i believe chairman shelby believes that as well so we will take a look at it and see. [inaudible. >> i do not have any plans for legalization of marijuana. it may be good to point out again these are two entirely separate plans and i hope everybody now understands that. four years ago in the farm bill when i put in there the ability to have pilot projects there was a lot of confusion about what hemp is. it is a different plan. it has an illicit cousin. [laughter] which i choose not to embrace but hemp is an incredibly diversified crop. it could end up in your food. it could end up in your medicine or end up in your car. i think we are going to find the vast majority of senators think it's time to move on and to allow farmers across america who are excited about this possibility to grow the crop legally. >> are the ads that blankenship is running or these as racist? >> we are going to find out what happened in west virginia tonight and i may have more to say about that tomorrow. we will wait and see and will have more to say about it tomorrow. thanks a lot.

it was fun to watch him work on that. >> shelby?y that i've been speaking to some of the witnesses and possible potential witnesses, and everybody has this fear of mueller, not just because he has a president who sits against the wall and licenses, but for the fact we just talked about, he knows everything, he's very organized, he's very efficient, we have learned his team goes through questions with a purpose, no one is just kind of chatting or kicking the can. >> they're not just chilling. >> they have a mission in there. >> they're not just hanging out? >> they're not hanging out and they're aggressively pursuing collusion, not just obstruction. >> check out something that began to get reported on the beat, because we had sam nunberg on, but long before stormy daniels became a case in new york, we learned that mueller was asking some of these questions. did mueller's folks ask anything that related to these issues around payments to people or women? >> they asked if i ever heard anything like this and i haven't. >> they were aski

so that they can bring down the iron ore from shelby in middle alabama and make the weapons and then ship them out. to mississippi and georgia of course. i think about 400 young men from the surrounding dallas county went off to join those rates. and whoever else they thought they were fighting for. the battle came up about by orders from richard taylor who was the commanding officer commanding what was left of the southern army. the arsenal was here and he didn't want from shipping from neighboring counties. it was very valuable. white gold. taylor gave orders and that i must not be allowed to fall. this is when he set fire to it. and he ordered them to help the defense. i knew the situation. he knew he didn't have the men. they were around the city. and it have enough men to station the thing every 5 feet apart. it probably could have taken off the army for a particular time. most of them are far from home in north carolina and fact. so they ordered everyone from petticoat or to the barricades. the first to waive of the union troops was repelled but not the third. they compared it

it's no secret that senator shelby and i have spent a lot of time talking about this. we want to bring it back. . he as chair and myself as committee chair. i think it would make the country better. secretary, we had expressed our concern to you last year when the president proposed to eliminate or reduce critical programs on the fyt budget. you reportedly said your own self-you were not happy about the budget proposed by the white house which had a 12% over all cut to the interior department. but now you're in charge. if you weren't happy with the 12% cut, you've requested a 19% cut. you cut some of the same core environmental protection. conservation, land management, tribal programs, the administration tried and failed to pass the cuts last year. protect wildlife and manage our cherished public lands. the commitment to our public lands has always been a bipartisan one. it goes back to the days of teddy roosevelt. but not only would you starve the department of those need

. >> we have shelby holiday, david butler and david corn by phone.imself as an interesting person. >> i don't think anyone is denying that. very interesting person. >> but it is clearly notable that his associates are being hit while he is not. >> yes. and he hasn't heard a word from mueller or mueller's team. i talked to his lawyer today. you know, it's a little concerning for people around roger stone when they hear that. it suggests that he might be a subject or even a target. but what's so interesting about these recent subpoenas is, yes, they have to do with social media. for a long time we've talked about roger stone's tweets but they also have to do with his pac. one of these guys was his accountant. so mueller may be looking into financial information. i was just speaking to sam nunberg and sam says it may not just be about the assange comments or wikileaks, this could be a lot deeper than people realized. that's certainly something that stone would be concerned about. >> right. and that, paul butler, goes to the cohen investigation. nobody k

