thank you for c-span. i always appreciate tuning in to you guys. i am a supporter of donald trump. i have never heard of this q thing. so i just -- and my first comment was going to be, you were not explaining what some of these theories were, you said something about a numerical theory, and i kind of just chuckled. as a donald trump supporter, would not get into something like that. you guys are, in a way, spreading news on being informed about this, so i'm going to have to check it out. my final question would be, what you are saying about people believing in that kind of stuff as compared to those who still think that elvis is alive, so that is where i am at. thomas: i want to take this caution very seriously. there is a mere exposure effect. i appear on c-span, not reluctantly, but to indicate if anything you hear today makes you curious, go ahead and read in established news media organizations to acquaint yourself with a particular theory. many sort of rigorous world reporter stories exist, checking

thank you for giving me a chance to talk. c-span needs to do a better job masking their bias by monitoring their calls -- you need to keep the calls on point. tracking what other countries made contributions to our country? --you track any other form foreign countries they can tribute to? maybe there are sector contributions across multiple countries. thank you. guest: unfortunately, the center for responsive politics work is focused on politics in the united states, but that would be a fascinating research question. a lot of laws have been in flux the last three years. i would be curious to see what the state of disclosure looks like in those countries as well. host: we talked about the revolving door between congressional staffers and lobbying for other countries. is it legal for their family members to lobby for other countries as well? guest: there's no limits on who can actually be a foreign agent , especially since they don't discriminate on lobbying and pr. i can't speak to the legality of that. host: beverly calling from okl

c-span. fair, monday morning at 10:00 eastern on c-span. r. if you have questions about the federal budgeting process, now would be a good time to call in in the segment of the washington journal. an overview of how the budgeting process is supposed to work over the course of a fiscal year. way it is supposed to work and the way that congress set up to work is that every year in february the president is supposed to put out his imprint of how things are supposed to work. and april the congress is supposed to have their budget resolutions and by the early summer congress and the house in the senate are supposed to be working on their appropriations bills which is all supposed to be wrapped up by september 30 for october 1. the way to supposed to work ideally. host: we are in late summer now. are we working that way this year? guest: congress is working that way a little better than it usually does. towardste is moving some spending bills being done. congress usually doesn't get the work done. there has only been four fiscal years where they have actua

caller: thank you, c-span, and thank you for your guest. officeesident obama left there is no reason why they don't share tsa and the fbi and the cia because they are all one. can you explain what president obama did? thank you. guest: i am not sure i am qualified to explain that. i do know that tsa falls under the department of homeland security. and they have been pretty vague about that information and being shared in the same database with different databases. we don't know if that is a combined intel situation because they will not tell us. and that is what is pretty outrageous because we don't know. host: when the government targets individuals without probable cause rather than observe the public's square, that is a violation of the fourth amendment. is that a base for some of the court cases you're talking about? guest: the sources we spoke to said this could be an interesting legal case. and fairly unprecedented in terms -- we look at surveillance , or the courts due largely, in terms of electronics and wiretaps and that sort of th

caller: thank you for c-span. 'lls guests.me ya host: go ahead. caller: thank you for c-span and for your guests. here is how i feel. i have nothing against immigration, legal immigration. but i feel ifist you come into this country illegally, is to be a 10-year mandatory federal sentence. that would put an end to it. i'm tired of paying hard taxes going up for this kind of stuff. another thing, the liberals -- it's ok for people -- i lost a brother due to any legal. the liberals -- due to an illegal. if it happens to your family, you got what you asked for. host: the reason we brought our guest is a talk about the employer's role in this. caller: that's the thing. you should use e-verify. the reason why people don't go out and work is because it is temporary and they don't pay enough money. i don't care what they say, there is not enough money involved in it. the farmer is making out like a bandit. the farmers are greedy as all get out. host: you put a lot out there. guest: my condolences to your family from whatever happened there, but like you s

