goodlatte: mr. speaker, i claim time in opposition to the amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, this amendment -- i yield myself such time as i may consume. this amendment plain and simple would disable 702, our most important national security tool. if passed, any chance of reform through the underlying bill is dead on arrival in the united states senate. we cannot risk 702 collection ending. this chamber cannot be complicit in allowing terrorists to fly under the radar if this amendment kills 702. and i sincerely urge you to oppose the amash amendment and lose the -- and not lose the opportunity to successfully balance national security and civil liberties which is what the underlying bill does. we definitely need to have a move toward more protection of our fourth amendment rights, and a warrant requirement in domestic criminal cases and a requirement that if you're doing a national security investigation and you find that the information is

goodlatte: mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from utah, mr. stewart. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, before i begin i want to emphasize how dismayed i am by the amount of disinformation being propagated by opponents of section 702. i heard some things over the last couple days and i just wonder how in the world could someone believe that. let me tell you why this amendment must be opposed. under the u.s. rights act, intelligence community would not be able to query the name of a suspected terrorist supported in the united states to see if he's in direct contact with recruiters. it would not be able to query a name in the united states who is approaching people with security clearances to see if that person is part of a foreign espionage network. we would not be able to query the name of a registered owner of a suspicious vehicle in front of the national monument to see if he's in contact with operatives oversee

goodlatte: mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield one minute to the gentleman from ohio, mr. chabot, a member of the judiciary committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. chabot: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman, for your leadership in ensuring that a number of important reforms to section 702 of the foreign intelligence act were included in this legislation. i rise in support of this modified version of s. 139. while this does not go as far as -- towards reform as the u.s.a. liberty act did, which was passed out of the judiciary committee in november, the reforms that are included help to provide a more adequate balance between protecting our civil liberties and providing the intelligence community and important national -- an important national tool for another six years before its expiration this friday. fisa section 702 is a critical tool used by the intelligence community to protect american citizens from foreign threats and has bee

that's what goodlatte is doing here along with mccaul. leader mccarthy and the other three leaders are in those negotiations and that's constructive and what we should be doing and i'm confident we will get a solution before too long. reporter: just to follow up on that, you said on the daca, you said earlier you expect it to be bipartisan. the demrat bill you believe is a good bill but democrats do not. the speaker: i don't know if all democrats are opposed to that. but shouldn't we be offering solutions? the goodlatte bill brings peace of mind to the daca kids and shows what the security piece looks like and that is constructive. the demrat bill doesn't say don't support daca kids. it's one way to solve this problem. i would like that people think that is a constructive thing to do. reporter: if it only gets republican support, would you be willing to bring it to the floor? the speaker: anything to advance these issues is constructive to get a bipartisan agreement that's going to happen. thank you. captioning performy

if speaker ryan is unable to resist representative goodlatte's proposal, he's never been for dream to begin with. we will have no deal. as speaker ryan bends to the hard right faction of his caucus which is way far away from what americans think, the hard right doesn't like dreamers, 70% of americans do. and if they ask for immigration measures outside the scope of our negotiations, then so will we. deal with chain migration outside the scope of dreamers? let's deal with the 11 million who need a path to citizenship, a tough but fair path. we can play that game, too. we can go beyond the confines of this deal, which has been dreamers and border security. and then the whole thing won't happen. there's people on my side who aren't going to want to make any compromises. i know that. there are people on both sides who won't want to make any compromises. as responsible leaders we have to come to an agreement, and we can't make everybody happy. that's why we have a house and a senate. that's why we have legislatures. the whole reason we so narrowed the scope of our negotiations is so that w

i agree with chairman goodlatte that section 702 should be re-authorized. i understand its importance to the intelligence agencies but none of us should support this bill which pretends it reforms while codifying some of the worst practices of the intelligence community in domestic crimes. when we came to congress each of us took an oath to protect the constitution of the united states. i ask that each of our colleagues honor that oath today and we work together to defeat this bill and bring the right set of reforms to the floor without delay. i thank the speaker and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. marino: i now recognize my good friend, the gentleman from texas, judge poe, for -- if he goes over a little bit that's ok. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is . cognized for a minute plus mr. poe: i am a former prosecutor, former judge. i despies terrorists. we ought to go after them and get them. 702 was written to go after terrorists

