perfect the underlying bill. he has spoken dozens of times about this on the floor and tv and everything else. senator grassley tells me that some still want to speak so we will get everybody up to -- i would hope that if people don't feel that have to repeat over and over again what they have already said a dozen times we can get to work and markup the bill. hundreds of amendments have been filed and posted to the committee web site carried i hope we will consider which of their filed amendments they intend to offer so we will keep on going as many days as necessary and consider the sponsor's amendments and start with amendments filed in the beginning sections of the bill and move on to amendments today so we do not have to come back in here tomorrow or later. i see i have have used only two of my four minutes and i would now deal to senator grassley. >> during this committee's markup on the immigration reform bill, i am going to invoke the themes that the president outlined that day that he pledge to the america

the bill was just introduced a few weeks ago the second bill that i've introduced. e is -- there is growing sentiment that these cases need to be taken out of the chain of command but this is -- when you say you want to take these cases out of the chain of command you are challenging the essence of the military structure. and yet, if you look at our system which is based on the british system code of justice which congress created in the '50s is based on the british system. if you look at the u.k., look at canada and australia they have taken these cases out of the chain of command. >> bill: they have. >> they have. since 1996. and they've had good success with taking those steps. and you know i talked with secretary hagel last night. can we at least have you look at the british system? we've actually studied it. i've sent staff over to london to really evaluate it. and i think that if they really look at what's being done and how successful it's been, they may be more apt to try it maybe on a pilot program basis. >> bill: you've been the lead in the senate, working

ifould not support the bill we redefined marriage in the immigration bill away from what people in my state considered to be the proper definition. i have asked a lot of people in south carolina to be open- minded about changing our immigration laws because they do not work. i have an obligation to listen to those people who feel very comfortable with the definition of marriage in a traditional fashion. debate this, there will be no stronger voice for changing the way america terms of same-sex partners and and traditional marriage than yourself. of will have plenty opportunity to expect yourself and stand up for the people of vermont. as to immigration, this is the best chance i have seen since i have been dealing with the issue. there is only -- only so much market to be born in emotional issues like immigration. traditional marriage without animosity. i am not married. maybe i should not speak at all about it. but i do believe the people of my state and the people of other states who have gone a different way than vermont, that this would throw the coalition out of balance. to the e

if you can make it better without destroying the bill, great. on the republican side, we have a reputation of never quite getting there on border security. now, why are we tying the pathway to citizenship to a guessworker program? because i'm not going to live 11 million illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship until i get something i want. i want a new immigration system. i'm not going to trust them to give it to me after they get on a path to citizenship. our democratic friends are not going to trust us to hold everything up until we are satisfied with border security. you live on the border. i know you're assassin sear about this as possible, but we got to talk about the elephant in the room here. every time we have this debate, the's always a reason the border is not quite secure enough. we spent billions of dollars, we got 21,000 border security agents on the border, spending $4.5 billion more, we are going to have 18 drones, have technology we used in iraq and afghanistan, and we're going to have as a trigger that the comprehensive south

to summarize, the bill requires the secretary of homeland security within six months that a bill is signed into law, to submit a comprehensive southern border security strategy as well as a southern border fencing strategy. after those so-called plans are submitted to congress, the secretary can start processing applications to legalize the 12 million people that are in the united states. the result is that the undocumented become legal after a mere plan is submitted, despite the potential that the plan could be flawed and inadequate. additionally the bill provides $6.5 billion in emergency spending to available for various border security enhancements, to be used under the discretion of the secretary. while i understand the need for such an investment there is no congressional input on either the secretary's plan and funding that she will have in her disposal. now i haven't read every page in this bill yet but from what i read, i find a great deal of congressional authority delegated to the secretary. it reminds me of the 1693 delegations of authority in the health care reform bill that m

this is the "bill press show." >> bill: all right. 4 minutes after the hour. the "full court press" here on a thursday morning. one of the stories that's just dominating the news and understandably so is the situation out in cleveland charges filed yesterday against ariel castro, charges of rape and kidnap. keeping these three women kidnapping them and keeping them captive for ten years. the two brothers who had been arrested, the police authority -- authorities announced yesterday that there would be no charges filed against them. i don't know about you. i find it impossible to believe that his two brothers knew nothing about what this guy was doing for the last ten years. >> i couldn't believe it. >> bill: just -- how? and also, there are so many aspects of this story. he was known in the neighborhood. he associated with neighbors. he played in a band. musicians came to that house and practiced with him. he marched in actually some of the marches to bring attention to these missing women. and all at the same time, pretend for years.