caller: good morning and thank you for c-span. ve to agree with the callers from maryland and massachusetts. when we go on google, we create our own algorithms of what we are searching for, so you are kind of creating your own bubble. that is what that is based on. i don't think the government -- i think the government is -- does an adequate job as far as looking for any threats. people searching for terrorist groups and things like that, that should be regulated. outside of that, people are creating their own bubbles. this is another divers and area tactic from trump and we are all ionary tactic from trump and we are buying into it. host: the washington times story takes a look at testimony by bruce or, a justice apartment official -- department official theing -- the fbi doubted avenue -- the dossier. not only did they know it was unverified, but they knew there were credibility issues if it ended up in a courtroom. that was mark meadows saying that. disclosure is the latest twist in a complicated saga. ties to those creating dos

i want to say a special thank you to the c-span audience all over the world. so good to have you with us and we love c-span. it's fitting that this talk today about the extraordinary clare boothe luce should be given at an event jointly sponsored by the heritage foundation, where mrs. luce was a member of the heritage board of directors for many years and the clare boothe luce center for conservative women, which is inspired by the life and legacy of clare boothe luce. my name is michelle easton, the founder and president of the clare boothe luce center for conservative women. we're out in herndon, virginia. when i founded the institute 25 years ago, i chose the name because clare boothe luce was an incredible trail-blazing woman. she modeled leadership for women both then and now. she was a pioneer in her time who served in a variety of leadership roles. many of which were first for women and some of them are still quite rare. she was born in 1903. this is a picture of baby clare and her parents separated when she was very young. she was raised by a sometimes

thank you for c-span. just so happens i didn't vote for trump. i had to hold my nose like you want believe to vote for hillary but i like trump more. have a got of money from this casinos. used to go there every summer and play black jack. i won more than i lost. but i just don't think he's qualified for the job if always like lebron james, i live two miles from lebron james. love to the guy. wouldn't vote for that guy if he were the mayor of akron. he's not qualified. so, the way i look at it is, if trump is forced from office, makes no difference to me. replaced by mike pence, not by hillary clinton. i just think he's like a ross perot. admired ross perot but he is a showman and that's what trump is. he is just not qualified doctor the job he has. like the guy. i wouldn't vote for lebron james for mayor of akron as much as i like lebron james. >> guest: oh, what i would say to the caller is, i think trump is exactly what we need right now. i think washington has really gotten fat and happy and forgotten about the people who voted for. the. trump

thank you for c-span. it's really great what you guys do.ust want to reiterate that the fact that you literally just cover it and there's no commentary from your end, that is really powerful. i wish more people would understand that. , a lot of it is about the ideas -- some of the ideas are generally pretty good. it is the execution that is poor. unfortunately, he is a real divider, right? there's a lot of areas i want to hit on. example, the for lowering of the corporate tax was a good thing, it makes us more competitive and reduces the number of corporations nee leaving the u.s. not enoughside, benefits for john q public. opening up north korea, initially, what a great thing. take a look at nato, the idea of making nato pay their fair share, absolutely. the execution of alienating our allies of 75 years or more is not so great. it'sels like right now, like you have a teenager running your house. are things going to get done? yeah, but probably not as well as they need to. a lot of people beat him up on his iq. the broader question is this

thank you for c-span. guest: that is a great question. --re was probably no single that has occurred in 50 years that has been more responsible for the transformation of the media climate. the federal communications come in for something called the fairness doctrine, which said we are responsible for overseeing american commercial broadcasting. cable has been a different animal. with profound consequences. in terms of commercial broadcasting, which at this point was dominant, and the fcc said we have a responsibility. they do find that as requiring that both sides be aired. the both sides have access to the audience. the drawback of this is a could be used, for example richard nixon did not want to debate hubert humphrey in 1968. doctrined the fairness and not including george wallace come a there were a lot of things. i think it was in the early 70's that it was in effect repealed. in, as iid was usher say, a kind of electronic and now digital wild west, in which well, for example talk radio as networksolved, certain ,ikewise with a very

