the house tonight, new jersey congressman tom malinowski. sir, thanks for being here tonight. i appreciate you making time. >> thank you, rachel, and thank you for reading the resolution. that's the first dramatic reading i've heard. >> well, unfortunately, i'm a bad actor and so it wasn't as dramatic as it should have been. >> it was good. >> well, it's an eloquent piece of work. and i know you're the lead author of this resolution. i have to ask about your thought process that went into asking the house to weigh in on something like this formally and why you structured this the way you did. >> i saw the tweets with everybody else this weekend, and as you mentioned, unlike three of the four congresswomen that trump attacked, i was actually born in a foreign country. i'm an immigrant. i -- i took that oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states for the first time when i was 10 years old, getting sworn in to be a citizen of the united states five years after my mom brought me here from poland. and so i thought, you know, i don't -- i don't necessarily

that are used in yemen now this is significant also because it comes from congressman tom malinowski democrat from new jersey he's only been in congress for a year but before that he served as a top diplomat in the state department for many years under president barack obama and he worked directly with the saudi you a yemen war issue from the state department so he knows the issue 1st hand it is quite familiar with it so it's significant that way as well while this was an amendment that went through and it would ban the sale of u.s. weapons to saudi arabia at least these munitions air to ground munitions this won't go into effect immediately this is just a successful amendment now what is going to happen and this is important it will go now to a debate between the senate and the house of representatives where they will come up with a compromise final defense bill and it's unclear if this amendment will make it into that or not we'll be watching that very closely and of over the coming. days

that is not what it means but this is still very significant as you just heard from congressman tom malinowski because it did pass the house of representatives on friday the vote was 236 in favor of this amendment 182 against it it mostly went along party lines with democrats voting for it mostly republicans voting against it however 5 republicans did vote yes for this amendment as well now tom malinowski is a democrat 1st year congressman from the state of new jersey but he is significant that it come that this amendment comes from him because before being a congressman he worked in the state department and under president barack obama he was actually an assistant secretary of state for democracy and human rights so this is a man that has very wide experience in diplomacy in the international arena so it's significant that it comes from him as well just the process here is important this is just one of several different amendments that were put forth on friday for the general national defense authorization bill which is the bill that's a very normal thing that's basically the u.s. government

we have polling, tom malinowski is already out in new jersey. -- down in new jersey. he pulled probably eight races so far at the nrcc and i think we publish those so you have the stuff and you can see what it is. i think malinowski was down two or three points and we had just begun. money is going to be important. money is always important but money isn't the ultimate determining factor. we can't let it get so out of wack that -- out of that our candidates can't compete. >> -- linda: john davis from "the news york times." >> he's said that chance last night had no place as a message and you think the president said what he meant was wrong but as you know he is a pretty large megaphone and it sets the tone for the political course so i wonder given that these sorts of ideas where the core agenda in 2016 that you talk about caravans and invasion by asylum-seekers in 2018 and that describes the conversation around the midterm. a message he talked about before that the committee wants to set the terrain for the midterms is going to actually be able to break through, and

[video clip] >> when i saw the president pass comments over the weekend, my first thought was that my politics met -- may not always be the same as the congresswomen who was attacking, but all of us are americans's and unlike most of them, i was actually born in a foreign country. to support and defend the constitution of the united states when i was 10 years old my mother. when i was sworn in to be a citizen five years after we came here from poland. does the president think i should go back because i am an immigrant who disagrees with his policies? there are 44 million american citizens that were born summer else and new americans, we know what it means to be america -- american because we know the alternative. many of us come from broken countr
