i think we're in the process of not only rallying people in the united states congress but all over this country who understand several facts. number one, when the middle class is disappearing and the gap between the rich and everybody else is growing wider, you don't assault the middle class by cutting social security and benefits for disabled veterans. the second point that the american people understand is that social security has not added one nickel to the deficit. in fact social security toe today as a $2.6 trillion surplus paid independently by the payroll tax. we should be lifting the cap on taxable income for social security so that it's strong for the next 75 years. >> where would you put the cap? >> what you do -- the cap is now at 113,000 dollars. somebody who makes a million contributes the same as somebody makes 113. if you lift the cut you don't have to start at 113. start at 215,000 dollars. social security will be strong for the next 50 years paying out 100% of benefits. do you know whose idea that was during the 2000 nate campaign? a guy named barack obama we want to re

congress. states can't do it. states don't have control over this. some nonprofit or private organization can't do it. only, only the federal government and only the united states congress can replace our broken immigration system with one that works for our country. one that reflects our country's need for human capital, for talent, for ideas, for innovation. one that helps make sure that we attract the best and brightest and hardest working people from across the world to deploy their talent here's, to make hour country stronger in a legal way. one that restores the trust with law enforcement and prove -- improves public safety in our communities, allows community policing and police officerses to win the trust that is so critical, for them to fight crime that affects all of our communities. mr. speaker, i also rise today to talk about a commonsense issue that's received a lot of discussion in the press and continues to be on many of our minds, and that's how we can reduce violent crime in this country, gun violence, senseless murder, and deaths that occur. now this is no easy question. my focus here has always been improving education. i crewly believ

that's not the way you treat the united states congress. >> rose: will you ask cheryl mills to come and testify? >> you know, it's hard to say who. i would welcome everybody. i wish the accountability review board-- which supposedly did this review-- would come testify to us or at least meet with us informally. wee asked them mulple times to do that. they've always denied it. we are 25,000 documents in eight trufrj that they won't let us have. they've said you can look at an am n camera review which, again, means state department gets to watch over your shoulder. even unclassified information, charlie, they won't allow us -- they won't let the congress have. that's just -- that's just not the american way. >> rose: so why do you think they're doing it, if, in fact, they are doing it? >> well, it just -- it sends up a lot of flashing red light, right? if there's nothing wrong, if you want openness and transparency, if you want to do what the esidt told the american people repeatedly he was going to do-- that is release new information as they gain it-- why don't they do that? they won't

except for the united states congress, this administration would lead you to believe that there was some video gone awry and that a protest happened and that's what caused this attack. that never happened. we've demonstrated it. we introduced a memo that we just recently found that was issued on the day after the attack from the state department to senior state department personnel saying it was ansar al sharia with islamic ties, they were the ones that were responsible for that. in fact, we told the libyan ambassador that! so i think the administration has covered up a lot of these fact and why we're continuing to probe. >> rose: but they changed their own acknowledgment of what happened after the events and after the testimony by secretary rice. do you believe they continue to cover up? >> well, four and a half months after the attack secretary clinton came before the united states congress and testified in both the house and the senate and she said that the security decisions weren't made by her but that the security decisions were made by the people on the ground. yet we have the reg

it's a resolution that urges united states congress to consider comprehensive immigration reform to make sure includes members of the lgtb community. we will be hearing today from many lg [inaudible] immigration reform, goes against the very principal that we as a country have always held dear, which is the principal of of respecting and valuing families. families are made up of lgtb members. there are many amendments being considered and a key question is whether or not lgtb families will be a part of those amendments and there's an amendment that would include the lg tb families in this bill. we call on the congress and senate to support this. we know that senator boxer has come out in support of that and we thank her for that. and now we ask the senior senator of california to support the inclusion of lgtb families in this bill. senator has a history of supporting lgtb rights and this is the time to demonstrate consistency with that /h*euls write and with that i want to thank also my colleagues on the board of supervisors who have cosponsored this item with me -- supervisor avalos, wi

the parties that is that here we're all members of the united states congress that lasted about three minutes until we started voting on who would be speaker and who would dominate each committee in congress. if you have been to the house floor or if you have seen the house floor, if somebody speaks here without this panel, you have a lectern. they're already is. not in the u.s. house. there are two lecterns, the republicans stand at one to talk to republicans, democrats and another to talk to democrats. if you want to go have a cigarette or eat a sandwich or make a phone call you go to the cloakroom but there isn't one. there's one for republicans and democrats can we operated the united states congress the branch of government with all the power that is supposed to make decisions for the country. we treated as rival clubs. at the bottom line for what i did in my book is not electing stupid people we are not electing and patriotic people. we are electing good people who are trapped in a system that we have created the three words and stability, rewards intransigence , that punishes c

