I know your seat has been moved into the toss-up column by the cook political report. how do you assess your chances in november? what are the challenges for you? >> im very positive. secretary clinton did carry my district by 3800 votes in the last election, i was honored to carry it about 38,000 votes, i will campaign for re-election based upon my views and where i think the nation should move forward. >> you have tried to certainly distinguish yourself from president trump on a number of fron...

The freedom caucus hate this bill, think it is too much money and dont get much out of it. theyre voting no on this. pay no attention to the timer. leadership can keep it open as long as they want. theyll see how many republican votes theyll get. i think youll see a horse trading process with democrats, to see if democratic votes are needed to get this done, to try to see if they can move to this today. this is the vote to watch, hallie. >> havent the democrats voted no? >> they can also come ou...

Investigation into every app that had access to a large amount of data. >> do you have any scale or any scope of what you expect to find? >> were going to review thousands of apps, so this is going to be an intensive process, but this is important. this is something that in retrospect we clearly should have done up front with cambridge analytica. we should not have trusted the certification that they gave us and were not going to make that mistake again. >> reporter: so zuckerberg talking a lot ...

Outspoken in opposition to omnibus bills. >> do you think the government will shut down friday night? >> i think well be able to find a way to make sure this gets completed before friday night midnight. >> let me ask you about the process. "the washington post" is reporting, i know you and your staff have been working on this omnibus bill for weeks along with house and senate leadership and just yesterday the president weighs in to say he was not happy about this nearly finished deal. so is that...

Congress, the worst bill our leadership has allowed to come to the floor. its 2200 pages that funds sanctuary cities, funds planned parenthood, restricts second amendment liberties and grows the government at a $1.3 trillion price tag which will lead to a $1 trillion deficit. >> gym jordan and mark meadows in the freedom caucus have been important for president trump on other projects, on another initiatives as well. what are you saying to the freedom caucus today given how displeased they are? ...

We wish congress worked more effectively and completed its process, and then we could have an honest debate on the appropriations process. we like many of the bills the appropriations of the house passed. were face with a choice of six months left in the fiscal year whether or not we want to fund our military, and provide them with the most significant increase since world war ii, provide the first significant pay increase in the last ten years to our troops, and begin to fund our border and man...

That is just heart wrenching to me. >> harris: why do we keep getting to the point that i say these words? were looming toward a government shutdown over the issue of daca. its the same thing. what is happening? >> and part of the reason is the house passes our appropriations bills. the senate has not taken up appropriations bills in years and years. we need them to go through regular order and an orderly process and get this signed. its a funding vehicle. you have the budget and then you have t...

To me that is remarkable. i get very concerned about that. my constituents are concerned. until we pair this back, its going to impact maybe long-term the markets. >> neil: good luck tearing it back. that doesnt look to be happening. raises another question as to what changes on capitol hill. democrats hope they change things, taking over the house after the mid-terms. im sure you have a different view of that. a lot of republicans are frustrated with speaker ryan. are you? >> i dont say anythin...

Can have a budget process, an appropriations process, that works. the house passed all of its appropriation bills this year before the deadline in september. were doing our work here. the senate has a different system. as much as we are frustrated by the system, it isnt working. that is why we have a joint select committee, between republicans and democrats, senators and house members, to figure out how we fix this budget process so it works more smoothly in the future. yeah? >> speaker, the tax...

Discussion, the immigration discussion as long as government is still in operation. he made that very clear. weve got a continuing resolution that goes to the eighth. that means that the democrats have got to agree that they will give us an additional extension until we can get omnibus completed and get the top line dollars in. so we can get year and a half omnibus bill to do not just six months but full year and a half in a final product for the appropriations process. i think he did the right ...
