as with anything in the united states constitution, the census should be read, under stood, and strictly administered according to its original intent. the 14th amendment protects the rights of citizens to fair and a -- equal representation. any deviation in this process threatens the right of each and an citizen to fair equal representation in congress. and equal representation in congress. we cannot allow a small number of states to cheat the rest of america by promoting illegal immigration and then as a reward for their lawless conduct to receive greater proportional representation in congress and electoral college. mr. speaker, the question is clear. should congressional representation be based on the number of american citizens or expanded to include the number of illegal aliens? as for i i -- me i side with american citizens not illegal aliens or conduct. america is raup and the essence of being a republic is respect for the right of american citizens to equal protection and equal influence over congressional elections. any attempt by the census bureau to undermine american citizen

you're confident that the members of the various agencies are honoring their oaths to the united states constitution? >> yeah. in general, yes, sir. >> congressman, that was of course your line of questioning. were you surprised by the way the secretary of state answered? >> not at all. mike pompeo was a former cia director. if he thought there was some sort of criminal deep state, he would have been talking about it and he'd be trying to root that out. but there isn't one. the president of the united states seems to think that just because he's being investigated somehow this is a deep state. no. it's just federal employees honoring their oath to the u.s. constitution. and let's be very clear here. agents and prosecutors and all federal employees don't take an oath to the president. they take an oath to the united states constitution. that's what everyone is following, and that means you investigate people and you find out if they did bad things. >> congressman ted lieu, thank you for spending part of your memorial day weekend with us. i certainly appreciate your time, sir. >> thank you, ryan. >>>

under the appointments clause of the united states constitution, article ii, mr. tein usurped the authority of the president of the united states to nominate whomever he wants as prosecutor and mr. rosenstein usurped the power of the united states smath which has the control -- mr. mueller is serving unconstitutionally in violation of the appointments clause of the constitution because of the way rosenstein appointed him, because of expanding his authority, because mr. mueller has expanded his own authority with these four now assistant united states attorneys and every defendant in this case, every witness in this case, everybody who received a subpoena in this case, whatever federal court it is, should raise the issue of the appointments clause of the constitution that mr. mueller is conducting himself and is appointment is unconstitutional. see, here's the deal. these career bureaucrat prosecutors, they don't understand the constitution. they understand parts of it, like due process and proximate cause. they never read the appointments claus. they never read the

to figure out or myself how it was that we have now entered our third century under the united states constitution. it's an extraordinary thing. france a country that is like us makes false claims about having lost to the banner of world liberty has had since the timer constitution took effect five republics, to napoleonic empires one monarchy and every one of them was a different constitution and yet here we are under the same text. what i have found is it's not just the text. it's a constitutional culture of the spirit of constitutionalism, a way of doing things traditions without which i guarantee the text would be meaningless. we know because this is what happens in other countries, i was actually living in russia in 2002 when the state took over the last independent tv station. they have a guarantee of free speech and free press but they knew exactly what our framers had in mind with the first amendment. the king sees the printing presses. you know what the extraordinary thing was is the russians didn't care because the state already on the mass media so they have the right text but they do n

believe we will beat them, because what's been forgotten in the whole trump epoch is the united states constitution is very friendly to localities. a few weeks after the election, i gave a speech at the cooper union building in new york city, very historic place where there've been important moments in history discussed. i said, "look, we've gotta remember our constitutional structure is a defense at this moment. the values of new york city, the values of texas-- - [evan] right. - are going to be expressed by local government and state government in a variety of ways." and in fact the constitution does not allow the federal government to come in and say "we're gonna be able to nullify everything you want to do." - and yet, mr. mayor, you know that the local control conversation has been turned on its head in many places-- - yes. - it has in texas, i don't know if it has in new york. - yes. - where the state says, "states created the federal government, states created the cities and the counties, the states have the ultimate sovereign authority." so the fact is, local control only works if we like h

we don't need to do study of the commerce clause of the united states constitution. the constitution is clear that it's the federal government that regulates interstate commerce and not the state of california or any other state. the impact of leaving this unchecked is devastating. our economy was built upon the concept that we had one open opportunity to sell goods across america. we had failed articles of confederation one of the principal reasons it was adopted was to assure states cannot regulate businesses outside their jurisdiction. in california says they want egg sold in their state even if there is an arkansas or ohio, to certain california specifications, that means if texas, illinois and pennsylvania are different specifications you would -- the american economy. i think this amendment should be adopted by the committee. a study which delays the issue is not a good idea. if you can protect open american competition the king amendment is how to do that. i urge you to support the king amendment. >> i rise to support the amendment and reject the king amendment

