once again, i think the substance on this side, which i think steve king has that point about out this anonymous complaint and so forth. just in the storytelling aspect, the story you are telling to the american people after donald trump wins, this upset victory, is that we are going to change the ethics office so that it's fairer to congress. he was absolutely right to come out as he did. i had marsha blackburn on today at 10:30. she had a hard time defending it on timing and messaging. she agreed that the republicans bungled these things time and again. trump reads the pulse of the people again better than the rank-and-file republican on capitol hill. paul ryan voted against this, we understand. but he wasn't able to turn enough votes. >> the leadership paul ryan and. the house must have a rules package, ultimately accepting the amendment from mccarthy was the only way to assure the passage. i understand the need to do so, i'm wholly disappointed that these important reforms to strengthen due process rights and the mission of the oce did not move forward. gross misrepresentation by o

joining us from philadelphia, congressman steve king, who is parting the law and the house.ator ted cruz during the same thing in the senate. where are we on the "kate's law," senator cruz? >> good evening, bill. it is good to join you. kate's law, as you noted in the last congressman voted up for a vote, the house of representatives passed it and the the the senate democrats filibustered it. we got three votes in the senate the last time around. i hope and believe we will bring it up for a vote again, but this time we will have a president unlike barack obama, a president who supports it kate's law, supports a mandatory minimum sentence of at least five years in prison for aggravated felons who illegally reenter this country. it was named -- it was named after kate steinle, who you shined the light on so powerfully, the terrible story s murdered by a career criminal, who kept coming into this country over and over and over again. kate steinle should never have been killed. the laws made sense. >> bill: seven times. this low-level drug dealer came back seven times after bein

i want to go to steve king right now, the iowa congressman that was watching all of this i'm sure with great interest. congressman, much has been said of how donald trump would commit to his promises and try to fulfill them. first, if on the border, how he answered or tried to answer. were you satisfied with that without a clear timetable as to when we're going to reinforce this wall, border, whatever you want to call it? >> i think i am, neil. one of the reasons, there's a lot to consider in putting together a 2,000 mile, likely a concrete wall. more than likely the full distance than any other distance. you have to understand, what you have for right of way, what you need to acquire what barriers are in the way, what is there for appropriations and what is there for authorization. i can say with confidence as far as an active congress is concerned, the secure fence act which passed about a decade ago and the real i.d. act which passed then, lay the authorization, foundation. all president trump needs is the money to do this. so i think it takes time to get it ready. by the way, a lit

here to discuss, republican congressman steve king from iowa. congressman, always good to have you. i'm going to throw you a curveball. we'll get to the politics of the situation, but let's talk about the basis of the fight on immigration. because we know that's important to you and it's going to be coming to you now, often marginalized to just being about a wall. but let's talk about the condition. the president has set a basis for what the problem is that defies the numbers. he has said millions of people get thrown out of here every year. there is nothing like that number anywhere in the homeland security's report year over year over year, and he has said that they're coming through the wall, they're coming through this porous border. 95% of people they catch they catch at ports of entry. can we agree on the facts? how do you see the problem? >> if you're going to say millions of people, you have to leave off the part every year. the cumulative effect are millions. >> he didn't say that. >> i understand that. but the peak of our illegal immigration, we were up to 4 million attemp

he sort of walked a fine line in that tweet saying that he agrees with part of what congressman steve king was saying, which is that it isn't as effective as it could be. nonetheless, you heard him stress there, health care, tax reform, those are the issues that he wants to be focused on and, halle, he's tweeting today about obama care. let me read you his tweet. he tweeted people must remember that obama care just doesn't work and it's not affordable. 116% increases(arizona), bill clinton called it crazy. on the campaign trail former president bill clinton did call it crazy the fact that you're seeing some of the prices skyrocket, but he later walked back those comments stressing that he thinks there's a lot of good to be salvaged in the affordable care act. bottom line, donald trump is going to push republicans hard to appeal obama care. then the question comes what do you replace it with? kellyanne conway acknowledging at this point in time there is no real replacement. it could tack several years before they have a full replacement in place. the fight over obama care will likely be one

