckeon votes no. >> mr. smith. mr. smith votes no. mr. thornberry. mr. thornberry votes no. miss sanchez. miss sanchez votes aye. mr. jones. mr. mcintyre. mr. mcintyre votes aye. mr. forbes. mr. forbes votes no. mr. brady. mr. brady votes aye. mr. miller. mr. miller votes no. mrs. davis. mrs. davis votes no. mr. wilson. >> no. >> mr. wilson votes no.

nugent: mr. speaker, it's amazing that those on the other side of the aisle would say this is trivial. this impacted american citizens , and i won't disagree that it may have impacted those on the left. but to a greater extent, it impacted those on the right. and to americans, one of the most powerful organizations there are in america is the i.r.s. they can instill fear into your heart when you get that letter. so when you have one that does something that is so outrageous as what they've done, it's not trivial. at least not to the people i represent. mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for three minutes. mr. kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman. i'm reminded of a passage in the bible. if you can see a speck of sawdust in your neighbor's eye but not a plank in your own. isn't it amazing that we have to go to a resolution to restore the american people their faith a

nugent was so mean you couldn't find 12 people to convict bernie. bringing him cakes and pies in jail. >> when he got to jail, when he was arrested, women stood in line to bring him cakes and pies. and two women shoe polished on the back of their cadillac free bernie and drove it around the town square. >> reporter: in a bizarre twist in an already made for hollywood tale, bernie, who is serving a life sentence, has been released from prison on bond while a texas appeals court takes a new look at the case. one of the judge's conditions for his release is that he live in the garage apartment of the movie's director, richard linkletter. he is a famed movie director who lives in austin, texas. he directed the hipster classic "dazed and confused" who introduced the world to a little known actor matthew mcconaughey. >> i get holder, they stay the same age. >> are you surprised? why do you think he wanted to take him into his home? >> i think rick saw what townspeople saw in bernie, this gentility, this kindness, this decency. it doesn't make sense that s

if you don't know history you think ted nugent is an idiot. yes, he is, but that goes a lot deeper because to call someone a mongrel if you touch on something a lot worse than hatred of black people. it's hatred of race mixing. i did know that going up until i read about and i realize the worst thing you could commit in this country was to have a black man mpeg made a white woman. that was it. that was the worst thing that could ever happen. so when ted nugent is doing that, he's not just being a stupid rock star. he's calling upon a very age-old tradition of hatred. so for me history is on his important to know where you are and to know where you come from. and something like ted nugent tells me yes, we have made tremendous progress in this country but we sure have a ways to go. yes, ma'am. >> this is a two-part question. >> did you said a two-part or a jew part? half of me can answer that. okay. >> why did you decide to write as the comic book knowing that would limit its t.o.? and didn' did it have anything o with being dyslexic? >> three r

nugent: i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: amendment number 1, printed in house report number 113-426, offered by m nugent of florida. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 557, the gentleman from florida, mr. nugent, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida. mr. nugent: madam chairman, i truly appreciate this and i appreciate your service. madam chairman, my amendment is simple, it would end the practice of members leasing vehicles on the taxpayers' dime. i'm not just convinced this is a necessary use of taxpayer money, neither are my constituents that i represent. we are asking agencies throughout the federal government to use their funding carefully and cut out unnecessary nice-to-have things. we ought to apply the same standard to ourselves. in many ways we have done an excellent job of doing that. funding the house of representatives has been cut since republicans took the majority by over 14%. we have cut our own m.r.a.'s and committee funds. we ha

nugent makes a powerful case. as more veterans return from combat, we're seeing increased involvement in the justice system. the committee did establish the veterans core program in 2013 and increased funding for this year. the president didn't request funding specifically for this program. the mental health court program is important as well and given the significance -- significant percentage of the justice involved population of mental health disorders, these courts help with recidivism. i think mr. nugent makes a very powerful case. i support the amendment and urge its adoption and i yield back. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. fattah: i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. fattah: i will not request a recorded vote on this amendment but i wanted to speak on behalf of it. colleagues in my home state of pennsylvania, have been very interested in the veterans' courts. i was origin nayly involved in the drug courts in penns

nugent is the expert on this and so i yield him three additional minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. nugent: i don't know if i'm the expert but i have the heart, i have the heart to make sure that america is right. it's the constitutional responsibility that this body makes sure that we have a strong defense for our homeland . it is a huge responsibility and the not one that's taken lightly. as you see in the vote that was taken in house armed services committee 61-0, it's one that's shared by all members. we've seen the threats, and unfortunately not everybody knows what the threats are. but if you look at and read the news, whether it's russia today , resurging its influence within europe, whether whether it's china. , ether it's iran, north korea there are so many players out there that have ill intentions to this, our people, to this ation. we have africa, the continent that has seen a huge increase in violence that's associated with al qaeda. we have threats around this world, those that would say this w

this morning florida congressman rich nugent is with us. sir, good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: willow wisconsin lerner go to jail no. >> that's a possibility. but you the whole idea behind this content resolution was to get her to tell the american people, what's happened within the irs? this is not the position we wanted to end up in. she would have cut this off right away by testifying. she went and spoke to the prosecutorial aspect of it at the u.s. attorney's office without invoking her fifth amendment right. this is, we don't believe she did by her actions and her conversation and her testimony in front of the committee. and then after she says everything we wants to say, then she says, hey, listen i'm invoking my fifth amendment right because i really don't want to answer any of your questions but i will answer the u.s. attorney's questions. it just doesn't make sense. bill: why risk that instead of just talking? what makes sense to you? >> well, you know as a former law enforcement officer this does not make sense to