not the bill i would have drafted. it falls short of what i had hoped we could have accomplished, but it may be the best of what we can do. so it isn't with a heavy heart as a result of my conclusion that the senator i heard not on this committee that i heard on that radio talk show who said -- the islation would whole immigration legislation would be killed if if i added this anti-discrimination amendment. withhold with mold -- the leahy amendments at this point and will not be before us now at this markup and we will go to final passage soon. i think there are other senators seeking recognition. and i say this with a heavy heart. you know, i look at what my state went through on this issue and timely got through the debate and said, well, wait a inute, museum ks are human beings. vermont senator from said you have two people who love each other and make each other better, we are all better. if you have two people who love each other and married to each other and one outside of this country, shouldn't they be joined to

does, the fwang of eight's bill. it grants instantaneous amnesty to everyone who is here in america. and it sends an invitation to everyone who has been deported in the past to apply to come back to america. and it makes an implicit promise that if you came into america after the deadline or if you can get into america, sneak into america any time in the future, you will be legalized in the next wave of amnesty. it's only a matter of time and we will never deport you as long as you don't commit a felony or if you can mysteriously figure out which of the three misdemeanors would be so offensive that the the gang of eight would want to send you back home again. that's the bill. so what to they do to get people to agree to embrace this huge amnesty bill that is breathtaking in its scope and beyond the imagination of even the people in the senate a year ago, it's what they wanted but wouldn't say it publicly, they never imagined they could talk about this broad and expansive an amnesty bill even a year ago, so we have --

under the bill the f.c.c. shall evaluate whether a proposed regulation is inconsistent, incompatible or duplicative of other federal regulations as well. so, because some rule making has been politicized in the past, the bill then requires that this cost-benefit analysis of which i talked about will be performed by who? the commission's chief economist. so these are commonsense reforms. they are appropriate, especially given the fact that the commission continues to struggle with this issue. for instance, as already pointed out, in the recent unanimous decision of d.c. circuit court of appeals which vacated the commission's proxy access rule, the court stated, quote, the commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously for having failed once again to adequately assess the economic benefits of a new rule and acted inconsistently and opportunistically. so the bill also includes, besides all this, a section that will provide a clearer postimplementation assessment of new regulations. so that postimplementation cost-

this is the "bill press show." >> bill: hey 25 minutes after the hour. yes, indeed, i want the i.r.s. to be tough. i want the i.r.s. to go after tax cheats. i would suggest the i.r.s. might want to start with the companies that take jobs overseas then don't pay tacks on the profits they're making overseas. i would like to start with the oil companies and the big cruise lines and the big banks that are recording record profits and not paying any on profits. the way they're doing it. going after these -- conservative right wing political organizations. some of whom may deserve -- but making that their sole purpose going after groups that have constitution somewhere in their title or -- they just -- there's no defending it. there's just no defending it. >> we're on twitter at bpshow. you can find us there. rahm says the i.r.s. is out of line. but so are the tax-exempt statuses where are the whistle-blowers for that nonsense? >> bill: i agree. you can't target one side of the political aisle. >> dynamite guy says maybe

changeover to the contractor to change it. >> bill: i'm not saying it's right. you should be able to tell me what the offending passage was. >> bill, bill, bill. let me put it this way. i can give you lots of different verses that are out there. the bottom line that this was well covered in the media. >> bill: no. the real bottom line. >> the military made the change and they fixed it. >> bill: the military took care of it that's the real bottom line. >> they did. after we went and had to stand up and fight on behalf of our clients they finally did. without us they would not have. >> bill: all right. final question, the obama administration very secular administration. are you still saying that the military is corrupt or has the obama administration after five years wiped all this out? >> this is not an indictment on any member of the us what. obviously whether it was george w. bush or his predecessor obama commander and chief. things are clearly better under obama. you say secular like it's a bad thing. >> bill: i didn'ti didn't say

the bill is called the legal work force act. it was introduced by texas republican congressman lamar smith. south carolina republican congressman trey gowdy chaired the hearing. it ran about an hour and 45 minutes. >> the subcommittee on immigration and border control will come to order. chair is still authorized to declare recesses at any time. we welcome all of our witnesses. i will introduce our witnesses properly here in just a moment, but for now i will recognize myself for a brief opening statement. today the subcommittee holds legislative hearings on bills that can, if implemented, substantially affect u.s. immigration policy in a positive way. the first hearing is on 1772, the legal work force act which requires all u.s. employers to use e-verify to determine the eligibility of their employees. because it's one of the largest centers for illegal immigration to the united states, we must insure employers have appropriate and workable tools. i know chairman goodlatte and past chairman smith and others have worked tirelessl

this is the farm bill. the farm bill is drafted by the agricultural committees. the agricultural committees are made up predominantly of lawmakers with strong agribusiness interests. the portion of the farm bill that is devoted to those subsidies, your crop insurance program, your payments to farmers when prices go low is a small or the -- part of the bill. now, part of the reason -- and people ask why are are food stamps and farm subsidies in the same bill? a lot of it has to do with real politic. in a sense, they're all farm programs. if you subsidize consumption of food, you are at a certain level helping farmers. but there's also a very political reason for this as well. as rural representation in congress has declined over the decades, you've needed another constituency to get this farm bill through congress. inner city representatives, they are part of that coalition. now, that coalition so estranged this time because if you think about it, if you are an advocate for food stamps and you have a cut between a $4 billion cut or a $20 billion or do nothing and