we have many members of the texas house and senate and four members of the united states congress. we also have hundreds more serving at all levels of local, state, and federal government. but most important, as you heard said, we will graduate almost 7200 graduates, the most of any class ever. you are the folks that will change the world and i am proud to call each of you a fellow aggies sister or brother. today is truly a great day to be a texas aggie. let's start with a q&a. i want you to answer by either raising your hand to the following. how many of you are the first generation in your family to receive a college education? how many of you are the first aggie in your family? that is awesome. how many of you have jobs? that is impressive in this world. how many of you are confident in your future? how many of you are worried about your future? i did not see any hands go up. how many of you are graduating in less than four years? i am glad it was not cricket. how many of your graduate and in more than four years? how many of your graduating in more than five years? i think we wi

business -- busy days here for the united states congress.etting something done, not necessarily in the house. we wanted to find out what progress, if any is being made on the important issues of the day. in studio with us, the ranking democrat on the house budget committee, congressman chris van hollen. congressman, great to see you. >> great to be back. >> bill: we all want to know have you repealed obamacare this week? >> well, i don't know. after the 37th or 38th time, look you're absolutely right bill. the senate is moving ahead on some big issues, immigration reform. other matters. the house is just stuck in this circle of make believe. let's repeal obamacare which is such a bad idea on so many levels but one thing people should know is that if we actually repealed obamacare the republicans claim to have a budget that's in balance in ten years. disappears. it evaporates automatically because the dirty little secret is they depend on the revenue in obamacare and the savings to balance their budget so yes they took away all of the benefit

former democratic congressman from pennsylvania and first iraq war veteran to serve in the united states congress. both are msnbc contributors. let's take a look, gentlemen, at what president obama said yesterday. let's take a look at this part where he rejects the war on terrorism nostrum. >> neither i or any president can promise the total defeat of terror. we will never erase the evil that lies in the hearts of some human beings nor stamp out every danger to our open society. but what we can do, what we must do, is dismantle networks that pose a direct danger to us and make it less likely for new groups to gain a foothold. all the while maintaining the freedoms and ideals that we defend. and to define that strategy, we have to make decisions based not on fear but on hard-earned wisdom. >> david, i think there was a lot of truth in that report yesterday. i didn't realize it until i heard it again. in this element, a couple elements, actually three of them here come to mind. this idea that terrorism, some country somewhere called the united states of terror, we go to war with it. stamp it out li

economy in the world, the greatest nation on earth, and we can't manage to pass a budget in the united states congress. in the senate we're in the fourth year. we finally -- the senate passed a budget this year, budget resolution, and the house and senate haven't gotten together. it is required by law. >> is congress breaking the law. >> budget resolutions are supposed to pass and become law by april 15th. >> the only leadership is the fed chairman and he is pumping 85 million a month into the economy. >> i don't think he has any choice. there are disagreement. they about the implications. >> he doesn't have another choice. >> he doesn't. there is no fiscal policy. there is no budget. theres no management in congress and the president. there is no debt reduction plan. he has begsed congress. he has argued because he doesn't want to be in this position. to have zero interest rates for this long and into 2014, and he has said he doesn't feel comfortable drawing down. i mean, raising interest rates or pulling out for purchasing these bonds on a monthly basis because of the unemployment rate. he understan

of the purse to the united states congress.icle 1. number two, there is a federal law that says that you can't do through private entities what congress has refused to do. that's called the anti-deficiency law. and three, there are laws about raising money from people you regulate for whatever purpose. the secretary may -- activities may violate those federal laws prohibiting raising private funds from those she regulates. federal law permits a narrow band of private fundraising activities but this has always been interpreted very narrowly. and this would not be the first violation of the anti-deficiency act by the secretary's h.h.s. the general accountability office found them in violation of the anti-deficiency act three times last year. i'm concerned that the secretary's actions reflect a deep disregard through the administration for the constitutional role of elected representatives in the legislative branch. we saw it in the president's decision in january of 2012 to bypass the senate's roll of advice and consent and make