thank you very much for c-span and have a nice day. you raisely the issue of fiscal responsibility. i am an independent. i but -- i vote for the best man or woman but i probably vote republican 60 or 625% of the time in my life. i don't recognize a republican. the freedom caucus on the hill, you should call it the clinton caucus. it's nice to buy stuff on the credit card but like individuals, nations eventually have to pay their bills. that wentts overwhelmingly to those who did not need it appalled me. tax cuts for corporations. a limited tax cut for corporations made sense but to cut it to 20% -- we will see what happens. let's hope a miracle occurs and gallops into the sunset of fiscal responsibility was always a hallmark of republicans. it gone. you cannot expect fiscal responsibility from the democrats will stop it's a race to see who can spend more money on what. sometimes wars are necessary but but there is a mix of good intentions and absolute stupidity. we have been involved in the wrong wars for too long. host: president trum

caller: thank you, c-span, and thank you for your guest.fficeesident obama left there is no reason why they don't share tsa and the fbi and the cia because they are all one. can you explain what president obama did? thank you. guest: i am not sure i am qualified to explain that. i do know that tsa falls under the department of homeland security. and they have been pretty vague about that information and being shared in the same database with different databases. we don't know if that is a combined intel situation because they will not tell us. and that is what is pretty outrageous because we don't know. host: when the government targets individuals without probable cause rather than observe the public's square, that is a violation of the fourth amendment. is that a base for some of the court cases you're talking about? guest: the sources we spoke to said this could be an interesting legal case. and fairly unprecedented in terms -- we look at surveillance , or the courts due largely, in terms of electronics and wiretaps and that sort of thin

one of the wonderful things about c-span is that you can listen to several testimonies from experts whoome in and one that i have been privileged actually was on the c-span video library from a very knowledgeable person about the pardon of presidential power. one thing i hope viewers understand. host: who is that person so we can direct viewers to the c-span library? caller: susan allowed -- susan louche, i think it was. she was big time involved with the clinton impeachment and the stuff that went to the supreme court. she is very knowledgeable about the nixon and ford. --m pretty sure it is susan very knowledgeable and one of the things i hope listeners are taking in in terms of c-span's broadcast is that pardon powers are restricted to federal crimes. that was something i thought -- state crimes are not pardonable by the president of the united states treat if it is a state crime, you cannot pardon it. if it is a federal crime, that falls under the jurisdiction. about 80%, 90% of the laws we have in this country are founded by the state legislature. i thought that was an important th

my comment is the story not being said and i would like to see you maybe get some of the actors on c-spano discuss this. a couple weeks ago chicago had more black men killed and shot then police doing that in an entire year, yet you don't see anybody out there protesting about that gun violence in chicago. where is black lives matter? where are these pro athletes protesting black on black crime? it seems a little bit hypocritical when they talk about black lives matter and yet when you see what happens in chicago, nothing happens. on top of that, there have been a few instances with black police officers involved with black men and i remember 30 years ago they were saying if we have more minorities in the police force, things change. there is a lot more minorities in the police force and when they do something, there is no protest. it is only white officers. i would like to see a panel discussion on that, maybe. host: on this program yesterday we had two guests joining us onh differing perspectives the violence particularly in a chicago. these men brought two different perspectives to the

we show you an episode from c-span's landmark cases series. first, a discussion with los angeles time supreme court of david savage on the judge kavanagh nomination. >> when they decided the case in late june, it was the most surprising decision that i have seen in the 30 years of doing it. in 1992, it looked like there were 5-7 to cut back on the right to abortion or overturn roe versus wade. that seemed to be where we were heading. i spent some summer talking to the justices. i remember talking to justice scalia, he was still steamed up about what happened. fallte a long story in the , reconstructing what happened inside the court. trying to explain to editors, this wasn't just another abortion decision, it was an earthquake. majority with the right to abortion. it will not change anytime soon. that was scalia's view. i remember writing that. it was also the fall bill clinton was elected. going forward, we had a situation where there is not going to be more pro-life justices appointed. 26 years down the road, now things are about to change.
