scalise: i thank the gentleman for the schedulele update. i would like to inquire, we know that there is only seven legislative days left for congress to meet its required deadline to provide a budget, april 15 deadline. what troubles me is that there has been no budget brought through the house budget committee. in fact, there's been reports that your majority doesn't plan to bring a budget at all. obviously the budgets are very important to show the priorities of our congress, to show the priorities of each of our majorities, to, as we did in seven of the eight years we were in the majority, not only doing a budget, but then this last year we were able to achieve a two-year budget agreement so we were able to know with certainty what the budget numbers were that we would actually be working on to draft appropriations bills. again, the bills that carry out the priorities of congress to show the country how we're going to properly fund government at the levels that we, as a congress, set, which is what the budget does. as i have seen there i

i'd like to now turn it over to whip scalise. mr. scalise: thank you. appreciate the leadership. i'm glad that the mueller investigation is finally over. and he found what we found a long time ago. there was never any collusion between trump or the trump campaign and russia. in fact, we, again, found that a long time ago there was over 20 million of taxpayer money that was spent -- $20 million of taxpayer money that was spent on this investigation, and it completely vindicates president trump. and let's be clear. when you look at some of the wild and baseless accusations that were made over the last two years by leading democrats here in congress, includinged a a-- adam schiff, chairman schiff, who said there was more than circle evidence, that there is collusion -- circumstantial evidence, that there was collusion today is about -- collusion. today is about accountability to those who made reckless claims. who not only made those claims against the president, but continue. they can't give it up. they continue to want to harass the president and his family. enough is enough. the

scalise: i thank the gentleman. whether or not there's an ultimate move towards something like impeachment, which i hope wouldn't come, with all the things we know there are, no high crimes or misdemeanors, there's not even collusion. there are still committee chairmen in your own party that are talking about impeachment. it's not something made up. there's leaders in your party talking about it. the chairman of the judiciary committee issued more than 80 subpoenas. again, you can keep looking -- look at the summary of the mueller report. 2,800 subpoenas. more than 500 search warrants. interviewed approximately 500 witnesses. so, you can talk about people that were indicted that had nothing to do with the collusion, nothing to do with any ties to the president, maybe somebody had filed a false tax return. go throw the book at them. mr. cohen came and lied to congress. and he deserves to go to jail for it. what did your majority do? they brought him back as their star witness. a man who was already guilty of lying to

scalise: i thank the speaker for yielding. really a special moment for all of us to pay tribute to don young for this great achievement, being the longest serving republican in the house, especially for someone who loves this institution so much. as we talked about john dingell and had the honor of serving with john dingell in the house energy and commerce committee and seeing his passion, not just for the issues he believes in in fighting for the auto industry and so many other issues, but for his love of the people's house. and don young has that same love. anybody that knows don young knows that his secrets to longevity are always speaking his mind, fighting every day to be a champion for the great people of alaska, and always speaking his mind. on a somber note, don started his career out of a tragedy. a lot of you remember back in october of 1972 there was a plane crash in alaska. and begich and boggs who at the time was the majority leader went down in a plane crash. and there was a massive search to try to find the plan

scalise: i agree we should continue to honor all of those >> niels lesniewski, senior senate staff writer for "rollcall" joins us ahead of the senate debate on the resolution to terminate the president's national emergency declaration to build a southern border wall. when will the senate take up this resolution, and what is the current plan? niels: most likely the vote is going to be on thursday because the senate is about to depart for a weeklong recess for st. patrick's day. this will likely be the last legislating the senate does before it leaves. what we are looking to see is whether or not senate republicans get together and muster the votes to try to at least amend the resolution of termination as it came over from the house that would effectively stop the national emergency designation for the southern border wall. we do not know whether or not there will be enough republican senators who will be supportive of making any changes to the resolution as it came from the house. >> the house last month 245-182. 13 republicans supported the resolution. what will we see in the senate, and

the worst day bar none, the day steve scalise almost lost his life on the ballfield in arlington, virginia. thank god he didn't. we didn't run around saying the guy watches msnbc or he is bernie supporter. nobody should do that. nobody should blame folks other than the evil, hateful shooter. our u.n. ambassador to new zealand, scott brown, former senator from massachusetts put it very well, he said you don't give platform to credibility to someone rotten to the core. people should focus on what the authorities are saying here. so we avoid copycats and don't see signs in the future. tech companies are struggling not to be a platform for hate and evil in the first place, murder was live streamed. this guy wanted attention, doing rotten, evil, hateful, person. steve: yeah. >> who wanted to kill people and live streamed it. so we have a lot to unpack there. i think people look for the cheap and easy, especially fits their own ideology. by the way, folks if you're not expert on this, stop weighing in like you are. we don't need to hear your opinion on every single thing, instead read, read what