absolutely clear that no one can appropriate dollars for a federal program other than the united states congress, and a subterfuge that goes around that, seeks to go around that by raising private money, putting it in private entities for the same purpose that congress has either refused to appropriate money for or said that you can't do, that is outside the constitution; it is not allowed by the constitution of the united states, and it is against the antideficiency act. and then there's the separate question of whether it is appropriate to raise money from people that the secretary regulates. so, mr. president, i'm deeply concerned about this. i hope the secretary will stop this action. i hope the public-private partnerships that we have throughout government will continue where they're appropriate. but we need -- we need for the executive branch of government to show proper respect to the people of this country who elect their members of congress. we are article 1. they are article 2. the purpose of the power of appropriation is to put a curve on the executive branch. and if the congress says

[laughter] but, but, i mean, you could see on his facial expressions he didn't want to answer their very basic questions, and when it was pointed out to him -- i'd say very inconveniently -- that he had this information, he was asked about it, he chose not to provide the details of what the irs was doing, what the irs knew about what it was doing. when he was asked thes questions and when he was pressed on this, he sort of smirked and said, well, look, i answered the questions you asked. he certainly withheld a lot of the truth in a way that i think is not going to look good for him going forward. lou: and he may well be prosecuted here, because the issue of legality will not be determined by thenspector general who replied that it, in his judgment, at

rebels mccain is one of the most cocky and warmongering senators in the united states congress his role is to try to push the obama administration even further to the right in regard to their position on syria despite the fact that it's been documented by numerous international press agencies that the rebels in syria have utilized chemical agents. the u.s. state department has refused to even seriously address this issue they continue to blame the syrian government for all the problems that exist inside the country itself mccain of course is determined to have his way but it remains to be seen if the u.s. is willing to step back and to try to develop some type of political solution to the to the crisis in syria this is the only solution to the crisis there because you have countries such as iran hezbollah in southern lebanon or russia who is very much committed to defending of the syrian government against these attacks and of course the international balance of forces at this point is clearly leading back away from us problems are in the region of any thank you very much indeed your th

it asked, which should be the higher priority for the united states congress? investigating the irs, which darrell issa does every minute. benghazi and the "ap" subpoena issues? let's take a look at the results among party. among republicans 60% say the economy is more important than talking about these so-called scandals. not surprising the scandals were less of a priority for democrats. nearly nine out of ten said it's the economy we should be talking about. the total across the board, both parties. 73%, senator. three quarters of country say we should be talking about jobs and doing something. my problem isn't with the media and the president, sorry, the republicans, they're doing what they ought to do, kick everybody in the shins. the democrats. that's what you do to your opposition. why doesn't the president have a jobs bill? a big one, everybody knows what it looks like, draw pictures of it. what fast rail are we going to do? which highways are we going to repair? which highways are we going to build? i don't have a picture of what this president wants to

the parties, where all members of the united states congress. that lasted about three minutes until we started dealing with it would be speaker and dominate each committee in congress. if you have been to the house floor, if you have seen the house floor, somebody speaks here, you have a lectern here. they're always is, a lectern. not in the u.s. house. there are two lectern's. republicans stand at one to talk to of republicans and democrats talk and another. if you want to go half a cigarette or you want to eat a sandwich or make a phone call you go to the coat room, but there isn't one. there is one for republicans over there and democrats over there. we operate the united states congress, the branch of government with all of the power that is supposed to make this decisions for our country, we tweeted as rival clubs instead of people coming together. so the bottom line from what i did in my book is, we are not electing stupid people to congress. we're not electing and patriotic people. we are electing good people who are trapped in a system we

. >> despite four and a half months after the tragic thing, secretary clinton came to the united states congress and testified that people on the ground made decisions about security. that never happened. >> so when people did die, they had a panic circumstance to deal with and that's why we have alll explanations for it. >> when you hear more this week from the whistleblowers, they say it will make you mad. >> nice to see you. >> it will make you mad. >> before we get to the whistleblowers testifying on wednesday, we have information people from the cia want to come out and of it, but they have been told by the cia director brennan specifically they will be pole gravid if they are tied to this. do you have any information to -- >> i her the same story. there are cia agents reaching out. they feel frustrated. the cia generally got it right and they feel lrustrated about what happened that night before and after. we will see where it goes. >> are these cia agents in the ground in benghazi that night or cia agents, people here in washington? >> it's my belief at least one of them was on the ground
