the united states congress, against my vote, voted to bail out wall street. [crowd boos] and they bailed out wall street because the major banks were considered too big to fail. well, it turns out that three out of the four largest banks today are bigger than they were when we bailed them out because they were too big to fail. turns out that five banks recently could not even produce documents as to a living will and how in a financial emergency they would break themselves up. i believe that when you have a handful of financial institutions in which the top six have assets equivalent to 58% of the gdp of this country, when they issue two thirds of the credit cards and one third of the mortgages, the time is now to break them up.

pelosi: it's the congress of the united states. the congress of the united states, each one of us has a responsibility to weigh in on our doing our job. and wherever the buck stops, the fact is congress is not doing its job. and these are emergencies. these are emergencies, zika, flint and others, so i'm not getting into what goes on in the republican conference. you'll have to ask them about it. reporter: but at the end of the day that's the issue, they were unable to move major bills under speaker boehner. he's responsible now and do you fault him in some way as being the person at the top? ms. pelosi: i'm saying it's a dysfunctional republican congress. they have been obstructionists in terms of congress acting and doing its job. they've been obstructionists to the president's initiatives and now they want to make the third branch of government, the judiciary, and incomplete body and not being able to function fully. so this is the attitude that exists in their caucus. as you saw, only 30-some members who are able to threaten to

united states congress. i think that's a life story of the aspirations of what californians want. secondly, i have 20 years experience in the united states house of representatives, doing the issues, knowing the people, taking the very tough votes when the pressure is on, like voting against the iraq war when everybody was so quick to go in. against the patriot act, when it took away our civil liberties. and third, i have 20 years of experience on military, homeland security, knowing the international players. none of the candidates in this election have the experiences i have. >> you say your family experience. so many things that other californians have gone through. what do y mean by that? >> for example, in the recession. this past recession that we had. my brothers, they had a very thriving business. it went under, and they lost their homes. so what people have experienced in california, our family has experienced in california. my dad, he has alzheimer's. now for 20 years. every family is going to be h

back in 1988, i ran for the united states congress one seat in the state of vermont. i probably lost that election, which i lost by three points, because i was the only candidate running who said, you know what? we should ban assault weapons, not see them sold or distributed in the united states of america. i've got a d-minus voting record from the nra. and in fact -- and in fact, because i come from a state of which has virtually no gun control, i believe that i am the best qualified candidate to bring together that consensus that is desperately needed in this country. >> thank you, senator. thank you. >> secretary clinton, i want you to respond to that, but why did you put out that statement blaming vermont and its gun policy for some of the deaths of -- by guns in new york? >> well, the facts are that most of the guns that end up committing crimes in new york come from out of state. they come from the states that don't have the kind of serious efforts to control guns that we do in new york. but let me say this -- in 1988, as we have heard on every debate occasion,

article states all powers shall be in the congress of the united states which shall consist of a enate and a house of representatives. all legislative powers herein granted shal be vested in the congress of the united states which shall consist of a senate and a house of representatives. article 1, section 8, clause 4, to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. that is solely the responsibility of this body. take notice of the absence of any reference to the executive office, executive branch, or judicial branch. article 2, section 3, however, states that the president shall take care that the laws be fthfully executed. it'seferred to, the take care clause. that the laws be faithfully executed. t established, not rewritten, not selectively enforced portions of the law. but to take care the laws are faithfully executed. that power is still delegat to congress just as it was over two centuries ago. if the supreme court upholds the administrative executive action, i fear that our public, that is the united states, will die. we will see an end of a nation that started fending of tyrann

i went to the congress of the united states and i had an amazing career. i served on the armed services committee for 18 years and let , me tell you, this is a difficult time. there is no time for on-the-job training. being a united states congressman at the age of 30 in 1983, i worked with republicans and conservative democrats to rebuild america's military. through that experience, i worked with my friends to reform the pentagon, to change the very operation of that building, with members of congress committed to a strong national defense. i was there and i remember the night that because of the strength of ronald reagan that berlin wall came tumbling down. that was an amazing time in american history. not as in modern history.