the beginning sections of the bill. ove on to amendments filed at the first part of the bill, border security and opening to public in venice that today so we now have to come back again tomorrow or later. and i see i have used to love my formats. i would now yield to senator grassley. back again for senator grassley. during this committee's markup of the immigration reform bill, i am going to invoke the themes of the president outlined that day that he pledged to the american people that transparency and the rule of law will be touchstones of his presidency. atlanta as many questions throughout this process. i want to help the american people understand what is in this 860 page bill. i want to discuss the details and understand the thinking of the authors with regard to many provisions. i want to know how the bill does not repeat mistakes that we have made in the past. now want to know how will benefit generations for years to come, and i want to know how the bill preserves the rule of law. since we only do comprehensiv

the factor in 2. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> there is only so many people out there that are republicans. admittedly they breathe fast because they are too dumb. >> you know what it is like to go to sleep every night knowing you work for a bunch of psychotic killers you bastards are probably going to end up killing me one day. >> bill: facebook is apologizing for allowing it worldwide. can anybody stop the hatred linked into the irs tea party scandal? we have a factor investigation. >> with regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that i have ever been involved in. >> bill: did attorney general eric holder commit perjury in front of congress? megyn kelly has some thoughts on that. >> i can't laugh anymore. this country is gone. >> bill: dennis miller taking note of president obama and chris christie meeting again yesterday on the jersey shore. >> oh. >> bill: miller with some analysis. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins rig

this is "the bill press show." >> bill: all right. you know, everybody in the media is talking about the trifecta three scandals hit the obama administration at one time, benghazi, the irs and the associated press. i think they are wrong. there are not three scandals. there is really only one. benghazi is nothing but a political side show driven by hillary clinton hate-hating republicans. the irs is bycratic incompetence but for the justice department to seize the records of the associated press is a real scandal. phone numbers of 100 editors and reporters over a 2 month period. >> that's a wholly unjustified wholesale violation of the first amendment. there may be a national security issue that would excuse such abuse but this isn't one of them. reporting on our intelligence agency successfully finding out about and blocking an attempt to blow up an airliner heading for the united states. we should be applauding that achievement. not hiding it. unfortunately, this is only part of the obama administration's obsession with prosecuting l

this is the farm bill. the farm bill drafted by the agricultural committees. the agricultural committees are made up her dominantly of lawmakers with strong interests, strong agribusiness interests. the portion of the formal devoted to those subsidies, your crop insurance programs, that is a small part of the bill, but that is part of the bill that a lot of lawmakers are concerned with. part of the reason -- people ask, why are food stamps and farm subsidies in the single -- a lot of it has to do with realpolitik. in a sense, they are all farm programs. if you subsidize consumption, you are helping farmers. there is also a very political reason for this. as oral representation in congress has declined, you have needed another constituency to get his farm bill through congress. inner-city representatives come up folks with real interests in food stamps, they are part of the coalition. the coalition is strained at times as if you think about it, if you are an advocatefor food stamps and you have a choice between a $4 billion cut and a $20 billion cap were to do

the amendment is consistent with bill i.t. it said that the secretary of dhs or judge can reduce recordkeeping fines down zero if they see fit. it's a precedent from the gang reducing this very fine in the appropriate circumstances. this is a reasonable amendment that would make sure that errors in the e verify do not place unreasonable burden on small businesses and working people. i urge my colleagues to support it. >> a question. do you define error rate. >> yes. >> we define error rate. >> a number of legal -- it's because it's an error rate that is actually easy to define. which is a number of legal people who are legal who get turned down. >> okay. >> understand if a yellow light comes on and it's corrected. it's still considered part of the error rate. it seems to me you ought to may be exceptions for when it pops -- that's correct. the yellow light means some people have to travel 100 -- the yellow light is burdensome to the small business, which is, you know, the original amendment we're going do is it doesn't kick unt