it is an honor for me to be here and to introduce congressman goodlatte as you know he is retiring this year after a long run in the sixth district of virginia but he has always been the leader on internet policy and on surveillance policy. so we dialogue over the years and but my last word is back when we started this the big thing for the internet was spam. we were a footnote in the telecom relay 1996. but what we learned there are multiple policy issues. and then to consider ourselves with a responsibility to work together. not just for the bottom line that is the state of the net to get together what are the issues working together but you have that dialogue between civil society and the private sector. holding hands because if you don't do that we will not end up with the open internet. so as i pass along i urge you to think community, cooperation and dialogue. mr. goodlatte has helped us with that thank you very much. >> thank you for those kind words from the heart we have former congressman rick white from the professional internet caucus i met him in the mid- 1990s and credit i

so there are a number of things in this more conservative immigration bill sponsored by bob goodlatte that will be a problem for democrats. i think the speaker paul ryan, his initial inclination is bring that more conservative bill to the house floor and see if it can pass and maybe it can or maybe it can't. if it can't, then we'll see whether he takes up the immigration bill that gets passed by the senate and that assumes something can pass the senate. i guess we'll see about that. host: alex bolton, the senior staff writer for "the hill" following the events the last couple days and beyond. thanks for your time this morning. guest: thanks for having me. host: the winners and losers of the government shutdown. we want to hear from you this next hour, for democrats call us at 202-748-8000 and independents 202-748-8002 and for republicans 202-748-8001. from the independent line you're up on winners and losers. go ahead. caller: i would say really both in the long run, both parties they're out because alienating the people they want to bring in the party, whether t's republicans and dem

so we want our leadership to tell the senate, we're going in with a strong goodlatte bill. no one wants to shut down the government but in march we'll reach the real deal on a big plus up on both sides with a deficit probabilitily approaching a trillion dollars this year. i know it doesn't go into a quick sound bite but that is signature. then the daca deal has to be rational. you're not going to whip some deal together last minute. >> we don't know what the deal is. what you're saying is -- >> no. >> i think he's saying if there's strong language, if house leaders say strong things, you'll vote yes on this? >> that's right. >> understood. let's move on to daca and want you to see, you warrant guarantees what happened after this continuing resolution if it's passed but before the march deadline. as you know the president said yesterday in his tweet, that a daca bill is -- that it's amnesty -- the democrats to be clear, democrats want in his words amnesty for all. do you feel that extending protection for d.r.e.a.m.ers, these just under 800,000 young people who came in young

they wanted a guarantee for their votes, that there would be a legislative vehicle, maybe the goodlatte bill, they wanted that, they wanted to it get to a vote. there was a trade-off there. so that happened enter-party. may have to happen across the aisle as well. we see a lot of folks, now, they look congenial still at this point, still smiles on faces, people look a little bit weary. maybe that's one of the tradeoffs, we vote on this tonight but we get to a daca measure within a certain number of days. we have a debate over how long this will be. even if they agree to something, one of the proposals five days, the other in a two week range, we will be doing this again. bret, we will be sitting here again doing this not too long from now. seems like the american public is getting distaste for this and governing from crisis to crisis. >> bret: you're looking on the left side of the screen, senator cotton with folded arms, and senator cornyn talking, two of the conservatives on immigration that would be pushing back against something that gave up a lot of the headway. senator kennedy fro

i went to the house side to talk to carthy, goodlatte, and the speaker. they had not been involved in that process. i had to go senators coming over with what i would characterize as a possible solution to the daca issue but it occupies one end of the spectrum. the president asked we invite some other senators and members of the house to come over. >> bret: the president asked for that. >> he asked for that. i don't want the president to hear one side of the story. the president likes to talk about issues. he likes to hear everyone's side. he prefers, not prefers, or certainly enjoys the intellectual discussion and wants people to raise issues that perhaps her issues he doesn't believe in. >> bret: does he decide it's a bad deal? >> in the course of the conversation, he said well, this is certainly something we can talk about but this is not what i had in mind, but it's a start point. we can talk about it, just like mr. goodlatte who was there, he has a proposed bill that's a great starting point. this begins the process. i went over to the hill today, as