nugent: mr. speaker, for the purpose of debate only, i yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts, congressman mcgovern. pending which time i yield myself as much time as i may consume. during consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is or the purpose of debate only. mr. speaker, i ask for unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. nugent: mr. speaker, i rise in support of this rule, house resolution 568. house resolution 568 provides for consideration of two important resolutions. both resolutions are critical to getting to the bottom of the i.r.s. targeting of conservative nonprofit groups and they're critical to holding this government accountable. the groups who are discriminated against deserve to know the full truth and so do the american people. to this day, mr. speaker, no one has been held accountable or the actions of the i.r.s. i wish that

nine months later, he confessed he shot nugent in the back. >> no, no, what have i done? >> reporter: and hid her body in a freezer under packages of frozen food. now 17 years later, he is free on bond under the conditions he get counselling and live with richard linklater, director of the movie, and one of tedie's biggest advocates. his lawyers uncovered new evidence that he was sexually abused as a teen and argued in court along with harsh treatment from nugent meant he deserved a lighter sentence. the prosecuting attorney agreed. >> when i am given the new information that would have changed the outcome in a sense of fairness, i had no choice. >> nugent's granddaughter wants tedie to serve out his life sentence. >> it just doesn't feel like this is right. it doesn't feel like this is justice for my grandmother. >> reporter: if an appeals court agrees, tedie could eventually be freed for time served, but for now, tedie will be living with the man who brought bernie's story of murder to life. for "today," janet shamlian, nbc news, houston. >> interesting turn of events.

ted nugent called you a subhuman mongrel. it makes me think whether we can take the guy who wrote "wang dang sweet poontang" seriously anymore. mitch mcconnell said his number one priority was to get the president out of office. so mitch? congrats on being just two years away from realizing your goal. you did it. kind of. mr. president, your harest critics compared to you adolf hitler and satan. those are outrageous. you look way older than those guys. just because morgan freeman played a president a few times that doesn't mean you have to look exactly like him. all right? but you're healthy which is great, every year. the white house doctor checks the president's colon for polyps and george clooney's head. yes. oh! all right. yeah. it's good to see that white house press secretary and boy detective jay carney is here. big night for jay. i haven't seen him this nervous since the president told him just go out there and tell them the web site is broken. they'll understand. and that actually probably was a moment. um. mr. presi

all they need now is ted nugent, that anti-government rancher, clint eastwood, and the obama rodeo clown, and they'll be set. they'll be all set. joining me now is e.j. dionne and joan walsh. thank you both for being here tonight. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> e.j., donald trump, phil robertson. i mean, are these the faces of the republican leadership at this point? >> well, i had the same thought as you had, that you expressed earlier, which is i didn't realize what a shrewd political analyst phil robertson was. it's very hard to figure out what he was doing there. i think what you're seeing here is a real kind of contradiction or problem the republicans have with their midterm strategy. i mean, this has to be an appeal to the right end of their pace to make sure they turn out. and the hope is, i guess, that no one else will notice, because when you bring folks like that up, what you risk doing is turning out the other base where i think democrats, as we have talked about before, have real worries about turning out their base at the midterm, and these guys remind those folks why

nugent, and it caused him to snap and shoot her. >> do you believe that? >> i stay in the middle. the story is still developing. there's a lot of people that, of course, don't believe it. >>. there has been an outrage, it's a small east texas conservative down. they argue everybody build claim abuse to get out of prison. the argument is if the jury had heard that story, would they have been more likely to vote for second degree murder, which had a total punishment of 20 years, versus a life sentence. bernie served 18 years, that was presented to the judge. but the key - the key was that the district attorney, the long-term pug nashes prosecutor agreed with the jury. he thought he was a killer, re-evaluated bernie, looked at the evidence, bernie's record in prison, where he was a model inmate and decided he served enough time. >> before the sexual abuse claims, i mean, didn't - weren't there people that believed bernie bernie tiede couldn't have done this. the suggestion - it seemed bizarre, but the suggestion was that the woman was so many. you know, it's like he killed her becaus

sometimes people -- ted nugent used a slur against president obama. these things happen.on't necessarily represent a party, but it's something that can certainly be used as a weapon. we've seen that, certainly, in the case of the republican party. how does the party confront that? >> well, that's exactly right. think, neither party has a monopoly on racism, and the way to confront it, like i said, is to have a zero tolerance policy, to react swiftly and immediately to say, this is not acceptable. this is not what we as a party represent or our values. i think by doing that today, sends a loud and clear message to every american that republicans don't stand behind those comments, that that is a comment of win man who's, obviously, a little deranged. >> what do you think, charles? >> well, i think that is a challenge. i think ron's right, that no one has a monopoly on it, but a lot of times the high profile cases, too many of them, are on one end of the political spectrum, and that is the right. so i think the republican party has an issue there trying to figure out how do

i'd stick ted nugent in there first. he would take care of the constitution. >> all right. to take a live look at washington on day two of the effort to ache back the country. you can see they weren't even close in their numbers. there was an overall shortage of people. only a few hundred showed up, which is a far cry from the millions that the organizer planned for. now to be fair, it would have been a near impossible task because they would have had to more than quadruple the turnout of the largest gathering ever which was the red sox victory parade in 2004 and that brought about 3 million people out. perhaps the organizers got a little too excited by tea party victories in nebraska and west virginia this week, but as of now, the tea party is two and four in the midterm primaries. the primaries were supposed to show the strength of the tea party. while the next test comes next tuesday, so far it actually looks like the establishment is striking back. what happened to all the hoopla and what does it mean for the fall elections and control of congress? our panel is back. so
