. >> congressman rouda, do you believe this is presidential harassment?as required under the constitution of the united states of america. we are suppose today provide appropriate oversight into the administration which is what we are doing. remember, mueller is a republican who was appointed by a republican who was overseen by republican attorney general, so this is not what i would call harassment. i would say just the opposite, this is a very fair process and part of the process is making sure that that report is made available to congress as well as the public with redactions, appropriate redactions which by the way mueller has already done that in the report. that's part of the understanding here, why we have to wait. in preparation of this report, mueller knows that he cannot have in the body of the agreement grand jury testimony and other things that need to be redacted or at least moved into appendix. the report was ready to be decimated to congress immediately. >> is this an extension of the, quote, mueller witch hunt as the president calls it be

representative, rouda thank you for being here.hank you. >> martha: matt gaetz of florida a member of the judiciary committee. good to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> martha: what's your response to that you heard out congressman, he said that congress can handle it. you know, they look at a lot of classified documents and they can be trusted with it and it should be turned over right away there were summaries at the beginning of each section, apparently and you heard what he said. even summaries referenced grand jury testimony from what i have seen. dealing with the consequences of their own eroding credibility. how can democrats just say we need members of congress to be able to look at intelligence information and then cast their opinions or views on it when the last 22 months adam schiff and other democrats have been saying that they had actual evidence that they have cold hard evidence of collusion and there is no dispute, martha, as to the conclusion of the mueller report that there was no criminal conspiracy between trump

. >> congresswoman rouda, to the south of you, a border that's the focus of it seems all discussionsnd all discussions having to do with the department of homeland security which was formed to keep america from threats, not an immigration agency. to the north of california, you have silicon valley, desperate for more talent and puzzled by the fact that people who they think, the break in immigration is something entirely different than donald trump does. how do you go and deal with the issues of immigration in your constituency? >> yeah, the big challenge is the political rhetoric that has entered the discussion, driven mostly by the president. there really is an opportunity for bipartisan support in addressing our immigration issues. everybody wants secure borders. everybody wants secure ports. everybody wants to stop the interdiction of drugs coming in to our country but also have a fair process and make sure we're having individuals come who can help create businesses and fill needed jobs here in thehetoric b politicized as president trump does by build the wall and make mexico pa

let's get after it with congressman harley rouda, democrat from california. best to your family this weekend, sir. >> thanks, chris. >> all right. so how do you see it? >> well, i think it's a little more complicated than just jumping on board or off board on the idea of impeachment. we still have to get through this report. it's 400 plus pages and i will say this, for your viewers and everybody in our country, i'm reading it. i'm not all the way through it but if you just read the table of contents and the first ten pages your jaw will drop. it is amazing what our president and the people around him have been up to. >> you know what's interesting, so the argument from the president's lawyers is now this, says who? mueller? that's not fact. this is his investigative speculation. these are allegations. this was never tried in a court. it's a very clever little piece of soft history, if you think about it. they knew, and mueller knew, and i'm sure they knew going into it he couldn't indict the president, and he didn't think he could, he wasn't go to, and now th

pleased to be part of the technology committee along with cherise davids, kendra horn, and harley rouda, three great new members. you know, when we look at the speed of technology, even if my own lifetime, for those who are checking, born in 1978, just amazing the changes that we've seen from the rise of personal computers to cell phones, to gaming consoles. i started out on a nintendo. my brother had a commodore. he was a few years older than me. sharing music and movies to social media accounts, things that did not exist when i was first growing up, and then we saw those changes. there were all these different verbs that came out, to google it or tweet it or facebook, or i anything. you put i in front of anything. or i need that in realtime. our whole vernacular has changed. i come from a district where we are right next to the busiest space port in the world, cape canaver canaveral. we're ho-- we develop training exercises for the military as well as working on video games and even our theme parks take advantage of that technology. we have aerospace, cybersecurity, cloud storage, and