i'm good for the goodlatte bill. i should show what mercedes sclap said i want to hear from the white house. i'd like to interview the president on this and obviously he just came back tonight. we hope to have someone on on monday. let's listen to what mercedes said earlier from the white house today. >> clearly it needs to be a bipartisan bill. if we could clearly have a 60 votes with republicans that would support this it would be easier. the congress is not in that position. that's why you need a compromise on immigration and from the standpoint of the white house it's clear the president has said time and time again, there needs to be a wall. if there's no wall, there's no daca. >> sean: congressman, your response. the goodlatte bill would be dead on arrival and not pass. what do you say? >> no wall, no deal. the reason we need the wall is the walls don't have prosecutorial discretion. >> laura: you get the wall and deal and end chine -- chain migration. that's 400,000 people a year. in five years you'd have more

they need to look at the proposal at house judiciary city congressman goodlatte has proposed it will work. end illegality. end process illegality and make the system work better. that's what the american people want. and the objectors, the sanctuary cities, the new jersey policy you just talked, about those are poehlers that favor illegality. they subsidize illegality. they encourage illegality. american people are sick of that it's time to end it. the choice is clear and it's going to be even clearer this year. we're going to have some votes in congress. people need to be held to account or you are going to fix this system, create a system that protects america we know as you said 73% of the people who have been arrested for terrorism came here were born abroad. so if they had been properly screened and rejected, we wouldn't have had these attacks in our country. >> tucker: someone i spoke to with direct knowledge said in his meeting on immigration lyndelle is i graham summed up his argument by citing a poem from the statue of liberty. not really a case you would expect for republic

goodlatte: want to thank you for the participating in such a long discussion. dialogueome real between republicans and democrats. us -- four of us will introduce legislation that i think will resonate with the american people. it will have a broad-based support within the republican conference, it will be a good basis for negotiation with the senate, with the democrats, and we look forward to introducing that. ofwill deal with a lot things. it is so important that we address this issue in a way that, as the speaker of the house has said, we take care of the daca recipients at we also make sure that this does not happen again. that is what our bill will be directed at doing. we will continue to participate in these negotiations with the senate and members of the other party. think. -- thank you. i am one of nine members of congress that actually represents a southern border district. i really appreciated being a part of this meeting. i thought it was productive. i do believe there is broad agreement on these core areas that we do need to negotiate. the four of u

[applause] for my last word before i turn it over to bob is back when we started this come in the big issue for the internet with spam no one, and we were a footnote, but going through free speech, what we learned as they were going -- there were going to be multiple policy issues that confronted it. but there is going to be no global government to govern it and that what we had to do is consider ourselves part of a community with a responsibility to work together, not just for the bottom line, but for the hea

if you want to put the goodlatte bill, put the goodlatte bill and then the bipartisan bill and then let the queen of the hill or the king of the hill see where the will of the house goes. and basically what one of those republicans -- it wasn't kevin mccarthy, they said, no, your bill is going to pass because you're probably going to get 30 republicans on board. i said, that's the will of the house. what are you afraid of. put both bills on the floor and see what passes. otherwise we're going to be back on september 8th doing another shutdown or threatening another shutdown. this is not the way to handle the business or the house. >> what do you think is going to happen now? do you think you're going get an up-and-down vote for the dreamers? do you think a pathway to citizenship is even possible? >> well, again, in our bill, there is a pathway, and again all i want is -- i don't want the republicans to be afraid of the will of the house. put goodlatte's bill, put our bill there, let's see what happens, and let the will of the house. but apparently they're afraid that their bill is not g

that is by chairman goodlatte. the fundamental pieces. daca is 800,000 people. by chain migration coming you multiply and about four, you are talking about 3 million people, 4 million people legalized. the latest data from last year is we allowed in 1.8 million additional legal and illegal folks. that is five or 6 million people competing with american jobs. at the same time, we will do welfare reform we are trying to get able-bodied folks off of the welfare rolls because it is better for them. we want to end the poverty trap. it is backward policy to be 10 million million, folks, displacing american workers. when you displace american workers, where do they go? they go onto the welfare rolls and set of the economy. we have to that vicious cycle into a positive, virtuous cycle going upward. we want basic fixes. if you and tame migration, and you put in place even if i focuses on legal employment, those will go a long way to solving the problems. i think the president is still pretty much on board, that those big pieces have to be there because he ran on that iss