15-20 years, the wrda bill that we passed last week, the debates that we're having about the farm bill today, all have involved significant open processes in the committee, significant open processes here on the floor, senate action that then moves in a regular order into discussion with the house. and i think it is up to this body to show the public that we don't just embrace regular order and normal processes on these important issues but that we also embrace them on something as critically important as the federal budget. and so for that reason, madam president, i would ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to consideration of calendar item 33, which is h. con. res. 25, that the amendment which is on the desk that has the text of the senate resolution 8, the budget resolution passed by the senate, be inserted in lieu thereof, that h. con. res. 25 as amended be agreed to, that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, that the senate insist upon its amendment, request a conference with the house on the disagreeing votes of the two houses, and that t

now the mail. billin a full slidedown the slippery slope mode of the hate speech myth, the first amendment allows me to state anything i want as long as it doesn't incite violence, but not in the private workplace, doctor. companies like facebook, which we were talking about, can legally police their environments and should. susan ivy, north carolina. bill, your talking points about facebook was dead on. i have fun with it, but the nastiness i've seen is scary. to me it is scary, susan. many troubled people out there. tina davies, clovis, california. love him, he's smart and articulate. another, bill, you were rude and obnoxious with the congressman. you treated him like a schoolboy. peter from maryland, after hearing about the american mother of seven incarcerated in mexico, "changed my vacation plans. another one, you have no idea what a good country mexico is. you use the most melodramatic examples to condemn. we report the truth. sorry if it hurts. i was stationed with the navy in upw 1960s, travele

the other thing to understand, bill. the period before justice scalia joined the court, they were participating in about 4% of the cases per term whereas now this particular term, soo whatever we are see something a busy heavy document. there is a chamber of commerce when this intercede are winning the vast majority of those cases. >> it means that the court is taking more and more cases that the business community has an interest in? >> absolutely. or working class citizens the reports it adds to the outside influence that we see the chamber of commerce having. >> the number of cases that the court is taking is lower. right? gu the % of business related cases is higher? >> exactly. >> it compounds their influence? it's not just the chamber participating in cases the ask the court has decided to take. they have mehta concerted effort to file briefs. the chamber selecting certain opinions from lower court and saying the corporation or the business, they got hurt. it's a good set of facts. we want to take this case before t

the senate is going to vote on bill. yes, and those who are wapping this program on c-span or from the galleries may see 100 senators or close to that come to the floor and vote and you may just find that there will be a bipartisan majority supporting the bill, at least m.i.a. that'y hope. i have joined with senator enzi, senator alexander, senator heitkamp, a democrat from north dakota, in a bipartisan effort to solve a problem. it was a problem not of our colleagues. it was a problem that came about because commerce has changed in the united states. 20 years ago the state of north dakota went across the street to the supreme court and said, we want to collect sales tax from remote sellers. these are mainly 20 years ago catalog sales, so that if you have a catalog sale into the state of north dakota, they could collect sales tax and the supreme court almost 21 years ago said in the quill decision, we're not going to rule this from the suprem court. it is up to congress to write the law. in lightning-fast speed with the k

this is "the bill press show." >> bill: you have it 33 minutes after the hour. it is the full court press this wednesday morning, may 8th. good to have you with us today. some shocking numbers yesterday out of the pentagon. the pentagon, itself on the issues of -- on the issue of sexual assault in the military. leaders of the military have been telling members of congress for some time, yeah, we know this is a problem but we are on top of it. we are making progress. we have got it under control. apparently not. juan a summers covers defense issues for politico. a good friend of the program. back in studio. juana, always good to see you. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me back >> bill: according to the latest survey of the pentagon things are getting worse? >> absolutely. there are two important things to look a in the survey. first, the sexual vieolence in the military is going up. the other thing that lawmakers are critical of these type of issues point out fewer people are reporting these assaults and both of those combined together are what they sa

when told that it was not the right time. >> bill: another key question. did president obama and secretary of state clinton do anything wrong? >> did she ask you about the cause of the attack? >> i don't recall that being part of the conversation. will. >> bill: tonight. we have straight talk about benghazi. also, upcoming on the factor, there is a verdict in the jodi arias murder trial. >> guilty. >> bill: and the latest on that horrendous kidnapping in cleveland. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. very busy news day. we'll have analysis of the jodi arias verdict. she was found guilty of first degree murder. also the latest on the horrendous cleveland kidnapping case. but, first, our lead story tonight the benghazi hearings in washington today. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. there is no question, no question at all that the u.s.a. did not protect its ambassador to libya christopher stephens and three other americans who we

the bill will be placed on the calendar. mr. reid: mr. president, albert einstein, the great albert ann stein, defined insanity as follows: doing the same thing over understand a oveandover again ag different results. that's what albert einstein said. if his deaf mission is true -- and i'm not going to argue with einstein -- the house republicans have truly lost their minds. this week the har house of representatives will vote for the 37th time -- mr. president, 37th time. what are they voting on 37 times? exactly the same thing -- they are vietnaming to repeal the landmark -- voting to repeal the landmark constitutional health care reform bill known as obamacare now. and i say that proudly. after last year's election, speaker boehner conceded that obamacare is here to stay. here wheys said, and i quote. "it's pretty clear that the president was reelected." that's a fair statement. he went ton say, "obama is law of the land. it's pretty clear that president obama was reelected and obam obamacare is the law of the la land." so no matter wh
