goodlatte: mr. speaker, i think it is very fitting as we begin police week that we pass this important piece of legislation that makes it very clear that our sworn officers who keep people safe but risk their own lives and work in our bureau of prisons have the opportunity to have a firearm when they're traveling to and from work and it's not practical the way the current rules work. this law is vitally needed to help save lives. i know that mrs. albarati is here to see that that happens. i commend her. i admire her courage. and we should not allow her husband's life to be lost in vain. let's pass this legislation and make sure it doesn't happen to others in the future. i urge my colleagues to vote for the legislation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia yields. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 613. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair -- mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the ge

goodlatte: mr. speaker, at this time it's my flower yield five minutes to the chief sponsor of the legislation, the gentleman from florida, mr. rutherford. and maybe of the judiciary. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida is recognized for five minutes. mr. rutherford: thank you, theirman goodlatte. and thank you -- thank you, chairman goodlatte. and thank you, representative nadler, for your support of this legislation. mr. speaker, i rise today in strong support of h.r. 5698, the protect and serve act of 2018. this important bill will enhance penalties for anyone who intentionally causes harm to our law enforcement officers. i can tell you after dedicated 40 years of my life to law enforcement, i know what officers go through every day when they put that uniform on, say good-bye to their families and walk out the door to protect their communities. sadly, we have seen a recent rash, an increase in violence against officers, especially in ambush-style attacks. in fact, just last month

congressman bob goodlatte, chairman of the judiciary committee. rep. goodlatte: thank you both. and your viewers. shery: coming up later, don't peer withcial peer to david rubenstein. during the transition of the president of the united states, donald trump set -- sent out a tweet saying your biggest product, the f-35, was too expensive. so you did give him a discount? >> we drove the price down. we got the deal done. we did it in an accelerated fashion. he definitely had an influence. shery: catch the full interview tonight at nine clock p.m. eastern. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ shery: this is "bloomberg markets: balance of power." i'm shery ahn. david: i'm david westin. breaking news. a new york federal judge has ruled that president trump cannot block users from his twitter feed. the first violates amendment as his twitter feed is a public forum. the first amendment says the government cannot curtail speech. it is saying basically donald trump is part of the government so if people want to express their views on twitter, it's ok. it is not one he stopped

goodlatte, and the gentleman from maryland, mr. raskin, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from virginia. mr. goodlatte: i ask that members may have five legislative days to include extraneous material on h.r. 613 under consideration. i yield myself such time as i may consume. in 2004, congress passed and president bush signed into law the law enforcement officers safety act. it allows certain law enforcement officers including correctional officers of the bureau of prisons the right to carry a concealed firearm throughout the united states, district of columbia, the commonwealth of puerto rico and all other u.s. territories for self-defense and the defense of others. it also allows law enforcement officers to carry their firearms while off duty. these laws keep citizens safe, but there is still room for improvement. for example, the bureau of prisons does not permit its correctional officers to safely store their firearms at a locker and employees are prohibited from storing them in their personal vehicles. this leaves them vulnerable to

goodlatte. mr. goodlatte: i ask unanimous consent that the question of adopting the amendment to h.r. 5645 may be subject to postponement as though under clause 8 of rule 20. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, ordered. he house will come to order. gentleman may proceed. mr. goodlatte: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the question under -- on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. good lat: i yield myself such time as i may consume. in 1914, congress passed the trade protection act marking the beginning of a dual antitrust regime in the united states. because both the department of justice and trade commission enforce antitrust laws, company mace and often do have different experiences interacting with one agency in relation to the other. one area where it can be most striking and troubling is in the merger review process. when a company wishes to m

goodlatte: mr. speaker, i move to suspend the rules and pass h.r. 5682, the first step act, as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 5682. a bill to provide for programs to help reduce the risk that prisoners will recidivate upon release from prison and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from virginia, mr. goodlatte, and the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler, will each control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from virginia. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on h.r. 5682 currently under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, the house is not

you have -- we want a vote on the goodlatte bill. 200 republicans. we don't want to vote on this queen of the hill thing that will produce an amnesty and they know how it worked out. four bills included in there. no one knows what's in the four bills. they are pushing that process. the democrats will offer up a huge amount of votes for pure amnesty of up to 10 million folks over a decade. so the compromise bill, the democrats never want to compromise. we already have dealt with daca. that's the goodlatte bill dealing with all the kids daca qualified and they get a new status and can join the workforce, etc. and the major problem is this latest piece that is a political cycle. they are saying let's just do a wall in exchange for daca. then you will have another daca in five years. everybody knows that. the wall isn't the major problem. over half the problem we have is from visa overstays and lack of e-verify and chain migration. that's in the trump plan. the goodlatte bill is even better than the white house proposal in my view. it has been studied fo