the goodlatte bill is a daca solution. the goodlatte bill brings peace of mind to the daca kids and here is what the security piece looks like. that is constructive. the goodlatte bill doesn't say don't help daca kids. it doesn't do that. here is one way to solve the problem and give peace of mind to the daca kids. i would think people think that is constructive thing to do. reporter: if only republicans for, only bring it to the floor, and -- >> anything we can do to pass and advance causes and issues is constructive to get the bipartisan agreement that is going to happen. thank you. >> well could "coast to coast." i'm charles payne in for neil. that was speaker paul ryan addressing spending immigration and foreign surveillance. that we will cover and he addressed walmart's wage hikes and bonus news today. the world's largest employer giving a big financial boost to the employees. all of it thanks to tax reform. walmart hiking its minimum wage to $11 an hour, giving eligible workers a 1000-dollar cash bonus. keep in mind,

bob goodlatte is one of the most fair people you could ever run into. and i really believe under chairman goodlatte we are going to keep pushing until we get to the bottom of this. but corruption wherever it is found has to be rooted out and i hope and pray we'll reach a point where our democratic friends will say you know what? this really is bad. this is terrible. we have got to clean house now. we have got to get our f.b.i. and d.o.j.'s house in order. it got too far out of order in the past and i hope they'll join us and quit playing politics. this is just too serious. this is how you lose a country when the department of justice becomes just us. >> jon: serious issues on the front burner. you are investigating it with your committee. congressman, thank you. >> melissa: the former usa gymnastics team doctor who sexually assaulted young athletes is in court now as the judge prepares to sentence larry nasser. plus... the c.i.a. director with a stark warning about north korea as the regime works to upgrade its nuclear arsenal. how close we are to being

the goodlatte proposal, the mccall proposal has not a single democrat, not a single one. you, mr. president, have made a proposal that in the words of lindsey graham will not get a single democratic vote. it can't pass. but at the same time, the senators from illinois and new jersey and colorado and arizona and south carolina and colorado are painstakingly putting together a proposal where both sides give quite a bit. so there are sprouts of bipartisanship. more than sprouts that could save us from eyeball to eyeball and from a shutdown. my hope is that the president will understand it because the bill that was put together here in the senate was aimed, painstakingly pierced -- pieced together to meet what the president said he needed. protect the dreamers, president trump's full budget request for border security, far more than i would want to do, including funding to build barriers along the southern border, deals with family reunification. they call it chain migration for the dreamers. i know that some have said let's do it for the whole immigration bill. well, then let's talk

according to a statement just released moments ago by congressman gaudi, goodlatte and nunez, "rather than clearing up prior fbi and doj actions, thee recently produced documents cause us to further question the for plausibility and objectivity of certain officials that the fbi." congressman trey gowdy and john ratcliffe will be here in a moment with more on that. with the question that is seriously being considered now, was there a fix at the fbi and the doj to not go after hillary clinton? that the baseline question. chief national correspondent ed henry live at the white house with the breaking news tonight. >> martha, good to see you. breaking tonight, closes source to the house intel chair devin nunes told fox that he and some other key republicans are now moving to begin the process to release that four-page memo that is at the center of these allegations that top obama officials at the fbi and the justice department for conducting surveillance of top trump officials. these republicans include nunez who i mentioned, but also trey gowdy and bob goodlatte, chairman of the house ju

joining me right now is chairman of the house judiciary committee , congressman bob goodlatte of virginia. congressman good to see you. thanks maria. maria: thank you so much for joining us. what bothers people out there is you have to be able to trust your fbi, your cia, your irs, because there is a thing called the rule of law and what we've learned from some of these text messages is that there's a whole lot of bias and corruption going on at the top. tell us what you've learned? >> it's important to emphasize there are tens of thousands of great men and women whoever are day keep us safe, prevent terrorists attacks, solve crimes at the fbi but they're by several people in the leadership of the fbi that have a shocking contrast in the way they took the approach they took to the clinton investigation and the one they've taken to the trump investigation and it is stunning the more we see of these texts the more concerning it is and hats off to the inspector general at the department of justice who had these texts that were missing for five months and has figured out how to get access to

