he was on the ag committee in iowa.y, really important in part because of farmers suffering because of trump's tariffs. he only won by three percentage points. joann joannie earnst is now distancing himself from him. as an editorial board, we just didn't feel like he could be effective at this point. >> you mentioned the ag committee. he's got some important positions that he can't work on. finally, he didn't answer any reporter questions. there's this video of him yesterday walking down the hall and every reporter is asking for a comment and he doesn't say a word. i mean, i i just wonder if you think that is a man who's actually going to resign from congress. you think he actually will despite these growing calls? >> i can't predict what he will do. if i try to predict, i'll probably be wrong. >> you've covered him for 25 years. what do you think? >> my gut feeling is that he won't resign. i wonder -- one graceful way for him to exit would be for trump to give him a job in his administration and he might actually like

call them the cardinals the thirteen cardinals there is actually a very powerful staffer in the ag committee he caught was. the fourteenth cardinal because he was so powerful and have been there for so long but these cardinals actually they're the ones that have the final decision they usually work with the ranking minority member whether it's republican or democrat and i remember one time we went in on a very needed road which would had many dangerous can curves and killed six people including students on their way to my alma mater purdue university in indiana but the chairman said to my boss who is asking for a couple million dollars when she said i will like to explain things a little more he said well long as you understand congresswoman the amount of time you speak is inversely proportional to the amount of money you get coaching we shut up we went forward well now you're being is the street you cover private sector markets and uncle sam's check sure don't bounce talk about how corporate vendors game the system well there's it used to be you could actually put a company into a one of th

looking around, this aging committee in terms of seniority may have the youngest number of senators. we have a number of former prosecutors that are on this committee so i have been especially interested in listening to the federal state partnership, they have state prosecutors, federal prosecutors, and i think all of us have found that that has been a tremendous advantage in our respective offices. i would like to talk a little bit and officer simeoni, you mentioned more help from the federal government, attorney general schmidt, you mentioned the collaborative effort with hhs. and you and i might want to do some comparative dna based on conversations about your mother and hanging up. we maybe long-lost siblings. i get that. i understand and i have witnessed that firsthand. could you initially talk about your federal state partnership and how you think that can be improved and what we can do from here. and, maybe officer simeoni on this or kozlowski on this, if you have any suggestions on what congress could do, because those partnerships are incredibly informative. most of these cas

i would like to go to someone else on the ag committee and we are from rural america and what is your thinking. you are from washington state and the importance of securing r border, representative nousefrur washington. -- newhouse-t mr. newhouse: this will make important points. and so tharning you for yielding me some time. i wanted to relay a couple of instances. i had the opportunity to tour the same southern border area president trump toured last week. he was briefed by some of the same officials i was including the acting chief patrol agent, raul ortiz, of the rio grande valley sector. very interesting conversation. chief ortiz said so far in 2019, his sector has apprehended people from 41 countries around the world. on a single day, chief ortiz's sector apprehended 133 people from countries other than mexico or countries in central america. madam speaker, we absolutely have a crisis at the border. it's a humanitarian crisis. even president obama said as much back in 2014. president trump now is rightly citing the growing numbers of families and unaccompanied minors crossing th

mcgovern: i want to ensure the gentleman from texas, the now-ranking member of the ag committee. this measure wasn't tucked away, we did a press release on it. we want everyone to know we're going to hold the administration accountable if they go against what the congress passed in the farm bill. the congress didn't pass what the gentleman said. my friend from texas said in an interview last year the secretary of agriculture doesn't have the authority to fix paires, maybe he's changed his mind. if the secretary is watching, i want to be clear. if in fact he or this administration go after poor people if they try to take away their food, if they try to undercut their food security, we are coming after them. we are going to hold them accountable. the days of turning a blind eye to attacks on poor people are over. plain and simple. and so this is not a provision that was tucked away, it was not a provision that was hidden. we did a press release on it. i want everybody to know about it. with that, i reserve my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves.

and he's not on the ag committee any more, he's not on judiciary, not on small business so really of what good is he, i think was their reasoning. i would say from our reasons he should be gone. his rhetoric knows no limit and he really means it. he may try to say that he was misquoted or mischaracterized. that is not true. he has had a consistent career of saying these kinds of things and meaning them and he's absolutely fascinated by nazis, neo-nazi groups, white supremacists. when president obama was elected he made the statement that muslim terrorists would be dancing in the streets around the world. he used to accuse the president of skewing towards the black person in favor of the black person. when he was even in the state senate, he wanted to propose legislation or he did propose it, it didn't go anywhere thankfully, that would have taught all public school students in the state that america was the undeclared -- excuse me, undisputed greatest nation in the world and nobody could disagree with that. >> here's the issue. >> i'm sorry? >> the majority of what we're hearing, non

regretted making the changes but says she was advised to add more light-skinned people by age-friendly novato committee member gloria dunn-violin. >> reporter: it breaks my heart. >> reporter: a statement says in part "age-friendly novato deeply regrets this misunderstanding and actions to alter the mural." she says she just asked to add a few white people, not to alter skin tone. that she called horrible. she says the mural is about reflecting novato for everyone. now, the students tell me in they made their own five-point plan for healing. as for dunn-veolin, she says they hope to meet with the students and make sure that they feel safe and respected and valued, and she hopes that the mural can be completed so that everyone feels respected. reporting live in novato, christie smith, "nbc bay area news." >> christie, thank you. >>> a dramatic and tragic turn of events forced a flight to make an emergency landing at sfo. the hawaiian airlines flight was headed from honolulu to new york when a flight attendant suffered a heart attack. he was later pronounced dead. the attendant's name is emile griffith w

