We start this morning with liz and washington, d. C. Caller certainly its a little bit early to take notice of the polls that are being conducted, i find that the majority of america really doesnt Pay Attention until the rubber meets the road and its really time to focus in on the candidates. I dont really see this as being all that newsworthy. I think a lot of people are still on the sidelines just really watching the circus of whats going on. We get the nominee from the democratic side, which should be and will be hillary, thats when saying people will start ok, now its time to really Pay Attention and see whats going on. Is i find itreally a little bit disturbing that the media hasnt really pounced on thesect that trump makes grandiose statements about all kinds of things from all the supporters that he has in all this money that he has, but yet no one ever asks for the proof. Where in the world you have the proof on this . Its just brushed over. Another comment is there is no one as qualified as Hillary Clinton, her problem is she is overqualified as females normally are, we have to sit there and wait for someone to give them a chance. Male,lary clinton were there would be a whole lot of news saying how overqualified she is for this job. Host lets hear from mike from south carolina. Independent line, talking about these new polls. Go ahead. Surprisedll, im not neither one of these candidates are highly inspiring to me. I wish they would spend most of their time on issues, as opposed to comment trumps case, just trying to put more negative stuff about the other person out there. I just dont find either one of them very inspiring. You are notid surprised by the results you saw as far as the closeness in numbers. Why is that . Caller we both have such negative readings that im not sure folks out there really right before you go into the voting booth, are going to be what reallygure out can turn the on by either one of these candidates. I find neither one of them really highly inspiring, or one who would, in my opinion, theact overwhelmingly voters against the other one. Host in six months, who using most likely you will be voting for . Caller i would say most likely Hillary Clinton, only because i know more of where she stands on issues. Now that i necessarily agree with her more not that i necessarily agree with her more, but i know where she stands more. Where has trump has been around the yard on a whole bunch of things, and not very specific on any of them. Host albany, georgia, the democrats line. Johnny is up next. Caller i dont put much stock in any polls anyways, does anyone can buy polls. Donald trump could be this close to hillary at this time, because he ended up everybody just quitting the Republican Party because they didnt like him. And now, all of a sudden, the public is going hes close to hillary by three points. I dont think hes close to hillary by 25 points. Host there are two polls in two days that suggest the closeness. Caller it depends on who you call. If you want to call republicans, youre going to get donald trump at 90 . If youre going to call democrats and republicans, you got a get donald trump at 10 , because elite republicans dont even like him. How can these bowls be there . These polls be there . I think a lot of hogwash. Host justin, go ahead. Really want to agree with both of the last two callers. To areally comes down choice between the lesser of two evils. Said to really going to be split across Republican Democratic lines. , really worry for this country should donald trump win. Host where you out as far as who you are putting support for . Caller im reluctantly putting support towards Hillary Clinton. Somebodyuch rather see like mr. Host senator sanders . Rather i would much someone like senator sanders, thats not going to happen if you choose between the lesser of two evils. I love your show, you do a Public Service, thank you. Host thank you for watching. Senator sanders make yesterday in a conversation on the talk shows, abc news and the Washington News poll asked about candidate popularity amongst the three candidates. 60 unfavorable rating for donald trump over 30 . Over favorable, 44 . A 51 favorable rating for Bernie Sanders, with those suggesting an unfavorable rating at just 38 . Elliott, good morning. From baltimore, marion maryland, independent line. Caller i think that rather than focus on personalities of the candidates or tactics and strategies, one of the things that Trump Supporters are attracted to him is because they are so dissatisfied with many of the departments of the federal government. Day outheir day in, function. The tsa is the latest, but also to irs scandals goes back several years. Leaving to them cdc and going to the nih sent a big message to me. The department of justice, everybody is wondering what they are going to do next. The fbi seems independent, but who knows . Host this all goes back to the candidates involved, thats what you are saying . All those issues go back to the candidates involved in this contest . Caller yes, because clinton is literally supporting every department. She has been asked about the v. A. Many times, and wont even speak to the issue. Im a veteran, trump is going to get every veteran vote in the country. Not because they like them, they like him, then even think he is dangerous or reckless, but they , so i upset with the v. A. Think that goes on in the tsa lines, who is going to get blamed for that . Not trump. Host thats elliott. Again, were showing you these polls and asking you what you think about them as far as the closeness in numbers and what you think is behind it. And generally what you think about what it means for 2016. Democrats, call 202 7488000, republicans, call 202 7488001. Independents, call 202 7488002. Hillary clinton was on meet the press, talking about donald trump and his candidacy. Heres what she had to say. [video clip] i have 2linton million more votes than donald trump. Voters, as opposed to the kind of backandforth in the public arena, voters show up to vote and they take that vote seriously. Yes, i know he has a plurality of republicans who voted for him. But i think, in the course of this campaign, we are going to demonstrate that he has no ideas theres no evidence he has any ideas about making America Great, as he advertises. He seems to be particularly focused on making himself appear great. And as we go through this campaign, were going to be demonstrating the hollowness of his rhetoric. And the danger of a lot of what he has said. Im very confident that the American People are going to want change. Every election is about the future. I have laid out very positive approaches. Im not running for anyones third term, i am running for my first term. But i also want to do what works. My goal is to produce positive results for the American People. Incomes, jobs, rising the kinds of tangible progress that i think people are yearning for and they need and deserve to see. Host again, your thoughts on these recent polls. Jeanette in window, maryland. Democrats line. You . R