one of my colleagues spoke to richard shelby as the new chair of senate appropriations committee yesterday and he says he's concerned about cuts to the appellation in the white house had $45 billion of cuts to that program and that's a pretty sizable amount and he says his instate of alabama has benefited from that over the years. he's not sure if he is ready to let that go so he will see if the bill is changing at all before it heads to the senate and meanwhile in-house ronnie the chairman of hausa provisions committee their he has told reporters that reporters -- he's not been a robust supporter of the idea and that said it definitely could be something he supports because it does not target mostly on the bus. he told the reporters the best he's not willing to support a package that would seem to be going back on a deal with democrats. that passage is one of the goes after that $1.3 trillion been a bill that is likely to be the next package of cuts that we see in the next couple weeks. >> sarah ferris, thank you for that explanation. >> sure thing. >> on c-span's newsmakers program this

as a matter of fact shelby is m one of amtrak's crew bases. i'm concerned about the impacts these decisions might have on amtrak in haber or shelby. what specifically can amtrak do to continue to meet the needs of rural montanans in these kmup communities and in many cases the elderly who are on fixed incomes, who do not have reliable internet access or the understanding of technology necessary to obtain electronic tickets? >> thank you, senator. i understand your concern about these two stations, you're correct that we did -- we have prioritized removing staff from stations which have less than 40 daily on-offs at each station, each one of those station positions cost roughly $100,000, so it's a significant expense. and our aim is to improve as congress has directed us, improve the economic performance of the national network, obviously focusing on keeping our service and serving the communities. >> so was 40 kind of the line that you drew then? >> we did, we did. and we're continuing to look -- >> are there any other stations on the amtrak n

senator shelby has seen it. i have seen it. again, the administrationadmini proposed to eliminate the housing capital funds that prepares these -- is public housing, it is aging. in alabama we have $50 million that usually comes in. and those funds are also desperately needed. how are you going to make up that difference to address the very needs that you yourself talked about a few minutes ago in your answer to senator shelby? >> one of the things that i've noticed is that we are not building a lot of public housing anymore. there's a good reason for that. generally, tends to fall into disrepair. simply because there isn't the local interest. i converting these two public- private partnership opportunities, through things like the rad program which has been extremely successful, 88,000 units have already been -- we have a waiting list of 86,000. those things have been working very, very effectively, that coupled with money that will be brought into the opportunity zones. i think will take care of a lots of issues. we are looki

thank you, chairman. >> thank you, chairman shelby. and thank you all for your service. we're really lucky, i think, to have you. i agree with senator durbin's earlier comments on iran and withdrawing from the iran agreement. this is a big mistake. it splits us from our allies and puts us on a path to war with iran. mr. secretary, i really appreciate your advocacy and outspokenness on this issue. we understand the president has made his decision and is going to withdraw and reimpose sanctions. if iran were to restart its nuclear weapons program, do you believe the president can order a unilateral attack to stop that program? and if so, under what authority? >> senator, i'd prefer not to talk about a hypothetical case like that. i think this is an issue that we've seen discussed here on the hill. certainly we've looked at the aumf authority and another venue. we've looked at the war powers act, a previous generation ago effort to come to grips with this issue. say right now, everything that we are doing and you can see it with korea, you can see with how long it took for

shelby, what do you think?one thing as journalist we try to do is take piece of evidence and see what it means but it's very clear as you report on this story there's likely a lot more evidence we haven't seen. for example, these emails. we covered the story about roger stone telling sam nunberg he dined with julian assange. it indicated -- then a few weeks later we reported this story that roger stone was seeking damaging information about hillary clinton through his alleged back channel, so one had seen that. it's very possible that there are a lot more emails. there could be a lot more contact. one thing that's very clear, though. if you look at some of the people subpoenaed surrounding roger stone and questioned including ted malloch, the questioning revolves around and seems centered on this line of questioning around wikileaks, which could be at the center of any sort of conspiracy if there was one, because roger stone seems to predict and know a lot about what wikileaks would release. >> could be -- coul
