us? commissioner koskinen: there is a major discussion going on in the presidential campaign and in congressbout the corporate tax system. we have the highest tax rate in the world. it is a complicated system. we have a global system instead of regional. we had tax people on wherever they are and him. the changes in that system are really policy issues. they are not something the irs can be directly concerned with. we actually administer the law as it is decided by the congress. we watch with interest. we try to survive -- provide support technically. if someone wants to change elements of the code, international or not, we give them advice on how it would impact taxpayers and how easy it would be to administer. decisions about the complexity or unfairness is really the domain of the congress and the president and treasury department. our job is when they complete those discussions, to do the best job we can administering the code. greta: irs commissioner john koskinen, thank you for feeling our questions. we appreciate it commissioner koskinen:. we aresioner koskinen: back with our reporter

and off the past few years because he's been out there in the trenches working for so many of us in congress. working with his fellow senators. and you know, doing the hard work to come up with new policies. he has a detailed tax policy that lowers taxes for families and businesses because he understands that you know, he wants to live the -- wants everyone to live the american dream the way his family did. he understands foreign policy and national security. i think it is the most conversant candidate out there. he has experience in foreign affairs and intel committee. i went to church this morning and a pan take breakfast afterwards and the young people there, as well as old people, people from all different backgroun backgrounds, were coming up to me and talking about marco and his vision for the future. they are inspired by him. >> lets talk about vision and with vision comes rule making. voting on laws. when you look at his record, in the senate, he was the senator in 2015 who missed the most visit. if you compare that to a rand paul also running for president, he missed 20 out of 339 v

the president's plan is in the hands of congress. libby casey is live for us in washington. is congress at all receptive? >> reporter: del, because the house and senate are both controlled by republicans, this plan is not being met with interest. and even though president obama points out that there was once by partizan support, it really no longer exists. now president obama is aware of that, and he acknowledged as much as he spoke today. >> in congress, i recognize in part because of some of the fears of the public that have been fanned oftentimes by misinformation, there continues to be a fair amount of opposition to closing guantanamo. if it were easy, it would have happened years ago, as i wanted, as i have been working to try to get done. but there remains bipartisan support for closing it. and given the steaks involved for our security, this plan deserves a fair hearing. >> reporter: that fair hearing may happen on capitol hill. we do expect to see congressional hearings take place, del, but don't expect republicans to get on board at all. even though the administratio

states treasury in taxes in any given taxes, that's a pretty good investment for them but it's not too great for the rest of us. they could not do it without enablers in this congress. american companies that stay in america and contribute to building this america, contribute to build america, manufacturing in america, they deserve to have a level playing field. they help keep us secure at home and abroad, and they deserve to be treated fairly. in order to create more opportunity for all, we need more responsibility from all. let's at least get a report about it. that's all that this motion to recommit does is to ask for a report to go along with the report that they're seeking from the treasury department to tell us what's happening, how our middle class, our working americans are having to pay more because some others won't pay their fair share. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the entleman yields. he house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. marchant: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. marchant: mr. spe

tax loopholes will not be closed until there is a firm determination on the part of more of us in the congress like myself, to demand some equity in the tax laws. and that is why i have supported, and do support, an increase in the deduction for the average family because i think it will lend itself to the health of the economy and compel this government to do justice in the tax laws rather than continue to spread the benefits to a handful of people who do not need them. mr. ames: senators, before we proceed -- you have an answer to the question that was raised, senator kennedy, but let me point out this fact. senator humphrey raised this point. if you finish your answer to a specific question, and then you have some comments you would like to throw in on some subject raised before, you will have the option to use up the two-minute time in that kind of reply, should you so desire. this will be true of both. the question that was asked of you, sir, senator kennedy, which was, "if you were faced with a lunch counter sit-down demonstration by negroes, would you chase such demonstrators from your

track record sets him apart sanders: anyone who checks my record..will find that after 25 years in the us congress there is no one who has a strongre pro union pro worker voting record and life's activites than bernie sanders does while that may be true -sanders and clinton continue to battle it out for key endorsements including the afl- cio labor federation. here in nevada - the culinary workers union says they wont be announcing an endorsement this primary cycle. a stark change from 2008 when the union supported obama in his run against mark peplowski, proffesor of poli sci at csn: the culinary union still hasn't endorsed anyone in this race and theyre arguably the most powerful union in nevada. and they've stayed out of it. theyre kind of stepping back saying we're not going to get into politics at least not today. while the endorsement of workers unions remains unclear - the new cnn poll shows that clinton is seen as a better pick when it comes to race relations, foreign policy and immigration. clinton: so we have work to do to stop bad things from happening and bad actors making our lives ha