and chairman goodlatte will be submitting a bill over the next two or three days that will cover many of these things. and obviously, that will -- if it gets passed, it will go to the senate and we'll see how it turns out. i feel having the democrats in with us is absolutely vital, because this should be a bipartisan bill. this should be a bill of love. truly, it should be a bill of love. and we can do it. but it also has to be a bill where we're able to secure our border. drugs are pouring into our country at a record pace. a lot of people coming in that we can't have. we've greatly stiffened, as you know, and fewer people are trying to come in. but we have tremendous numbers of people and drugs pouring into our country. so in order to secure it, we need a wall. we need closing enforcement. we have to close enforcement loopholes, give immigration offices -- and these are tremendous people -- the border security agents, the i.c.e. agents. we have to give them the equipment they need. we have to close loopholes, and this really does include a very strong amount of different things for

goodlatte is the chairman of judiciary. we have got a daca bill that's rational that will avoid repeating the the same problems we have right now for the next 20 years. kennedy: unfortunately it's been tied to this idea of a spending bill. and it gets so late that no offense, you guys look incompetent for passing another continuing resolution at the end of the day. people are looking around and saying you are worried your party is going to be safe in the mid-term elections. if you can't pass basic spending bills. and with all due respect, and i understand you had a phenomenal victory over eric cantor when your campaign of ideas beat an establishment swamp creature who had his own ideas about immigration. but hearing people in the house blame the senate for the issues that now become our problem, it rings very hollow. >> it should because we have leverage if we go out and message and put pressure on the senate. and that's what's been missing. we passed all the bills. but that's not good enough. when the senate says no, they

he just said that representative bob goodlatte will be introducing a bill in the next few days. let's get to kevin cirilli. as far as we know from the headlines anything that we weren't expecting out of this meeting yet? >> president trump according to the new york times will be traveling to the world economic forum in davos. his administration largely skipped out on last year's event. president trump on the campaign trail was very much against these types of global economic gatherings. reversal from his previous position to avoid them. it also is notable given that you have someone like steve bannon's clout with republican certain's greatly diminished. someone who had really advocated against attending these types of global gatherings. that we areift watching and following here at the white house. vonnie: anything about the meeting that we weren't looking for? of thecrats coming out meeting suggesting they are still very much in favor of extending the obama administration stock a proposal -- daca proposal. in order to look that with the january 19 deadline that lawmakers on cap

president trump has to lead on the goodlatte bill. you've got the entire conference in the house that's got a good bill with offered cochairmen with expertise on these issues. decades of public policy behind the bill. president trump has to come forward with a loud voice and support that bill and our leadership needs to support that bill because the senate will be where the fight is. they rolled us on everything this year. health care. they haven't done a budget this year. they are probably not going to do a budget next year. we are expecting for them to roll the dick durbin bill with lindsey graham for example is not only daca, it is daca plus. folks should get ready. >> shannon: even if you get something passed on the house, you need nine senators, nine democrats to join republicans on the senate. you know that's never going to happen. >> you start negotiating from that strong position. then you negotiate. if you listen to the liberals, they thought president trump came in very strong. they were worried we were going to have a drama

there's pressure for the leadership in the gop to get the house bill sponsored primarily by congressman goodlatte, put to it the floor, put to it a vote. everybody has to know it's doa in the senate. >> right, this is a challenge to leadership. here we're talking about mitch mcconnell in specific. and what he's willing to do. because if he brings it and he loses, you know, you see there are about four republicans not voting for the bill, then it creates a whole new dynamic. he'd rather have the bill fail with him voting for it so he can bring it back as he chooses. but he wants to bring it to the floor on his conditions with his understanding of what is possible. he wants to remain in control of that political dynamic. now, let me say in response to what the congressman cha fetses said, i'm thinking -- chaffetz said, the last opportunity we had, the gang of eight in the senate, that had a bipartisan immigration bill. that bill went nowhere. got defeated by republicans especially house republicans who talked about amnesty and the like. now, coming forward, we know the last couple of weeks we have