if the president said i took an oath to defend and uphold the united states constitution. part of the oath is making sure foreign agents don't ever meddle in our elections again and he did not make the decision to get rid of comey, none of this would have happened and we would be better off today. at this point, a lot of interesting questions about what has happened with the special prosecutor and what happened during the campaign trail and i don't think that either side has a monopoly on what happened. i don't know who to believe at this point. again, transparency is the only thing that will help us find our way out. the actors in place now, they will leave, but the institutions will stay. we need to make certain that those are not undermined. >> we agree on transparency. you don't come up with theory and temperatull the justice dep to investigate a theory. >> we don't know if that person was put there. >> there may have been a martian who came to overthrow the united states. we should investigate whether a marti ark mar martian who came. >> should we be surprised? >> let

you're confident that the members of the various agencies are honoring their oaths to the united states constitution? >> yeah, in general, yes, sir. >> how is the president going to react to what mike pompeo just said? >> well, i think pompeo worded it very carefully, and probably by design, because the president does not like to be contradicted by his advisers in public or private. we heard the homeland security secretary doing a little tap dancing yesterday about another issue related to this, about the evidence that the intelligence community, the assessment, the intelligence community arrived that, that russia did help trump in the elections. she said i'm not aware of that, and had a parsed answer, because nobody wants to say in public that they agree with these theorys, because they -- if they have the information that clearly that's not the case. but they don't want to differ too much with the president because he gets angry about that. you can see that there's a lot of careful work being done to not seem to be undercutting the president. >> in is what he tweeted earlier today, the president o

to figure out for myself how it was that we have now entered our third century urn the united states constitution. it's an extraordinary thing. france, a country that like us makes bold claims about having lofted the banner of world liberty, has had since the time our constitution took effect five republics, two napoleonic empires, one monarchy, one vichy regime, every one of them with a different constitution. and yet here we are under the same text. but what i've found is that it's not just the text, it's a constitutional culture, a spurt spurt -- a spirit of constitutionalism, a way of doing things, habits, assumptions, traditions without which i guarantee you the text would be meaningless. and we know this because this is what happens in other countries. i was actually living in russia at the end of 2002 when the state took over the last independent tv station. russia has a constitution. they have a guarantee of free speech and free press. but the state did exactly what our framers had in mind with the first amendment. i mean, the king seizes the dissident printing presses. but do you know wh

we're talking about the constitution of the united states. envisions putting a super power over the president of the united states or in any way disturbing the balance of power among three coequal branches of government. >> lou, i agree with you that in the special counsel were in fact above the president of the united states -- lou: well he is. >> you have a fundamental constitutional problem. lou: he has the power to subpoena the president of the united states, has the power to bring charges against the president. are you kidding me? it's a joke. >> i'm not kidding if the president has the removal power and the power to terminate the special counsel, i don't think you can say the special counsel is above the president if the president at the end of the day has the power to remove the special counsel. lou: what should this president do? >> in my view, lou, i think this president needs to do whatever he can to bring this investigation to an end. lou: no, no. wait. come on. i want to turn to you, sean, thanks for being patient with me. the othe

the military have to do one thing before they can enter service, to take an oath to the united states constitution. and at the end of the day, that's what we're honoring. the people that made their sacrifices made their sacrifices to defend our constitution and today is not just important for those who are fallen, but also for the principles that americans stand for. >> congressman ted lieu, we appreciate you joining us from southern california. thank you. >> thank you, brianna. >>> and just ahead, will the president's political strategy against robert mueller protect him from impeachment? we're going to unpack all the new claims and revelations by rudy giuliani. >>> also this, we are tracking the danger from historic flooding and from the first storm of the hurricane season, as well, which just hit land a short time ago. keep your most valuable insights hidden from your competitors. the ibm cloud. the cloud for smarter business. the ibm cloud. almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey! oh, that's my robe.

general you're confident that the members of the various agencies are honoring oaths to the united states constitution. >> yeah, in general, yes, sir. >> that is an interesting way to respond. >> he seemed very uncomfortable there. because he's seen -- a man that talks about a movie, he's seen this time and time again once you undercut the president or go against the narrative he's put out there, you're chastised by the president for doing that, which is wrong. the republicans will have a big responsibility and i know that director comey put out his tweet in saying to the republicans what, will you tell your grandchildren, it is your obligation at some point, especially moments like this, is bigger than your party, it is really about america. >> let me read that quote. here is how james comey responded to the president's claims. quote, facts matter. the fbi's use of confidential human sources and term is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. attacks on fbi and lying about the work will do lasting damage to our country and how will republicans explain this to their grandchildren. w