in office. but look, the final thing is the option is, the other option that right now, congress is nudging us in a direction of, is one that only serves to exacerbate our national security vulnerabilities and allows extremist organizations to continue to use the operation of the prison at guantanamo bay as a recruiting tool. we know they do that and why we give them that weapon to use against us is beyond me. what's also true is that the dollars and cents here just don't add to a logical republican congressional strategy. there are democrats who are omplicit in this, too. members of congress are suggesting that we continue to operate the prison at guantanamo bay after we have transferred all those individuals eligible for transfer doesn't add up. the per inmate cost is only going to continue to skyrocket and when you look at the longer term cost implications, even in the short-term it doesn't make sense. in short-term we could recoupe the costs in three to five years but be in a situation where we re saving taxpayers 85 million -- $85 million each year by moving these individuals to u.s. soil. o

republicans in control of congress and democrats in control of the white house anything that gets done will be by definition bipartisan. and they usehe majority in congress, to strengthen cybersecurity to fight a opioid addiction to cure cancer. or are they not? the question really is less for them because we put forward proposals in the budget. the gentleman right here. >> charlie clark with government executive media group. the republicans seemed to want to have the reduction in number of workers in the federal work force and maybe abolish some agencies. the upshot of this, and the size of the federal work force or the size of the government. >> we do have particular places in the federal government where there needs to be increased investment in the number of people as well as the skills of those people, cybersecurity is a very good example where that is a critical national need to where we do propose increasing number of personnel as well as raising their skills, $62 million investment as part of the cyberplan the president announced today that really goes to this work force piece of the issue but we have other places, the vete

us in six years. we have given a detailed spending plan to the congress 178 million will be used to improve taxpayer service. responseillion was in and request to $700 billion. we're making good progress thanks to the good funding, but request we would like to get were in 2000.they level thisach that year, but we will be better this year than last. >> what do you say to taxpayers and tax preparers are frustrated and not able to get anyone on the phone. having to sit on the phone. justify and heidi defense their inability to get through to people. john: we spent a lot of time on preparers. -- people who care most about taxpayers turn out to be the irs employees. when you have to stay online for a lengthy. of time before you get in, they are troubled by that. forward, i think people understand that the level destineder service is on how many people do we have answering the phone? did withhe thing we the money is higher a thousand people more than what we had before. if it is going to take this year, we're going to need more resources. getmately, people need to hold of the irs on the phone and there have to be

i think it raises questions about how serious republicans actually are about using their new found majority in congressrun the country. they seem to be using their majority in congress to run campaigns. then't think that's what voters intended when they elected the representatives in these positions. >> the president has said he clearly wants to continue putting on these priorities after his presidency. is this budget in some ways the transition from president obama to the beginning of that transition to citizen obama where you are laying out some of these markers that he intends to continue to on after his presidency? >> i would not draw the linkage that directly. benefits of of the being citizen obama is that you are unconstrained by the kind of responsibilities you had in your previous position. said, the budget that will rollout next week will codify the highest priorities the president has the country in the middle class. i would certainly anticipate that when the president talks about public issues after he is left this office, that he will continue to advocate for those kind of priorities. >> [i

in office. he basically acknowledged the impossible politics and you referenced it earlier, no members of congress want these prisoners in their district, their state. i wondered if you could give us a sense of, get us in his head a little bit, how he feels. he's got 10 months left and this is still an issue that he does not seem to be able to get rid of. mr. earnest: i think the way the president sees this is he sees it as an opportunity that he has to prevent a problem that was passed on to him from being passed on to the next president. he takes that approach not knowing who the next president's going to be. his view is that the interests of the united states would not be enhanced by passing this problem on to either a democrat or a republican. in the oval olves. -- office. and the president's acknowledged that the politics of this are tough. and that there's an opportunity given that he didn't have any more elections to run, vice president biden doesn't have any more elections to run. that means they have some clarity of judgment that they can use here to do the right thing for the american people. and, again, in a lot of ways, what we're looking for from congress is, even if

we are in an area where it frustrates us in congress, a lot of people across the country that if the says you are not supposed to do something, you expect the chief executive officer of the land to say, i will execute the law. in this case, if he says, i signed it into law but i will try to get around the law, that doesn't send a good message to the people out there. he has the ability to interpret a look around and figure out if there is some way to get around to it, but i don't think that bodes host: well for the system. what about his argument that we theput these prisoners, ones that remain, about 30 or so, in maximum security prisons in the united states? guest: he is welcome to make the argument. he has tried to argument and failed. republicans and democrats alike have said, we want to keep them at guantanamo bay. i have been there, i have seen it. it is a secure facility, it is a case that was designed specifically for these individuals that we do not want to rejoin the battle against our forces or allies. it has worked to date. if the president wants to change to offeris welc