brian: senator, bob goodlatte has a plan. if the house voted for it would you like the house to vote for it get it to you to get something bipartisan, would that be something of a scenario you could get behind? >> we welcome the contribution that bob goodlatte and michael mccaul made in the house. will heard made a product on daca and border security. frankly we'll need a bipartisan solution and we'll need a presidential signature this is situation where we want to get to yes. i'm confident as general kelly said last night, on bret baier, we'll get there. brian: have you talked to a democrat? >> of course, yeah. i talked, i talked to steny hoyer and dick durbin yesterday. i think dick finally beginning to accept the fact that this negotiated deal with senator graham and others is not going to work. so we're back at the negotiating table, and we welcome them to join us but that's not going to be the path forward. steve: all right. senator john cornyn from texas, sir. thank you very much for stopping by. we know you have a busy

representative goodlatte, thanks for coming on the show tonight. a tremendous reception for your bill. among your colleagues. it seems to check off all the items that are extremely important by president trump. but make some concessions to democrats. what are the obstacles? >> we first of all, are building strong support and we are building it rapidly to bring this bill to the floor of the house for a vote. and we have to deal with the senate. but the president has been clear he wants to have enforcement measures, a secure border where people come across the border he doesn't want loopholes. he wants to have chain migration and he wants to eliminate the crazy visa lottery program. this bill does all those things. i think that's why it's gathering a lot of interest, and it gives a permanent fiction for the daca issue. and therefore it's something that i think should at the end of the day appeal to a lot of people. charles: what about the democrats who say the visa lottery served the purpose. and the concerns are about daca, you know, the path to amn

bob goodlatte has a bill who has some interest. you have an agreement that maybe could be a compromise. we're looking at that. that's its own path. it's its own bill. we allegedly have an agreement on defense spending. why can't we have a clean vote on defense spending. >> listen, you're stating your case of what you want, i understand. as of midnight tomorrow night the government shuts down. so the very people that you're trying to protect in terms of soldiers at some point, they don't get paid. >> it's up to the administration to determine how -- what is essential, and i have confidence that nick mulvaney and president trump would prioritize funding our troops. unlike the previous administration, he spent extra money 230 block world war ii from going to the war memorial. you won't see any of that nonsense under this administration. >> you're confident your troops will be paid, obviously hundreds of thousands of people who lose their paycheck tomorrow night at midnight. >> payday is january 30th. my confidence is we'll get a bette

chairman goodlatte outlined, in our meeting with the white house was backed by the president as a starting ground for negotiations. i thought it was a healthy discussion and unique to have negotiations in the white house with live television cameras for 45 minutes. it was a transparent discussion that americans got to see these negotiations that are normally behind closed doors. they saw were the president stood and where members of congress stood. i think this bill embodies the four main pillars we came to agreement on at the white house yesterday. first, border security. it takes my bill that passed that provides $30 billion to support -- secure the ports and borders through technology and boots on the ground and physical barriers like the wall. it ends chain migration. and the visa lottery program, which is a random system that brings in people not based on merit but on a random lottery system that needs to change. we just need to look at what happened in new york city on halloween where the vehicle struck so many people and then last december with the suicide bomber attempt, both of wh

welcome the chairman of the house judiciary committee, bob goodlatte in washington. great to see you, congressman. i know you weren't at the meeting today that general kelly had were a congressional hispanic caucus. he did have some interesting things to say. i want to play a sound bite for you. this was general kelly on bret baier tonight. let's watch. >> there's been an evolutionary process that this president has gone through. as a campaign i pointed out to the members in the room that they all say things during the course of campaigns that may or may not be fully informed. but this president, if you've seen what he's done, he has changed the quays he looks at a number of things. campaign to governing are two different things. >> laura: when we hear words like evolve, congressman, a lot of trump supporters get nervous. on issues like the wall, mexico was supposed to pay for it, where are we? >> well, i think we're in a strong position. general kelly, secretary nielsen, department of homeland security, have been up here a lot on capitol hill. i wasn't at the meetin
