. >> joining me now is congressman emanuel cleaver. the conflict in your home state has been surreal for a lot of people to watch. what is your initial reaction to what the president had to say today, calling out not just any protesters who were engaged in abei but also calling out the police? >> i think what the president did and said today is important. it's also important for us to understand that in these kinds of situations the people who would create disturbances are not watching nbc or msnbc or cnn or anything else. but i think it was important for the president to make that statement. the chief of police is asking for calm and i agree with him but i think the police ought to calm down first. because i think that what they are doing is unintentionally inciting the people. when you -- look, ferguson is a very small town. i mean, very small. it's compact. all of the people live in a little area together. and when they see tanks rolling down the street like they would see in baghdad or in some other troubled spot in the middle east

emanuel cleaver is a democrat from new jersey, and joan is an editor at large at salon. congressman y have been listening to you lately, and you have a lot to say about it, but i'm dumbfounded by the utter incomp tense of our government. coming at this at a crisis mode for three weeks, everyone in america caring about those kids once way or another, and it looks like the congress is going to leave with nothing done. >> well, they're trying to talk about staying overnight and doing something tomorrow morning, but even that, chris, is absolutely nothing. this is insulting to the people of this country. insulting to people who are in washington because we thought we were here to solve problems. and i'm not a name caller, a bomb thrower, but i can tell you, i'm sick and tired of what's going on here in congress because there's nothing going on. and you know, there are people who it seems are coming, have come to washington for the sole purpose of disrupting the government. they are anti-government. and people out in the country are the ones who are going to have to stop this

we are very grateful to representative daniel cleaver of the last emanuel cleaver of kansas city and senators mccaskill and blunt of missouri, who have been our champions of this effort, along with congressman ted poe from texas, who was involved with a world war i memorial efforts for some years. they have carried the water with us. senator rockefeller has been of great assistance as well, as have others. bills were introduced in both houses on bipartisan basis. the house bill was passed as an amendment to the defense appropriation bill earlier this year. it has already been approved by the house. hearings have been held in the senate a couple of months ago. it is anticipated that the if the senate does not pass the appropriations bill, the memorial will move forward possibly as a stand-alone bill and get passed by this house. there is no significant opposition to the proposal. all of the major agencies are on board and have come out publicly in support of the proposal. i talked to your neighbor, oliver carr, a few weeks ago and they are very engaged as well. oliver carr owns the ho

one of my biggest problems with on with, and i've been , emanuel cleaver from missouri, and the reverend who was also in congress -- they were giving us their account of what was happening there. that theyo something didn't want the outside to exploit. they wanted to find justice. people were coming there, agitators, anarchists, that is not what is coming out of our community. piece --ke our own peace. as far as the police are concerned, to leave michael brown for four hours unattended so -- i just don't even understand that. i want to go to the border, and that is because i was late. concerninge phone the subject of ferguson. the president spoke today once again very beautifully on the subject. andhe subject of the border the dreamers, many of whom may , the last twoools bills we passed in the congress of the united states ignored the comprehensive immigration reform , butpassed in the senate instead, to very destructive pieces of legislation. we extended a hand of friendship to the speaker to say, let's find a path. we know it will be a compromise. instead, they went further to the rig

let's bring in emanuel cleaver, the congressman from missouri. a democrat.ou think, congressman, what should we be bracing for tonight? >> for nothing. i think the colonel said all of the right things. i think the governor did the right thing. i think the president spoke the right words today. i don't think there's going to be a problem tonight. as soon as you see the highway patrol beginning to interact with the peaceful protesters, you're going to see a de-escalation of the turmoil, the violence. when you disallow peaceful protests, you almost certainly will have provocative and rauncous protest because people will need to ex press themselves. i don't think we're going to have any violence tonight. i think you're going to see a crowd gather up there in contact with ministers and reverend willis johnson who is right there with us, a church not far from where you see the crowd gathering. and i think these folk are trying to use the situation to make the community better. now, there are some hoodlums who show up all over the world where there's an opportunity

joining us from kansas city, congressman e manual cleaver, a democrat from missouri.> good morning. >> gene, you write this in "the post." in ferguson a sense of being left behind, millions of african-americans took advantage of the opportunities created by the civil rights movement to climb into the middle class. yet millions of other black americans did not reach the middle class. ferguson and other such pockets across the nation, millions of young black men and women growing up knowing that the deck is stacked against them. did michael brown have a chip on his shoulder? not according to his friends and family. although the convenience store video suggests otherwise. would it be understandable if he did? might he have wondered if white kids living in nor affluent parts of the town routinely got harassed by police for jaywalking. brown had no police record and graduated from high school and about to enter a technical college. given where he came from it's hard to do a lot better and easy to do a whole lot worse. that about says it all in terms of the plight that the

emmanuel cleaver is calling on congress to revisit it it. do you think that will carry forward until congress is back in session? >> i have a feeling it does. the criminal sentencing or forward movement really is a hopeful movement because it does cross political lines. there is a very conservative group called white on crime that's been involved in criminal justice and the militarization of these forces was partly an accident. if we had some legitimate thingses we tried to do after 9/11, but now, i think a lot of people on both sides of politics say this has gone way too far. we don't need to militarize our forces to this degree, and i think that will one will stay around as an issue, and i hope it it does. >> eugene, not to be pollyannaish about this, but do you think we are getting and it's been such a difficult, traumatic week for this country, and i just wonder as we come out of this, and by no means is it over, michael brown has not been laid to rest, but when you look at where we are, do you feel like we're edging toward a more perfec