goodlatte won't pass. what does pass questioning the dreamer bill. 3.6 million dreamers with jane in ten years it's 10 million illegal granted pathway to citizenship. speaker ryan said we are going to pass the goodlatte bill. it it is in committee. members told me it hasn't passed out of committee. that's the first step. if they want to whip it, they can get the goodlatte bill. >> laura: everyone watching needs to know paul ryan, we like paul ryan buddies on his way out has not moved this bill in the committee. the committee has to move it out to consider about on the floor. it has to go to the senate. the senate is not going to prove the goodlad bill. 60 votes in the senate is a problem. >> you can use it for the midterms. can i play something for you. the president tonight was in indiana. this made me smile. let's watch. >> joe donnelly voted against enhanced vetting. think of that. what, what in the world would anybody be doing voting against enhanced vetting? why? >> that's exactly right. >> laura: enh

if goodlatte isn't picked. democrats as you mentioned know their dream act, which grants 3.6 million immigrants amnesty has the most votes. the problem is the dream act has no enforcement and it doesn't fix our broken immigration system. what is the fix? >> right. the fix is we have to keep compromising within the conference as republicans on the goodlatte bill and find a sweet spot that will pass into law. the good news at the end of the day president trump, i think he will veto straight dream act. it doesn't fix the problem. you were right, the democrats used to be in favor of this. senator obama in 2005 was in favor of all of this and bill clinton in his inauguration speech was in favor of all these elements. they cared for the working class. now the democrats have pivoted to this identity politics instead of caring about everybody and the average working person back home. in my district it's a 70% or 80% issue. the democrats won't talk about it because they know it's a loser. some of the republican in the g

lou: you've got more people lost right now because they don't know what the goodlatte bill is. but they do know this. they know right now the goodlatte bill is being watered down so it's nothing like what you were promised. it is another game by paul ryan and the leadership led by kevin mccarthy and steve scalise and their hides would be on the line. what they've done is contemptible. it's appalling. and for the conference to go on. i give you all of the commendation in the world because you're the only one in the conference who had the guts so say you're not going to resign the speakership and stay here eight months and drive us to disaster in the midterm elections. >> le let's make this perfectly clear. kevin mccarthy would already been speaker if he had 218 votes. that's what nobody is telling you. lou: i don't need anybody to tell me that. >> we can't pass a bad immigration bill. you're right. those people are selling us out in regard to the process of immigration. everybody is here for legal immigration. but the process has this go through the very basis. there's plenty of

that's all in the goodlatte bill. we don't need four bills. >> we don't have the votes for goodlatte. >> laura: that is despicable. >> if donald trump said i want to build a wall. let's come together and put $25 billion in and let's build the wall and make some other tweaks. stop chain migration and deal with daca. it's a package that the president wants and we could vote for it. i don't know what's going to happen in the senate. >> i can't support the goodlatte bill. >> laura: i'm curious, why? >> so many people talk about extending amnesty. i did not support president trump's executive order. i felt it was unconstitutional. i think we need to do real row reform. and just extending obama's policy three years at a time doesn't make sense. we have to fix some of these problems -- zblu. >> laura: you don't want build the wall? >> of course i do. >> laura: the only problem you have is the amnesty. >> it's an extension of president obama's executive order. >> laura: obama did not deal with chain migration or the visa lott

the goodlatte bill, goodlatte has been absent in and absentia. we have a president at the threshold of securing every major policy victory. and it looks as those globalist forces are circling and moving in to suppress what should be a moment of exhilarating victory for this president and for the nation. >> it should be. if we were 10% as a congress as this president was, we would have done so much more to advance his agenda. alone the president has reduced illegal border crossing by 40%. if we would do the things he's asking for, i believe it's a solvable problem. the democrats want you to believe you can't solve it and we can. lou: again, the threat against america first is his policies, his doctrine is all too real tonight, and we appreciate you being here. matt gaetz. up next, the trump administration softening its positions on sanctions for a chinese phone maker. we'll be right back. insurance that won't replace the full value of your new car? you're better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with new car rep