this is from an iowa congressman, republican steve king who was part of the discussions and part of the vote last night among house republicans. and they made that initial decision to weaken or change the house ethics office. here's what he said. he said he doesn't think the people in that office are effective. take a listen. >> i haven't seen any good things come from them. and i have seen many many bad things coming from them. fur an entity and your purpose is to accept complaints which will be anonymous and then you do the investigation and you come up with these charges they don't have any subpoena power, they don't have any enforcement power, they have to refer to the ethics committee, that's fine if that's all they zchl but they are leaking information and misinformation to the press. and they have found power in doing that. that has cost members of congress in total millions of dollars. it has damaged political careers unjustly and probably ended some political careers early. >> that's the house ethics office that you used to work for. he says it's not just republicans but democr

today some, like iowa's steve king, were dismayed that the measure was pulled: >> so i think we addressed a think we should have gone forward. and i'm going to push for the full disbandment and abolishment of the o.c.e. because they're based upon the wrong principles and no one should have to be subjected to public criticism that's generated by anonymous accusers. >> desjardins: but more republicans, like outgoing ethics committee chairman charlie dent, said the change would have been a mistake. >> i thought it was not the best way to proceed. >> desjardins: perhaps no coincidence, also saying it was a mistake was president-elect trump, who asked on twitter if the change should be a priority. and house democratic leader nancy pelosi slammed republicans, writing that the move showed "clear contempt for ethics." it all led to rare tension on what is usually a happily bipartisan day with members' families. during the roll call vote for speaker, some democrats pointedly mentioned the need for strong ethics, sparking boos from republicans. (booing) >> desjardins: but, now beginning his first f

on the same -- by the same token, we have friends here, saw steve king at the back a moment ago and we feel strongly that when a judge, a federal judge intentionally refuses to go along with what they know the constitution says, that ought to be an offense. they're not keeping their oath and that's as offensive as anything is when it comes from a judge. they ought to be able to impeach a job like that, and i don't think we have done enough removal, impeachment of judges who have violated their oath. we were removing a judge who ad committed sexual assault. well, that should have been a no-brainer, but that took literally an act of congress to eventually get that done. and another judge, it was not until we actually impeached him for his terribly inappropriate , not bringing up suppressing information when he was being investigated for being a judge, a federal judge from his days as a state judge. apparently as a state judge he didn't have a problem if tuition was dufort his son, just send somebody, secretary, somebody, to one of the law offices that you often appoint and then have them

it was steve king's iowa freedom summit. the entire trump act -- it was an act.t was a risk on jeb bush -- riff on jeb bush. it was clear that trump viewed his candidacy to stop jeb bush to clear the election for someone else. and at the time the crowd was cracking up. it was riproaring funny. a puma flitter around june, when he began to touch on the immigration issue, and saw this zeitgeist, that there was a real issue that could catapult him from vanity to a serious candidate, that is where the transition took place. i say this as somebody who knows him. he is serious about doing this. he may be a joke as a candidate. it may not work. i was telling media people 2 years ago, i until the way he was interacting with key iowans, he was serious about doing this. whether you share his viewpoints or not, there is something refreshing about a guy they said everything not to do, and it worked. and even if he turns out not to be the president that his most ardent supporters hope he will be, or if he turns out to be the president's critics think that he will be, at the ve

people here illegally and there is a growing chatter on the hill by some, including representative steve kingho very much supported this president and wants to see more action, are you concerned that there hasn't been more immediate action on that front? do you think he will get there as quickly as you would like him to? >> i believe he will get there and i'm not concerned right now. right now president trump is fulfilling his promise to the people in providing safe communities and he is taking those steps toward that. he is also, as you saw yesterday, providing safe communities for families, angel mothers and remembrance project families to secure the border and you saw he is going to put forth building the wall and removing sanctuary cities. so his promise to the people, which is the fundamental duties of a government and the angel families, we're not nervous about that. we know he will keep his promise. >> shannon: i want to play a little bit of one of those angel moms laura wilkerson. she was on with martha last night in the first 100 days talking about this debate. >> you are legal or il
