let's start with steve king himself. just last week king filed an amendment to the commerce-justice-science appropriations bill that would require the department of justice to -- quote -- "investigate the department of homeland security's use of prosecutorial discretion towards certain immigrants, including beneficiaries of the deferred action for childhood arrival or daca program, that the obama administration announced in 2012 of june." when discussing his amendment, steve king -- listen to this -- pejoratively referred to the daca program as -- quote -- "deferred action for criminal aliens." that's what he thinks. that's what he thinks. that every immigrant is a criminal. that's because king has said, when describing this program, that -- quote -- "for everyone who is a valedictorian, there is another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds, and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they have been hauling marijuana across the dessert. was king criticized by the house leadership for these comments? was he chasti

there is no doubt that at the moment steve king is winning. republicans are implementing his policy objective of inaction to perfection because they are so fearful. but hopefully, just like the u.s. team, house republicans can overcome their fears, appeal to their more noble aspirations, and we can pull vick fishery the jusjaws of defeat at the very ed here and pass the immigration reform legislation our country so desperately needs. mr. president, i yield the floor. and i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: ms. mikulski: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. ms. mikulski: mr. president, i ask the call of the quorum be vacated. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. mikulski: mr. president, we've been on the motion to proceed to proceed to our three appropriations bills since 10:00 this morning. it's almost been four hours. and it's true, we can -- under the cloture, there are 30 hours of debate. we could let this go on until 11:00 tonigh

and what we know... can help you grow. >>> and in pretenders tonight, king of shame, steve king, the a kcoherent twee but lacked the language or the logic. king implied susan rice is working for terrorists and managed to make up some words along the way. king wrote, susan rice lied to the american people about bergdahl taken in battle, looks like both sides swappees and negotiators are working for al qaeda. here's the great mind who came up with this accusation. >> when i go down there and sit on the border, i come to this conclusion, we can't shut that off unless we build a fence and wall. for everyone a valedictorian another 100 out there they weigh 130 pounds and ca. s the size of can't el lopes because they're halling we can with the kind of current that wouldn't kill somebody but would discourage them from fooling around with it. >> it's a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch animals fight, but it's not something wrong to induce watching people fighting. >> steve king hasn't exposed susan rice's real bos, king exposed the brick in his great wal

and we're going to beat steve king and elect fighting jim mauer the next congressman from iowa's fourth. now i'm sure also on your mind, especially given the outstanding service that came to our country from your united states senator tom harkin that you have an important u.s. senate race here, don't you, this year? yes, indeed you do. and there couldn't be a bigger contrast than the choices of the people of iowa are going to be presented. in bruce brailley and joni ernst. bruce brailley's cause is the cause of a stronger middle class in iowa. greater opportunity. an iowa where everyone's included. and where everyone is needed and where we help each other in order to move forward. now, joni earns of the -- ernst wants to privatize social security. she wants to turn the medicare into a voucher system. she wants to repeal the federal minimum wage. now, how is any of that going to help strengthen middle class opportunity and middle class families in iowa? she even wants to roll back the clean water act and eliminate the department of education. how much less schooling do you think would be

he was adopting the language late in the race, that we typically hear from steve king, with illegal aliens and saying he would not support obama's amnesty plan. >> i think it was more simple than that. eric cantor forgot his job was to go to washington and fight for conservative ideas. that's what got him in trouble. he went there and all of a sid wanted to be speaker of the house. and his base, he left them behind. he did not take care of them. when you're hanging out with john boehner and losing to barack obama, who let's be honest, not exactly political prime right now, this is what happens when you don't pay attention at home. >> can we also discuss about what alternative universe we are in where eric cantor was not conservative enough. maybe he didn't shut it down long enough but i think what this really illustrates is just how conservative the contemporary republican party is. this is frankly the happiest person in america tonight is hillary clinton. because this is who she's going to be running against in 2016. >> i disagree. >> and this is not america. >> i totally disagree. >> i b

texas congressman who could run and to give you an idea of how angry some republicans are here, steve king on the right-hand side of your screen, a republican from iowa, he and a handful of others have been quietly whispering they should boost the entire leadership team including boehner and start fresh. that's not going to happen. boehner isn't going anywhere. they need some form of stability through this transition period and as one said, it can't just be "lord of the flies." >> i watch this channel and i heard republican analyst after republican analyst say that if republicans are seen as blocking immigration reform, they don't get latino votes and they're not a national party anymore. they're a congressional party but they can't win the white house. is that still true and does this play into that in 2016? >> because of redistricting and the way in which those districts are, republicans know the primaries will be very conservative and comprehensive immigration reform or anything called amnesty will not go well. the internal upheaval in this leadership election could slow down the legisl