congressman steve scalise, a victim himself, of gun violence, reacts. but first, liberals repeal free speech. this is the focus of tonight's angle. in 1964 on the uc berkeley campus, the free speech movement was born. and the drama unfold and thousands of students, they gathered to prevent the rest of the civil rights activist and they surrounded a police car on sparrow plaza. there was a mass sitting with students demanding no disciplinary action for violating the administration's than free-speech restrictions. this was mario savio, the leader of that free speech movement, in his famous speech. >> there is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. you can't passively take part. objective put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop and eve got to win the case of the people who run it who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. >> laura: unless you're free, the machin

but maybe not the democrat that hated republicans and tried to kill a number of them, shot steve scalise or that the violence against trump supporters. but even as horrible as the shooting of steve scalise, there's no moral equivalence to any of those things called out in this resolution yesterday on even things that weren't named. no moral equivalence to the holocaust. six million people killed because they were part of a race, part of the children of israel between 1933 and 1945. when people have said never again, then never again. this doesn't -- yesterday doesn't mean never again. it means we're starting this process all over again. >> let me ask it a different way. if it had not been for representative omar's comments, would you have been talking about anti-semitism on capitol hill? from the examples that you gave, many other things that perhaps need to be spoken about that are outside the realm of this. >> well, i'm sure we would have been because the anti-semitic feelings are there. they're being expressed, whether it was by her or someone else. but it's critical, whether you're a

she needs to, as a congressman scalise highlighted, needs to be removed from your committee. even though he was apologetic he was removed from all his committee. of course this speech and debate clause protects a right to say it is a member of congress, but that doesn't mean she should be given sanction for it. it is party big enough? is there a tent big enough to allow for anti-semitism customer can certainly hope not. >> harris: congressman can we talk about repetitive motion in terms of this. the jc rc, the jewish council in minnesota, led by director, they don't like since they are appalled that she is trafficking in yet another anti-semitic trope. so this has happened even before she got to where she is now. she did politics earlier in minnesota. so repetitive motion is what's happening here. how to stop? by the way, he brought up steve king. representative steve king and what happened with him after his racist remarks. we are talking about is parity now in terms of what happened to her. >> i think our party has been consistent. our party is not big enough to tolerate ra

if you'll recall, shooter of the scalise shooting was a big fan of msnbc and i was fan over there. one of their anchors over there. now, when we hear the kind of arguments that were just made what they are saying in essence, is msnbc was responsible for the shooting of steve scalise. that's just crazy. bernie sanders had nothing to do with it you have to give peoplev responsibility for their aboutut -- for their acts and when you don't, what you're doing is effectively encouraging more of it and it's got stop! >> laura: we're going to get into this with tucker but they want to take certain words and descriptions and even ideologies off the table. we'll get into that with tucker. the college admission scandal, biggest story of the week before this obviously horrible act of evil in new zealand but some folks may have wanted to sit ouv commenting on it. watch. >> a lot of people will point outf that donald trump himself s a beneficiary of a system that's rigged in favor of the elite. >> how much sympathy would you have for these parents who are embroiled in this alleged cheating scand

. >> i wanted to ask congressman scalise a question. with seats democrats ran on this type of bill and are in effect celebrating that it is on the floor. how are you responding to senator mcconnell saying they would run against them? >> let's keep in mind, there were some democrats who ran on a proposal to raise taxes, and they are proposing many things. they ought to bring those bills up for a vote, because we see how cutting taxes has gotten our economy back on track. if they want to go on record for being in more -- for more government control, then we ought to have that debate. as far as the green new deal, many ran on that issue. frankly, there are a lot of democrats that flipped seats that are scared to death to vote on it. and i share senator mcconnell's feeling that we ought to have a vote on that too and fully debate it. but if you look at this bill, let's keep in mind, a lot of the seats that were flipped from republican to democrat were won by people who ran saying they were going to be pro-life and pro-gun. many of them alre

representative steve scalise tweeted in part, "this report gives credence to the claims that this was a witch hunt that cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars." it's unclear how much of the grand jury testimony and other evidence may be released, given what is confidential. many democrats say they are prepared to subpoena for the full report. >> sounds like it's just the beginning. we will see how it unfolds. lds. >>> the coroner is working to identify a man who was hit by a car by crossing the northbound lanes of highway 101 around 7:00 tonight north of the exit in mountain view. police say the victim was a white man in his 20s and may have been a transient. the driver stopped and is cooperating with investigators. police say it does not appear drugs or alcohol were a factor. >>> the wife police say shot her husband earlier this month now faces murder charges. paul shatswell died eight days after being shot inside his pittsburgh home. his wife, maria vitas was charged with one count of attempted murder, but now investigators will be seeking charges including murder. shatswell was