it's not quite the bob goodlatt goodlatte, what's going on? >> i would love to see it be the bob goodlatte bill. i think he's done a remarkable job of balancing competing interests. i hope they are not coming up with something like that cooked up in 2013. they told us we are coming up with a deal. it was rumored for many months, years in fact, that they were working on it. and it was about a thousand pages of something nobody had read. people voted for it anyway and then they switched it and replaced it with a different bill. i fear they might be doing the same thing and i think they remember the consequence. >> laura: the freedom caucus doesn't want it. they are to come out and said we don't want amnesty, but can you get something positive? you could end his chain migration. that is a huge amplifier of immigration in the country, nonmerit-based. that's a big driver. >> absolutely. that's one of the things i like about the goodlatte proposal. it addresses that an addresses the daca situation. it does so in a responsible manner that shuts off t

goodlatte: mr. speaker. on that i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. all those in favor of taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise and remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having arisen, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this uestion will be postponed. for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition? mr. rokita: good afternoon, mr. speaker. i move the house suspend the rules and pass the bill, h.r. 5242, as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 5242, a bill to require the attorney general and the secretary of education to conduct a survey of all public schools, to determine the number of school resource officers at such schools. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from indiana, mr. could he tit -- mr. rokita, and the gentleman from virginia, mr. scott, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from in

the goodlatte bill deals with daca. it brings them out of the shadows. so that's the compromise. president trump even doubled down and offered 1.8 million and the democrats said no to that. 25 republicans are helping democrats do their own policy because they cared about cheap labor. the cheap labor crowd would get cheap labor. but the american people know they pick up the tab. two kids in school, that's $26,000 and the taxpayer pays the bill. charles: you have a congressman in florida who wants to get involved in this. we know a lot of them are involved in tight races in districts with big democratic votes. is it every man and woman for himself and forget about the party and forget about the cost, i want to stay in washington, d.c. >> i know people with tough races, and that's understandable. but we are working on a bill. if you want to compromise you compromise around the edges on the bill. there are agricultural compromises that have been made. the number has been compromised. we softened up some of the provisions. so the compromise is already there. we don't want to leap frog

that more conservative bill by bob goodlatte and compel a debate for house minority leader nancy pelosi, house gop leaders trying to short-circuit them's efforts. kevin mccarthy warned a closed-door meeting, they could cost the gop the majority. it is unclear denim could face this. the california primary is june 5th. the next fate could hinge on the immigration discharge petition, 218 signatures to force bills onto the floor, 213 members signed on so far. >> let's talk to congressman jeff denham who interrupted memorial day weekend to give an inside scoop where this immigration debate is. >> sometimes you hear something that stops you in your tracks, nancy pelosi saying your effort is to make america white again. >> disappointing to hear the rhetoric out there, nancy pelosi signed on to the discharge. we got to get something done. there were many promises made last year to bring up a bill, there was a deadline the pres. imposed march 5th. congress failed to act. we need border security, and have certainty, and do both. >> let's get viewers inside the total, a discharge petitionppen? >>

goodlatte: i rise to support fair sugar policy. the sugar program represents a hidden tax on businesses and consumers and response i will for the loss of u.s. manufacturing jobs. each month, families go to the grocery store, sugar and many of the products they buy is subject to a cost that is generally 40% higher than the world costs. very few if any will ever know that a hidden sugar tax has been imposed upon them. the tax totals $2.4 billion a year for american consumers. there are more than 600,000 sugar-using industries including thousands in virginia. i want to be keep those jobs in the united states and i hope my colleagues will vote for this amendment to help put an end to the hidden costs of the sugar program. i yield back. ms. foxx: i reserve. mr. conaway: how much time is left on both sides? the chair: the gentleman from texas has 4 1/2 minutes. the other side has 3 1/2 tax. mr. conaway: that hidden tax will not be shared with consumers but shift those profits into the multinational corporations that we are defending by s

it's not quite the bob goodlatte, what's going on? >> i would love to see it be the bob goodlatte bill. i think he's done a remarkable job of balancing competing interests. i hope they are not coming up with something like that cooked up in 2013. they told us we are coming up with a deal. it was rumored for many months, years in fact, that they were working on it. and they finally released it. and it was about a thousand pages of something nobody had read. people voted for it anyway and then they switched it and replaced it with a different bill. i fear they might be doing the same thing and i think they remember the consequence. >> laura: the freedom caucus doesn't want it. they are to come out and said we don't want amnesty, but can you get something positive? you could end his chain migration. that is a huge amplifier of immigration in the country, nonmerit-based. that would be a big -- that's a bigger driver of the growth in migration, isn't it? >> absolutely. that's one of the things i like about the goodlatte proposal. it addres