about what happened, why you lost, one of your colleagues, republican colleagues in the house, steve king, had this to say, in a tweet, election night, earthshaking primary results in virginia tonight. resounding rejection of amnesty and support for rule of law. is that what this was? was this is an earthshaking result, rejection of amnesty, of immigration reform? >> first of all, i don't think there's any one particular reason the outcome was what it was. if you think about it, there's a number of things that goes through voters' minds when they go into the voting booth. as far as immigration, my position never wavered. i'm not for a comprehensive amnesty bill. i have always said, we ought to deal with the kids that didn't break any laws. i have always said that. it's a principle positioned. one thing that offers the only plausible way forward. now, did that infuriate folks on both sides? sure. it's the position i think incremental informed approach to immigration reform is what we need. we need to focus on things we agree on. i have told the president this, my colleagues are well aware

so you have the camps, the steve kings, the conservative members who are going to look at this and sayoh, my goodness maybe we should move on boehner in january if he doesn't step down and retire or whatnot. all indications are he's going to stay on. we'll see. you'll see a conservative member definitely getting a leadership. steve calise running for that whip position. he's well liked and tolerated by the establishment that has conservative credentials that everyone adheres to as being good. >> luke, you do get the sense that ryan and boehner and to some degree mccarthy are circling the wagons and saying, okay, we've got to get this done our way? >> they are trying. what they can do is have someone that perhaps they can work with and that is a scalise. that in some cases would be a pete sessions or hencherlings. they're in a unique position now. nobody, negotiatobody, nobody, s coming. it's a huge, huge shock. >> it is, isn't it? >> really. so what do they do? can they try and move the party to the middle so that -- or get the immigration issue figured out so this doesn't happen again

you'll probably have those extreme guys to the right like the steve kings, the thomas masseys of theorld who kinds of come here with the idea they want to blow up business as usual. i also think you'll get some people in there that don't think kevin mccarthy has done a good job, who want to protest him being majority leader. there are some folks upset about the process. they thought this election happened too quickly. one week after was the leadership's way of steam rolling mccarthy through so they'll protest against that. if for some reason this was not done on the first ballot, that would be a bigger upset than what happened to cantor last week from how we're reading these tea leaves. >> robert, the third race there, the big battle for the third post. steve scalise, how does he lose? it does feel like everything is sort of building around him, but how does he lose? if he loses today, why would it happen? >> i don't think it's going to happen. i was here at the capitol early this morning meeting with boehner allies. a lot of them last night turned toward scalise. they believe that v

the question is this, will you let steve king be your spokesperson? dictate what your party does on immigration, which is nothing, for the next year and a half. that is what you are doing. that is exactly what the republicans are doing. or do you summon a little bit of courage and pass immigration reform that will be good for you, your country, and your party. friends inourage my the house to look around and realized that the tea party, while still very powerful, has peaked. in only one major election did they cause the demise of an incumbent. is eric cantor. if you look at the lindsey graham election, the mitch mcconnell election, the election in oklahoma, renee ellmers campaigned on immigration reform conservative district. their fear is greater than the reality. they are quaking in their boots and america suffers. i am still hopeful. maybe they will come to their senses, because people usually at the end of a day do what is in their self-interest. it is clearly in the self-interest of the republican party to move forward, speaker boehner knows it.

this is what the crowd looked like when congressman steve king of iowa dressed in anti-immigration rallyattering of people. this is the size of the crowd when pro-reform activists marched in washington. it's fair to say immigration advocates did win august, august of 2013. they kept up their end of that supposed bargain with john boehner, but as we all know, immigration reform in the house didn't happen and hasn't happened. it's not that members of both parties haven't tried. john boehner called for the legalization of undocumented immigrants on paper. the gop retreat was described as a major shift. as recently as this month, politico reports that florida republican mario diaz has been trying to drum up support for his colleagues for a bill. just yesterday in chicago pro-reform advocates demonstrated out the district office of congressman dan lapinski but the rally came after this happened. house majority leader eric cantor being kicked out of congress. he became a short -- he lost his primary and then lost his leadership position as well because he failed to fend off a tea party challen

there have been some heavy hitters who've lived at this address -- casino king steve wynn, hollywood star richard gere, and for the last 10 years, this woman. >> in the summer, it's wonderful because it's just green and you feel like you're really in the middle of the park. >> this is sale johnson and her dog, dozer. if her name sounds familiar, it should. this former fashion model is the ex-wife of new york jets owner woody johnson, who also happens to be an heir to the johnson & johnson fortune. so, tell us what makes this apartment special in your view. >> i think because it feels like a home instead of an apartment. >> before the johnsons split in 2001, they lived with their three daughters just up fifth avenue at 834. roaming the halls were rockefellers, charles schwab, and the media tycoon rupert murdoch. >> this happened to be the very first apartment i looked at the first day i went shopping, and when they showed it to me, they said, "well, it had just been redone three years before. you could move right in." and i looked at it, and i didn't want to say anything. but in my mi

