because the government scientists like john wesley powell had basically told them, look, this is better for grazing than it is for farming and you actually need a lot more of it to be successful. you need a lot more than the traditional 160 acres that the homestead act provided to make a go of it. but they did not pay any heed to that. >> so what was their motive in that, do you think? >> i believe the motive was to help the railroad companies pursue their profits. >> oh really? okay. so what about pa, though? i mean, we love pa, right? >> we do. >> because he loves laura. laura loves him. you know, we saw him on tv. but he sounds like he wasn't a very good, you know, provider. >> and laura knew that. you know, she admitted as much in a letter that she wrote to rose. she said something like, you know, pa was no farmer, he was no businessman, he was a poet and a musician. and i think she loved him for those qualities that were not that practical. she loved his charm and his -- he was very affectionate and loving father and he was, i think, a kind of very talented musician. i think his fi

it wasn't john bolton, it was hr mcmaster, dina powell, rex tillerson.hat stops him from subpoenaing those witnesses? did anyone hear putin say these things to him? did anyone hear him say it was ukraine? because it seems that his disbelief in the u.s. intelligence product is an ongoing threat to this country. >> well, nothing should stop them. and that's why i've said that i know that impeachment moves the process in one direction for the president of the united states, but the job of the united states congress and particularly the intelligence committee is to continue the work because -- i think as nick said, this really is ongoing. it's not as though we had an investigation. there was an election and it stopped. we are in the middle of a 2020 election, and that interference continues. and it continues vis-a-vis putin to donald trump to the american public. and i think that it's incumbent on legislators to look at this and to say this is not about the 2016 election, this is about what is happening right now in this election, and we run the risk that pu