we are very grateful to representative daniel cleaver of kansas city and senators mccaskill and blunt of missouri, who have been our champions of this effort, along with congressman ted poe from texas, who was involved with a world war i memorial efforts for some years. senator rockefeller has been of great assistance as well, as have others. bills were introduced in both houses on bipartisan basis. the house bill was passed as an amendment to the defense appropriation bill earlier this year. it has already been approved by the house. senate cap and held the -- hearings have been held in the senate a couple of months ago. it is anticipated that the memorial bill will move forward possibly as a stand-alone bill sed by this house. all of the major agencies are on board and have come out publicly in support of the proposal. i talked to your neighbor, oliver carr, a few weeks ago and they are very engaged as well. oliver carr owns the hotel. the problem is, i guess, couple of months ago when i was testifying before a house panel on this, the chairman of that subcommittee said to another g

cleaver. >> thank you, mr. chairman. to the inspector general, there's been some problems obviously with the ex-im bank but has there been something so egregious, so monstrous, that congress should give the ex-im bank a certificate of discontinuation? >> obviously the decision as to whether not ex-im bank is still around is for congress to decide. all we've done since restored the office is to look at some of the issues that we were preparing on the ex-im bank operation either from law enforcement side. we didn't act on that site. we were here last to talk about risk management. we've done work on dealing with customers. we look at economic impact. we look at all those aspects of the bank that we thought needed to be addressed. and since then the bank has been working with us and addressing those and some recommendations still outstanding but there's some progress and even as the conversation to three years ago wasn't even on the table, we're having this conversation. so from our perspective, we focus on the operations o

he took a meat cleaver and he cut off his own little finger as a protest.and for years he used the image of his mutilated hand in his artwork. he had a whole series of portraits with his hand holding pictures of a younger more innocent self which he called myself. but now everything has changed. 25 years have passed and he has a child, 12-year-old boy. i asked him, what do you say to your son? what do you tell him about what happened to your finger? and he said well, sometimes i tell him that i left it on the bus. .. it lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. does that really matter anymore? and i would argue yes it does matter. it matters because history matters. in history matters so much to the communist party, the chinese government ayer willing to spend all this money and manpower would just want to find out what just happened to her farm. so it is not just at the top. the memory, which is the most personal space inside your own head, but it has become a political space and people have allowed that to happen. they've allowed themselves to

i saw this in business, too, there are only a few places where you can just as you can say take a cleavernd take off a big piece. the fat is marbled through the animal. universities tend to be decentralized. a lot of duplication. a lot of services aren't shared, doing a lot of things for themselves that maybe someone else can do less expensively. it's a step-by-step process. one way to do it we said, look, i said on arrival. let's try something different instead of asking our student's families to adjust their budgets to our spending, let's try to adjust our spending to their budgets for a while, wince we imposed that tuition freerksz people began looking for those efficiencies that were always there is to be found. >> i wonder if you think that this will happen at other universities as well. saw i you think the time has come yet the number of applicants for these schools hasn't dropped. they are allowed to turn people away while they continue prices, why do you think a change is coming? >> there are some with brands so big and endowments so big they can cruise along a. lot of predicting

one virginia political analyst describes the mcdonnell's as a beaver cleaver family but these new allegationsthat pitch that you referred to from maureen mcdonnell to ann romney how this wonder drug of sorts could potentially cure her multiple sclerosis has left a lot of people here in disbelief. a sorted tale involving a former governor behind the wheel of a fa ferrari and luxury vacations and secret cash loans. the governor's key witness wrapping up testimony. he showered bob mcdonnell and his wife maureen with gifts in exchange for their help promoting the tobacco based pill he invented and pitching as a wonder drug of sorts. along the latest details on the same day that mcdonnell endorse the romney for president and maureen approached ann romney saying the vitamin could help her sclerosis. one said i was horrified and thought it was a train wreck. williams insists his relationship with the mcdonnell was all business to help his company but maureen mcdonnell lawyers argue they were friends that the mcdonnell's marriage was crumbling and former washington redskins cheerleader had a crush on

appreciate the president's quick action on the 1033 program as you know earlier this week, congressman cleaver and myself met with secretary of defense hagel about the program, because i was so alarmed when i went to ferguson and walked with the demonstrators and saw this heavily armed police force, tactical unit point a sniper rifles at my constituents who were there exercising their constitutional rights and so that is what alarmed me and i applaud and appreciate the president's quick response to our concerns. >> you, congressman, are going to be speaking at the brown funeral tomorrow. are you concerned that the funeral might reignite the tensions there? >> i am not really concerned about the funeral reigniting the tensions. i guess what i am most concerned about, and i made a promise to michael brown's parents that i would do everything to bring all of the resources of the federal government to this investigation so that it is transparent, so that it is a viable investigation and we bet to the truth. now, i am more concerned that if we do not get to the truth and get to what actually happen