as a proud member of the senate ag committee, i had the privilege of working on this legislation in securing key provisions for nebraskans. among these were measures that protected crop insurance, streamlined trade promotion programs, bolstered opportunities for producers to use precision ag technology, and unleashed broadband deployment throughout rural america. because of this bill, folks in agriculture were feeling more confident about planning for the future. now we find ourselves in the middle of a partial government shutdown and there is some anxiety in farm country as funding to the united states department of agriculture has lapsed. in that regard, i want to provide some important updates to producers who are concerned. the year round sale of v15 is critical and it's a critical issue for nebraska's farmers. renewable fuel producers and our rural communities. our state has 25 ethanol plants that employ more than 1,300 hardworking nebraskans with high-paying jobs which are mostly located in rural communities. but for far too long, an outdated regulation that banned the sale of v15 duri

something that we will be looking at, especially for his removal from the house g committee -- house ag committee. we are hoping to look at and talk to some of the fourth district voters who, a lot of times have very strong political opinions and goals in committees that king was on or with other things that might look different now after these recent events. we are hoping to follow up on that and hear from his constituency about what this means. host: you can see the work of our guest, robin opsahl of the des moines register especially as you talk to these representatives. you can go to the website. thank you for your time this morning. guest: thank you. host: this is edward in virginia, independent line. caller: hello. how are you doing? host: fine, thanks. caller: my comment. i approve of them removing him from the committee because i think it is time lawmakers start doing things right and stop supporting racist groups. host: democrats line, michael from villa park, illinois. you are on. caller: i would just like to say a couple of lines ago a guy said naacp doesn't -- respond. they don't have

i worked on the ag committee with him and got me to show this place can work, got an agricultural billlean and good for food stamps and family farmers. we can do things when we have our minds set. when we have a president so dug in, a bigot, does all of this, makes it so much harder. i'm open to what collin might propose. >> what do you think can be done if anything about restoring unions diminished so badly the past 20, 25 years, a key part of the economy. can anything be done to bring back union strength? >> sure. we missed by one vote seven or eight years ago employee free choice act that would have made a difference for organizing unions. we now have a supreme court that puts its thumb on the scales of justice for corporation over workers and wall street over consumers. one of the ways to do that, i talked to the president and said he liked it. the next day, the staff said he didn't, called american jobs act, and the new tax law says if you shut down production in youngstown, ohio and move to mexico you go from 21% tax break up. and close that loophole and it provides a rebate at t

plans to announce that he plans to step down once the ag is confirmed is going to really raise the stakes for the hearing in the judiciary committeenomination of william barr to be ag. as you as you've also reported, william barr was sending freelance memos to the trump administration making a case to undercut the mueller investigation. so the deep concern will be if he comes in and rosenstein is gone, is this just a, you know, preface to either undercutting the investigation or trying to keep the results of it hidden from the american public. >> let's talk about that. obviously rod rosenstein is invested. obviously you are pleased, many democrats are pleased with how he has handled it so far. so he knows all of that. so does the fact that he is ready to leave mean that he thinks that bill barr can, you know, successfully oversee this? >> hard to say. i have a real hard time interpreting the news that you've just broken in terms of what it means. but what i do know is this with certainty. the stakes of the judiciary committee hearing and in particular the inquiries to the nominee about what he will do with this investigation, will

don't know yet is what committee assignments is mitt romney going to have because that's a very important forum for disagreement with a president, and we've seen it through the ages within the party, that's really the -- the senate foreign relations committee, for example, is the forum where the opposition party to the war began. he ended up running against the democratic president, linden johnson who was waging the vietnam war. and those committees are the places where we often see the most important criticism of a president. >> you're right. and we're talking about a particular president who has a lot of acting secretaries and acting people in positions that are going to need senate confirmation. and so depending on which committees soon to be senator romney sits on, we will get to see those moments where he is questioning the nominee, where he is putting them through their paces to see if they are qualified to be in the positions that they're in. that will be one -- that will be one test to see how mitt romney, senator romney challenges president trump. but then the next hurdle is going to be how does he vote in the end on the floor? and my hunch is and maybe

national security to me, i serve on the foreign affairs committee, and maybe despite my age, i'm oldill think when it comes to issues outside of the shores of america, we have to show a united front. now that means you can still disagree, of course, and there those disagreements. things like cnn are worldwide platforms and people will see them, but to disagree within your national security establishment, i think that's something that needs to stay off twitter. it's one thing if he wants to tweet that we're making progress with kim jong-un, for instance, but it's another thing to say, you know, i have a problem with my intelligence folks are giving me and they don't know, i know. >> yeah. congressman, thank you for your time. >> you bet. take care. >>> up next, howard schultz is getting a lot of push-back after saying he's seriously considering a run for the white house. i'll talk to him about it next. ♪[upbeat music] ♪now i'm gonna tell my momma ♪that i'm a traveller transitions™ light under control™ transitions™ presents four new colors style colors by transitions™ transitions™ pres