how are host im fine. What do you think about these results . Caller i dont trust the polls really. In the worldny way of donald trump could be ahead of hillary. And that the authentic. That hillary will prevail over the selection. Donald trump, i believe, is doing a reality show. I dont believe that he really wants to be president. Hes doing aels reality show and thinking about what he can do. He has no substance in what he is saying, hillary has more substance. I think she has more experience. I do like bernie, but i believe that bernie is overpromising the people. I dont think he can deliver what he says, because is not him making the decisions i am self, he has to go through the senate and the house. I believe that he is overpromising. I do believe that hillary is going to win this election. Us from mainens on the republican line. Go ahead. Caller i think after bill clintons nafta, loads of people could not afford Everything Else he has done, he should be in jail and the way hillary handles her secretary of state and light all the time about benghazi and Everything Else, our countries and real bad shape, and we are worrying about bathrooms. This Democratic Party has gone over the edge and i was raised as a democrat. After lbj, i became republican. Host what do you think about the closeness of the polls . Caller i believe that has more support than they realize, in this country need something done. Our cities are starving. In some cities is only walmart and nothing else left. Host we heard about initial republican resistance to donald trump, do you get going to change come election time . Caller yes, ive been supporting them since he chose to run last summer. Host what was the one thing he said or did or expressed that through your support to him . Haver the democrats destroyed the economy between bill clinton and jimmy carter, bill clinton, now this president are reducing the size of our military. All they know how to do is cut military and do social spending that doesnt really work. All the socialism around the world is collapsing, especially venezuela right now, i hamburger cost 170 in venezuela. We are going to be in the same boat if we keep on the way we are. If you are on the line, stay on the line, if youre calling in, keep calling in. We want to get your thoughts on these new result in what you think about them as far as campaign 2016 is concerned. To get a sense of whats going on on capitol hill this week, mike willis from the hill joins us, we have a holiday break coming up. What is the workload like for congress this week . Guest good morning, pedro. Is relatively light, congressionally speaking. Leaders do you want to wrap things up before the memorial day recess, as you said. There are some adjudging things happening on the committee level. In the senate, they are going to spend almost the entire week on a big defense bill, a 602 billion bill, this is one of those big packages, there will be hundreds of different amendments on it, mitch mcconnell, the majority leader wants to get it wrapped up before memorial day. The big thing to look at here is john mccain, he is the chairman of the committee with jurisdiction, and he wants to lift the spending cap and raise at six under 2 billion number he said by at least 17 billion more, Congress Passed a big budget bill last year that set the limit, he wants to lift it. Theres going to be a partisan fight there. The democrats dont want to lift the cap, they want to hear to the budget deal they passed. Lift theamendment to spending cap did pass with overwhelming bipartisan support in the committee, it was 23 to three. Support on the can the level. That is not as early going to translate to democrats on the floor. That will be an interesting element to see. Can mccain left the cap . There are also a couple of other provisions in there that will be controversial and fun to watch. One is with guantanamo, obama has wanted to close that for years. Democrats support him, but the republicans do not. The do not want them to transfer those presented to the United States, so theres already some linkage in there that limits obama from closing the prison. Republicanahoma wants to make those restricted even tighter, so hes expected to offer amendments that will be closely watched. Women in thing is the the draft, should they have to register . We havent had a draft in decades, but men of a certain age still have to register for it in the event that it is reinstated. Women do not. Theres been this push to have them register as well. For number ofial reasons, but there was an amendment that passed in the a 610ast week passed billion defense bill that would have to be reconciled with whatever the senate comes up with. But they included requiring women to register, and mccain and mcconnell both support that provision. It will be interesting to see if people try and take it out. There was a push in the committee to try and take it out, and it failed. We expect to see that on the floor, that will be interesting to watch there as well. Host on the house side, summarize what goes on activity wise . And give us a brief sense of the hearing for the irs. That one start with tuesday, the has to do share a committee is going to have its first examination, they want ofa move towards impeachment virus commissioner John Koskinen. This is a years long push, but more recently, a number of conservatives in the house, the Freedom Caucus met with Speaker Paul Ryan and said listen, if we dont get some earrings on this thing, we are going to force a floor vote, and that puts ryan in a tricky spot for it almost immediately, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee we had heard him say anything, and then very suddenly, he announced a series of hearings on the impeachment. Thats going to be tuesday. It will be much watched. Level, the committee puerto rico debt crisis they have been, for months and months trying to negotiate this deal. He finally came up with something, and on wednesday, the National Resources committee will have a markup vote to restructure that 70 billion in debt. This has been very controversial, because the democrats are worried about a reduction minimum wage, they are worried about pensioners on the overlooked by the bondholders. There are all kinds of different issues that are going on there. When the white house announced the deal, you have nancy pelosi and the very liberal Ranking Member of the National Resources committee they all endorsed it. It wasnt a full throated we love this thing, but they said they are going to support it. You can expect that to move fairly quickly through the committee on wednesday. You want the floor on the house. They areo be going to take up back to the appropriations, they had a number of appropriation bills last week, so moving on that strategy. Department of energy looking at the water and info structure projects is the 37 37 billion bill. On the surface, its not a controversial bill, the department of energy usually passes pretty easily. But last week, the democrats on the Veterans Affairs bill put a whol