the word on the treat is they are watering count goodlatte bill. it's 700,000 kid out of the shadows. it could go to 1.2 million pathway to citizenship. lou: do you think the house leadership -- they are selling out to the establishment interests. but is there some thinking on the part of someone that they will get a thank you from somebody for doing the dem's bidding. the global elitists and establishment? if they are, they are even more disdysfunctional and limited in their intellects than even i imagined. >> they would be well advised to go back to senator obama. he was in favor of this package. bill clinton, barbara jordan, the civil rights activist. they wanted all thiets, e-verifying and legal hiring. why did they want it? for the american worker. they may get praise from the cheap labor crowd. but they won't get praise from the american voter. the american voter will have a revolt if they see this thing go through. lou: the conference is reflected in your choice of leadership. who do you want to be speaker? >> i obviously like jim jordan. he

">> conservatives all across the country understand the goodlatte legislation is conservative and the kind of legislation we need and does what i described. it's got 20 some different policy areas that those down. we have asked our leadership for a vote on that. they have promised to get that. it is yet to happen. that promise was given months ago. all we are trying to do is make sure it does in fact actually happen. >> shannon: i want to make sure we ask you about the toughest story -- top story about the investigations. the mueller team turned over the memo that outlines his powers, the authorities that he was tasked to do. federal judge demanded he turned it over unredacted. so the federal judge has it. you don't have it. you are a coequal branch of government. i know you have asked for. >> congress in meadows and i sent a letter on april 9th and we actually asked rod rosenstein a couple is later. he said no, we are not going to show it to you. they sent us a letter saying take a hike. we are not going to show to you. then the same week they told us that, the judge says i want to s

trey gowdy and bob goodlatte are probing for documents on a comey friend used as a go-between by comey to replace those memos. rosenstein fired back at house republicans prepping articles of impeachment against him for not producing documents quickly enough, the department of justice is not going to be in his words extorted but republican mark meadows fired back to seek facts, not rhetoric. >> we are joined by a member of the house freedom caucus considering articles of impeachment against rosenstein. matt gates from florida, good evening to you. you have probably heard from the deputy attorney general responding to this when this topic came up. >> people making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time and i think they should understand by now the department of justice is not going to be extorted. we will do what is required by the rule of law. >> he says you're not, people making threats about his position are not going to be extorting the doj. >> you played a clip where rosenstein said no house republicans would put their name on these articles of impeachment, i

there's been pressure from conservatives in your conference to address immigration, particularly the goodlatte bill, make it related to the farm bill. are these tensions in your conference over the issues of immigration and the fact they're trying to tie them gration issue in some form to farm policy. mr. ryan: they aren't related and i wouldn't describe that as accurate. this they're trying to tie one to the other. what we've been trying to do is find an immigration bill that has 218 votes. when the court took away our deadline of march 5, the democrats pretty much stopped talking to us on it. so we want to see if we can do our own gramings bills. we've been laboring to get to 18. it's clear that we don't have 218 for a specific bill. that is why members are now trying to figure out, how can they get their version of what they think should happen to the floor? we're working in earnest with our members to try and address all of their concerns about immigration reform. so that's -- those are ongoing conversations. the question is, can we get legislation to the floor that has a chance of making

. >> this is why you need to pass the goodlatte bill, it is systematic and covers all these bases. we will give you $700,000 relief, trump went beyond that, he said we will do 2 million in the left says no to that deal and what we are trying to keep from happening is we want to be compassionate but if we keep showing compassion over and over we send a signal and put out a line, keep coming from central america crossing illegally, then you don't have will of law anymore and that we have to be stephan. we have to send a clear signal and when donald trump first came into office border crossings went way down and only after paul ryan promised us we would pass the goodlatte bill, that will send a signal to the rest of the world that the united states is a beacon of liberty, we are welcoming and compassionate, we used to bring in 500,000 folks legally, then 1 million, now million and a half last year legally. they went through the line and now folks are claiming refugee status, some have been coached etc.. you have progressive groups working with them. that has been on the news every nig