this is the congress of the united states. we are supposed to do the work of the american people and we have people in crisis in my own hometown and we can't get congress to act. not on a budget. not on help for flint. not on zika. we need to do our job in the body of this united states congress. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> seek perfect nation to speak to the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, this week the supreme court heard oral arguments in the united states vs. texas case. this is the texas-led challenge to the president's executive orders on immigration. a challenge that i strongly support. by granting unilateral amnesty to five million illegal immigrants, the president has blatantly disregarded his duty to enforce our laws. instead he is trying to rewrite them all together. mr. marchant: it doesn't work this way. article 1 of the

united states. the congress of the united states passed legislation allowing the president of united states to take the actions being considered today. i will say to everybody, i am looking forward. i am very optimistic that next andune we are going to rule they will be formally people signing up not only for driver's licenses, but to be able to protect their families. i thought the arguments this morning were very insightful. the ranking member of the immigration subcommittee and the house of representatives. very the arguments were encouraging. i thought justice breyer nailed it when he pointed out this was a political dispute between texas and the president. if texas is allowed to proceed every time they disagree with the president, they will be filing a lawsuit. this is some thing should not even be before this court. made it clear that the president has the power to grant deferred action which is based in long-standing and regulation mr. scher. to deny that at this point would be an extraordina

the united states congress has authorized the president of the united states to employ men of color for military purposes as early as the summer of 1862. lincoln and the summer of 1862 is not prepared to take this stance, is far too controversial. he authorizes some experiments with the investment of black soldiers as early as the summer of 1862, but he keeps it under the radar. on areas close to south carolina, kansas, the far remote frontier, they will begin to be the enlistment of black soldiers. in areas of contingent, that does not happen. until the policy is announced. when it is announced, lincoln authorizes a very aggressive way to recruitment of black soldiers. you begin to see posters like this one. in 1863.n philadelphia comment join us, brothers. brothers.d join us, these appeals lead to the enlistment while some are -- of somewhere along the way, 180,000 men into the forces, always segregated, called the color troops. maybe as many as a quarter of a million other african-american males served in nonmilitary ways in labor details and other capacities with united states force

we are standing here in the united states congress debating whether a woman should get fired for asking what the guy down the hall makes for doing exactly the same job. why do we recognize april 12th at equal pay day? it took the average woman working from january 1st of last year until today to make as much as the average man made in 2015. that means she had to work an extra three and a half months in order to make what a man made last year and that means once again she starts the year in a hole. equal pay day isn't a national day of celebration. it is a national day of embarrassment. we hear a lot about how the economy is improving. and there is good news to point to. unemployment is under 5%, gdp continues to rise, the stock market market is up. but too many families across the country feel like the game is rigged against them. they work hard, play by the rules and still struggle to make ends meet. here is the thing. they are right. the game is rigged against working families and pay discrimination is part of that. for women, it is a one-two punch in the gut. for decades, wages have

she was not greeted with a ton of plaudits, not psyched how she barged into the united states congress. there was the race was fairly similar. ultimately. tonight, the democratic establishment is much stronger than the republican establishment i think at this point. the democratic establishment candidates have an easier go of it, it hurts them in some places, not a fatal. it speaks to the two parties in terms of how orderly, how intact they are. a lot of it has to do with holding the white house, the president at the top of of the ticket, and very popular amongst democrats, holding it together. we saw it play out tonight. >> you are seeing that in the mcginny race. for reasons, pennsylvania specific and personality specific. we saw a huge out-powering, mcginn ginty. the vice president for her directly. >> she is the chief of staff of the governor. this is someone, without those connections, it was hard to see her in the position that she is in. able to propel her by the actual voters. >> maryland's vacated seat. someone who spent $12 million, wasn't able to win the seat. the voters ult

the congress of the united states passed legislation outlawing the president to take the very actions that are being considered today. so i will say to everybody that i'm looking forward, i'm very optimistic that next june we are going to rule and there will be 4 million people signing up not only for drivers licenses but to be able to protect their families. >> i thought the argument this morning was [inaudible] i'm the ranking member on the immigrants city in the house of representatives. i thought the arguments were very encouraging. i think justice breyer nailed it when he pointed out this is a political dispute between texas and the president. texas is allowed to precede every time the state disagrees with the president they are going to file a lawsuit. this isn't something that should even be before the court, number one. number two it was made abundantly clear that the ability of the president to run deferred action that is a long-standinofflong-standing ane statutes and regulations to deny that at this point would be extraordinary torture so i'm very optimistic the court will