ugly fight where they are more or less making it impossible to buy a james patterson book or even steve kingng bowling bo >> how this rthey doing turning a profit? >> the key question with amazon. in his first shareholder letter in 1997 he attaches to every shareholder letter since then i'm going going after the future cash flows and not the reported earnings and not the bottom line after everything. they haven't. and they don't. so trades at this incredible multiple to earns as we say but investors have been happy because they have always generated the significant revenue growth of this company and that is, i think been the key. >> are they making money? >> not a lot, not a lot. as joe said, they invest a great deal and there are many believers. in that way, bezos is different than many other ceos he has a great group of investors willing to wait and say we believe all of these investments will pay off in enormous earnings down the road. >> how does he treat his work he's at the warehouse? >> workers can walk as much as 15 miles a day. it's warehouse work. it's hard but certainly there have

in this town and his speech was, and he said, and i'm going to give this in my summary version, steve king's interpretation of the president's speech a week ago last friday at noonan he conveyed this message to us. things aren't going as well as we had hoped. there is an enemy that has penetrated into iraq. i'm -- we are not going to have boots on the ground in iraq. i have several options. we are going to study the options for a few days and take a few days. there are no boots on the ground. we have options but not going to dely deploy any options. there is not going to be peace in iraq. i'm going to require the iraqis to produce a political solution before we use any of the options, he didn't say this, but might help them. there are no boots on the ground. we will study it for a few days and then give the iraqis an assignment and that will be produce a political solution and then get around to helping you. that's the formula, mr. speaker or dithering rather than fiddling. radical islamists who established a caliphate, the president is dithering in a imilar way that nero was dithering. they

remember steve mcqueen, the king of cool? cars and motorcycles, and now his ferrari 275 gtb 4 is up for auction if you want it, you have to be willing to pay up. look at that car. the car is expected to go for 9 million bucks at the rm's monterey auction in august. mcqueen ordered the car in 1967 filming the thomas crown affair, it was originally gold in color, the actor hated it and it was repainted red. mcqueen sold the door fellow actor guy williams of zorro fame. the car has gone through several owners but fully restored and in perfect running order. cool, huh? we talked about the g.i. bill turning 70 right. what a transformative piece of legislation that was. my own father went to school on the g.i. bill and many other americans have done the same. few other pieces of legislation have is reward the sacrifices of our veterans, starting with the greatest generation and continuing today. where would we be without the g.i. bill? tonight we learn the g.i. bill shaped a productive and expanding economy, set the stage for silic

very ugly the congressman steve king who else tweets out this morning the i will congressman accused national security advisor susan rice a frequent target of the guys you could spirit. of lying about the bowe bergdahl deal to help al qaeda seriously he said so their eyes wide true american people again bergdahl taken in battle which like both sides swap ease and negotiators are working for. bergdahl it seems has become the new benghazi and that mr varian. on tuesday the n.r.a. apologized for a state been published on its website called gun rights protesters in texas weird and scary as saban came after gun activists in the state brought assault rifles into busy restaurants and retail stores to show off their open carry rights for a moment there look like wayne la pierre and company were actually being reasonable but yesterday the n.r.a. is director of legislative action chris cox called back his group statement saying that it wasn't the n.r.a. his job to criticize the wall full behavior of fellow gun. now the truth is an alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as weird

so the question before house republicans is this, will you let steve king being -- be your spokesperson? dictate to your -- what your party does on immigration, which is nothing or the next year and a half. that is what you are doing. that is exactly what the republicans are doing, or do you summon a little bit of courage and pass immigration reform that will be good for you, your country and your party? i would encourage my friends in the house to look around and realize the tea party has peaked, and in only one major election did they cause the demise of an incumbent , and that is eric cantor. lindseyook at the graham election, mitch mcconnell, election in oklahoma, renee ellmers and a conservative district campaigned on immigration reform and one. their fear is greater than the reality, but they are quaking in their boots, and america suffers. i am still hopeful. maybe they will come to their senses because people usually at the end of the day do what is in their self interest, and it is clearly in the self-interest of the republican party to move forward him and the speaker knows it

steve clemons reports after those comments in january, the king of saudi arabia actually relieved prince bandar. sources close to the royal court told me that, in fact, the king fired prince bandar over his handling of the kingdom's syria policy. and what was the kingdom's syria policy under prince bandar? although they have denied it, steve quotes officials from qatar admitting that country has been funding and supplying the al qaeda linked sunni militant group fighting in syria that's called al nusra. as for the other group fighting in syria and controlling border crossings between syria and iraq and taking over huge swaths of iraq, as for that group, isis, look at this. as one senior qatari official stated, isis has been a saudi project. so, the united states didn't provide arms to the rebels the way that senator john mccain and senator lindsey graham and others demanded. instead, the u.s. pursued a policy of removing all the chemical weapons stockpiles from syria. that has now worked. chemical weapons are gone. it turns out the country that did arm the rebels the way john mccain and