the chairman of that committee joins me now, bob goodlatte. welcome to "america's newsroom." >> good morning. >> bill: go ahead and tell us what you hope to discover from these three f.b.i. officials, sir. >> well, these three officials know a great deal about what was going on at the f.b.i. during this period of time when director comey was conducting an investigation that treated hillary clinton and her associates in a very different way than the investigation they subsequently launched against the trump campaign and the so-called trump/russia collusion which so far has not shown any collusion, any obstruction, and therefore we want to know why it is that the f.b.i. was handling these two different matters in such extremely different ways showing an extreme bias that should never occur in a presidential election and both democrats and republicans and independents all should be concerned about this. republicans the manner in which he stepped in and called for the review of this and then announced that we were not going to have an indictment o

the goodlatte bill -- he deserves a vote. the president deserves a vote. that's why paul ryan has his own bill in this. the democrats have their clean dream act. and then we have the usa act. >> so we understand the process. one of the problems is some of your fellow republicans are saying that what may end up having is most votes will go to say the democratic dream act. barack obama went around to everybody and unilaterally decided that the children of illegal immigrants that are here in the united states, union lat -- unilaterally he decided they could stay here. you'll wind up without border security but with making daca codified into law. >> certainly, it's disappointing to hear this type of rhetoric when the god -- goodlatte bill is an extension of what president obama did. i was against that executive order. i think congress has to do its job. but in a bipartisan bill, we are going to actually have a border security piece, cybersecurity, and deal with the chain migration through more judges so we have due process very quickly. the real debate is do r

goodlatte is a lame duck and he has a poor record of actual achievement. joining us tonight, former deputy assistant attorney general tom dupree. great to have you with us. security clearance defense attorney sean bigly. wrote a terrific "wall street journal" op ed about the security clearance process in order to obstruct outright the trump administration. thank you both for being here. plet mlet me start, tom, with, e idea that we have to put up with the special counsel. a president who -- i mean, this has become a super authority that now has more power than the president of the united states, not envisioned by the constitution in any way, shape or form. why the hell should we put up with it? >> this goes back to the fundamental problem with the special counsel is that the very idea of a special counsel if is you're going to take a prosecutor and put them outside of the chain of command, outside of the bureaucracy. lou: it is outside of government. >> it ears certainly outside the ordinary chain of command. i think it's within the president's power to fi

then there is a good let bill bill -- eight goodlatte that is extremely restrictive, not bipartisan. any one of those that garners 218 signatures would pass. that is queen of the hill. in a way, that its capture the .lag witho we've already signed the discharge petition for the aguilar bill. we've but forward -- we've put forward numerous bipartisan bills. it is really a shame that speaker ryan had refused to bring anything to the floor. this is forcing his hand. republicans are forcing the speaker's hand. host: i will introduce callers if they want to ask about the severed on immigration, particularly -- want to ask this effort on immigration, particularly dreamers. you should know that our capital 'soducer saying there 13,000 signing this petition. if it does get to the floor, what does it mean for those -- 13 house members signing this petition. if it does get to the floor, what does it mean for those dreamers? all of that: if happens, what would a million dreamers would be particularly the country, able to contribute to the economy. the studies are off the charts about the econom

we will continue to try to get california to do more. >> laura: we just talked to bob goodlatte on the show and he's very concerned about these immigration centrist. i called them liberal republicans, who are pushing this new daca amnesty right now and trying to push this discharge position, it ran through the house of representatives at least. what do you want congress to do and this president to get this immigration enforcement done the right way in order to satisfy his promises to the american people? >> i think the president has been very clear on this. it's very easy. we need a wall. we need to close the loopholes and then we need personnel and resources that we need. apprehension without detention removal is not border security. we've got to have the beds. we got to be able to apprehend, detain, and then remove. that's judges, lawyers, detention bets. it's a very easy formula to have border security. border security is part and parcel to the sovereignty of a nation. >> laura: how many people, about crossed the border last month in the united states? family units. >> take the orig

goodlatte and mr. king. founding fathers had it right, enumerated it in the country that this congress, body, is the only body that can regulate interstate commerce. a state could come in and say we've got this policy has to become protected because they want to protect a certain sector of producers in their state. and that's just chaos. there's no reason to study this. it's quite clear that congress, we have the jurisdiction, the authority and the responsibility to regulate interstate commerce so this doesn't get out of hand. and, you know, in this case we're talking about eggs in this case but, boy, if the eggs are raised in iowa, ohio and are under the regulations, usda regulations and all that and they ought to have the right to sell those eggs anywhere in the united states. >> would the gentleman yield? >> yes. >> here is the headline for you. live in california and buy eggs? if voters approve this in 2018, they'll need to be from cage-free hens. so the next initiative is going to say anywhere you produ