steve scalise out with a statement whose more forward leaning even though we do not know the report, the reports are there will be no new indictments, says scalise, confirms what we've known all along. there was never collusion with russia. the only collusion was between democrats and many in the media who pedaled this lie because they continue to refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election. he goes on to say that he's glad that attorney general barr is now in charge. mike emanuel now is with us -- standby, we are going to go back to our panel. chris wallace, dana perino, and juan williams for final thoughts. juan? >> at this point, i was taken from what we heard from the senate minority leader chuck schumer. i think he's speaking for a lot of people who are not trump fans when he said he not only wants the report, he wants the underlying documents. i think what you are going to see here is an emphasis on whether or not the white house does get a look at the report before the general public and is the white house allowed to comment on any of this before the public is allowed to

steve scalise and others wound at the congressional baseball practice.nd the guy loved fox news alert. bu -- lovedmsnbc. it's fine to debate how the president is handling it. but can people disagree with his views on that? but to say he's an inspiration for mass murder? beverly: we didn't see bernie and materials criticize him. so we do need to separate that. he needs to denounce white nationalism. he hasn't done that strongly enough. mollie: this is one of the worst things the media has don't last couple years. they flat out lied about what he said about white nationalism. howie: afte about charlottesvil. mollie: he specifically said i am not talking about the white nationalists and the neo-nazis. cap rrp you bring up the both side thing. consistentlier single time an issue comes up like this, whether it's what happened in pittsburgh in the synagogue or this circumstance halfway across the world, there is a desire to say because donald trump is not explicit enough, that is the hear it in tough out there, and because of that -- mollie: the guy who commit

well, i think it's important to fist start to comparison where you have the shooting against steve scalisebias of bernie sanders, bernie sanders was not criticized and in the same way we are seeing president trump being criticized. a lot of hypocrisy on how people want to attack someone over something that they have no responsibility for. so president trump has no responsibility in this and i think it's dangerous that we do blame actions of someone else. heather: another example trying to blame president trump on anything that happens? >> i think so. i also think we are in a divided time right now. i think that's why you see some of the rhetoric increase even more, one thing i will say, though, i think the president has had a missed opportunity to do one thing this is although he has spoken out against white nationalism in the past, i would encourage him to give a same strong answer defending white nationalism every time he's asked so any kind of question comes up it's very clear where he stands because sometimes the way he responds gives wiggle rooms for reporters to run with it even more

representative steve scalise was really leading our delegation.is in active discussions with speaker pelosi and her office. this is a bipartisan win for the country. a number of states and industries are affected. they are looking to get it to the floor at the earliest in may, the latest in july. to get this thing through, it is either this new deal or no deal, and he president was very clear about that. i think there's a number of industries that need the certainty of knowing what this framework is going to look like, so if we want to keep the economy moving forward on what should be a bipartisan issue, i think it will move. shery: i've got to say, you don't sound very convinced that it will actually be ratified this year, especially as we see canada and mexico still calling or stealing aluminum import tariffs to be lifted -- for steel and aluminum import tariffs to be lifted. can this deal happen with those in place? rep. waltz: i think it can. there truly are national security and locations on these tariffs. i was just at an armed hearing deali

scalise. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. scalise: thank you, mr. chairman, i thank the gentleman for those comments, go tigers. i want to rise in response to this bill that instead of being called for the people act should be called for the politicians act. let's look at some of the measures that involve taking over the elections process. section 5461 will allow billions of taxpayer money to be funneled into political campaign accounts. that's your hard-earned dollarsmark in -- in many cases going to fund a candidate for office that you oppose. think about that now let's look at section 1402 of this bill, mr. chairman. where they allow felons to vote. let's take for example a state that might have a law against felons voting. heavily debated in the state where they're allowed to have that ability to set their laws enshrined by the constitution. so here comes the federal government telling a state, for example, that if somebody went to federal prison for voter fraud, that they now have to let them be involved in the political process and vote even t

why can't they condemn steve scalise who went to a white supremacist conference? >> a response? trump has condemned hate in charlottesville. that comment you talked about. >> he said there were good people on all sides. >> you are trying to play us -- >> bigoted -- >> talking about people who support statues. >> we have the sitting governor of virginia who is still the sitting governor who refuses to step down. this member of congress who has been blatantly anti-semitic yet remains on foreign affairs committee. it is fine if they want to pass a broader resolution but they also have to clean up their own house and that is the point. heather: we are out of time but i will say we made our own point because we definitely deflected from omar herself and the statements she made. thank you both for joining us, we appreciate it. the time is 10 minutes until the top of the our. ever attempted double the minimum wage cleared its final hurdle. find for wearing flip-flops? the vacation hotspot charging tourists to grand for this style. ♪ audible members know listening has the power to chang