that there has been no document put before the united states congress called a treaty with iran. the entire thing has been subtrifudged from the very beginning. and to the release of $100 billion in frozen assets to the iranians. now this gross conduct by the iranians, whether it's launching icbns, whether it is a running ak-47s and 50-caliber machine guns and rpgs to the hootie rebels in yemen. >> it is the most significant foreign policy of the obama administration. no matter how this turns out, i think they have enabled iran to get nuclear weapons. in addition to that they have made them be the power in the region as well as the world's leading sponsor of anti-terrorism. >> the president looks to be right now -- i'll put this it this way. the congress is investigating whether he's a neighbor or fool. let's turn to nato. donald trump says realign nato. we're watching now the immigrant crisis, the illegal immigrant crisis, refugee crisis in europe tearing apart europe. we have a june vote in the uk as to whether they'll remain part of the glorious eu. this is a mess. nato, in wh

about the contents of the deal and the assurances by the united states, specifically the president of the united states, to the iranians. >> you know, i spent all day carefully looking at what the iranians had said during the negotiations and since and what secretary clinton, president obama said and secretary kerry said during negotiations and i think there's a possibility that it's even worse that iran is cheating. i think there's a distinct possibility that the administration told the american congress one thing, and they told the iranians something else so that the iranians in fact are following what they think is the iran deal. >> and either way, either way, the bizarre reality is this, there's been no document put before the united states congress called a treaty with iran, the entire thing has been sub ter fuj from the very beginning and to the release of $100 billion in frozen assets to the iranians and now this gross conduct by the iranians, whether it's launching icbms or running ak-47s and 50 caliber machine guns to the houthi rebels in yemen. >> it is the most significant

the united states congress had authorized the president of the united states to employ men of , asr for military purposes early as the summer of 1862. so lincoln in the summer is not prepared to take that step. he's even as far too controversial. he authorizes some experiments with the enlistment of black soldiers, as early as the summer of 1862. but he keeps it under the radar. so with areas on the coast of south carolina, areas out in kansas, the far remote frontier, there will begin to be the investment of black soldiers. attractrea that would proper attention, that doesn't happen until after his emancipation policy is announced. when it is announced, he authorizes a very aggressive way the recruitment of black soldiers. so you begin to see a poster like this one. this is a poster that is published in philadelphia in 1863. come and join us, brothers. these kinds of appeals ultimately will lead to the enlistment of somewhere along men in theof 180,000 american armed forces, always in segregated forces called the colored troops. maybe as many as a quarter of a million other african-ame

states congress called the treaty with iran. the entire thing is than subterfuge from the very beginning through the release of the $100 billion in frozen assets to the iranians and now this gross conduct by the iranians whether it's launching icbms, whether it is running ak-47s and .50 caliber machine guns and rpgs to the houthi rebels in yemen. >> it is the most significant foreign-policy decision of the obama administration the iran deal. it's going to affect generations to come because however this turns out i think what the administration is enable iran to get nuclear weapons but in addition to that they have enabled them to be the hegemonic major power in the region as well as the world's leading sponsor of state terrorism. that is going to affect everything. lou: the president looks to me right now -- looks to be right now, well i will put it this way the congress is investigating. i don't see any middle ground but let's turn -- donald trump says ray line angel. we are watching now the immigrant crisis, the illegal immigr

you're looking at a man who ran for the united states congress in 1988. one seat in vermont. i was opposed by all the gun people. do you know why, charlie? i said maybe we should not sell and distribute weapons signed to kill people in the united states. to be attacked with a d-minus voting record from the nra -- yes, of course i don't like that. >> rose: on the iraq question, do you believe it even though you say you said it because you'd been attacked but do you believe that that secretary clinton is responsible for deaths in iraq because she voted -- >> look, this is what a believe. >> rose: it's the question in which you believe. >> what i believe is that what they had to say is the worse policy blunder and led to massive destabilization in the region and the death of thousands and brave good people. it was a terrible blunder. do you think any member of the senate or house that votes for war is responsible for every person who dies? of course not. >> rose: then don't say it. >> charlie, this is a one-way lecture here. i've been attacked over and over again. i've been call
