i am well aware of how critical trade is for american agriculture. i will do everything i can to make sure regardless of what trade agreements we have, american farmers get a good shot at new markets and new opportunities. i think we will have some ways of doing that. in my longer description of these policies you can see more about what i mean. how are you, joe? i have not seen you for a while. reporter: [inaudible] mrs. clinton: let me start by saying vice president biden is a friend of mine. we were colleagues in the senate. i worked with him as first lady. i worked with him in president obama's first term. i have a great deal of admiration and affection for him. i think he has to make what is a very difficult decision for himself and his family. he should have the space and the opportunity to decide what he wants to do. i'm going to be running for president regardless, and continuing to put forth my policies. i was proud to be a member of president obama's cabinet. i also have ideas where i want to go not just build on what was done but go beyond.

americans, and agriculture in particular can play a critical role in moving us to a clean energy future. the next generation of biofuels and the good things you are doing with wind and other energy. between hillary clinton on your right and bernie sanders on your left you seem to be getting squeezed out. -- i see a opening lane opening. the great thing about iowa is people are not intimidated by big money taking over elections for they want to meet us and they come out and engage in a serious conversation. they are looking for new leadership and an ability to get things done. i have accomplished progressive things. you're going to see us to gain support. 60 days ago we were at 1%. after 30 days we went to three. we are just going to keep going. that is how you emerge. thate there any distinguish yourself between the major candidates? >> most of them have been received as the most detailed plans of any contenders in our party. criminal justice reform. there is no candidate in our party that has stood center of that between law enforcement and violent crime and racial disparities as i hav

we can improve the health of american agriculture. >> mr. gephardt? mr. gephardt: everyone agrees with you improve the farm credit system and find new uses for agricultural products. these are easy things to agree on. the acid test of a farm policy in 1988 comes on two points. first, are you for doing something to get a better price farmers? there is no substitute for getting farmers a fair price for their products. in 1948 when the farm program was in trouble, harry truman putting control supply management to get the price up. in 1960, john kennedy did the same thing. any farm program that does not deal with that is not a farm program that will allow farmers the right that everybody in this country wants to be able to get a fair price for their product. the last thing i want to say is that a lot of people say that gephardt family farm act is a mandatory program. something. you the program we have got now is as mandatory as any program can possibly be. if a farmer is not in the program, they do not get the government checks. in iowa will get more money fro

i think the myth of free trade is one of those, because if we look at the american economy, agriculture not much value added. tehe second is scrap. we have got from one of the nation's largest debtor nation. our latest top-of-the-line fighter, 70% of the electronics are made in southeast asia. do you see any problems with that tree? is it hunky-dory? >> let me start with a basic tale that will explain the economic side as well as the free trade side. today we are negotiating the transpacific partnership. one of the leading proponents of that is ford motor company. they are doing that because there is a 25% tarrif on pickup trucks. if you look at entrepreneurs in this country we have a sort of lazy notion that that takes place in silicon valley, austin, texas, maybe minneapolis. you tend to forget that most time entrepreneurism is starting a business that is something like landscaping. the first and largest capital purchase is a pickup truck. think about what this means in terms of trying to develop new jobs. we are imposing a 25% tax before anyone has even made a dollar. the first thing

american bankers association, the american financial services association the american insurance association, agricultural retailers, airlines for america alliance of automobile manufacturers, american cable association, chemistry council fuel and petrochemical manufacturers, gaming association, gas association insurance association petroleum institute, public power association, water with association, -- water works association, association of railroads, metropolitan rail agencies the clear house consumer banking association credit union electronic transfers association financial services independent community bankers, investment company -- and it goes on and on and on. i will point out oracle the national association of manufacturers association supports it, i.b.m., as i said, general motors and the united states telecommunications association. i would ask this list be entered into the record, if i may mr. president. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. feinstein: thank you very much. so i want to say something about jurisdiction of committees. the homeland security committee certainly is free

transpacific partnership, the ptt, which hopes to establish trade, including export of american automobiles and agricultural products to japan, so tpp is in part an effort to address these issues, but it is not just globalization. it is also optimization that will keep a lot of these jobs from coming back because when the product, the american high-quality products, you describe, where being manufactured and though by individual american assembly lines that were staffed by -- being built by robots. a lot of these jobs are not coming back because of not just china but automation. this poses problems not only for the united states but other nations as well. host: we welcome our guests on c-span radio as well. we are talking about china relations. this is an interesting question on our twitter page. to americans own land in china? does the chinese government allow americans to buy land in its borders? guest: the answer is, no. only the chinese government can own land. we can lease land like chinese, but even individual chinese cannot homeland and that is because of the feeling that china feels it was exploded

if you look at the american economy, agriculture and second is scrap.our latest 70% of electronics are made in east asia. do we see any problem with that particular tree in the forest? >> let me start with a basic tale which i've explained the economic side as well as the freedom side, free trade. today we're negotiating and one leader is ford motor company. if you look entrepreneurs in this country we have a lazy notion that it takes in silicon valley, down in austin, we tend to forget that they start a business as landscaping. the first capital purchase is a pickup truck. 25% tax before anyone has earned their first dollar on creating that enterprise. that's what ford motor is asking to maintain. so when i look at the tpp, even accepting what she said, the first time i think is why is that subject to a 25% tax because ford motor company sees in its industry to maintain that protection. why is that choice limited for that individual? now at the same time you have to be conscious of what is really going on in the world. for example, as a free-trader whe

i think the myth of free trade is one of those, because if we look at the american economy, agriculture not much value added. we have got from one of the nation's largest debtor nation's -- our latest top-of-the-line fighter, 70% of the electronics are made in southeast asia. do you see any problems with that tree? is a hunky-dory? a basice start with tale that will explain the economic side as well as the free trade side. today we are negotiating the transpacific partnership. one of the leading proponents of that is ford motor company. they are doing that because there is a 25% harris on pickup trucks. if you look at entrepreneurs in this country we have a sort of lazy noted -- notion that that takes place in silicon valley, texas, maybe minneapolis. you tend to forget that most time entrepreneurism is starting a business that is something like landscaping. the first and largest capital purchase is a pickup truck. think about what this means in the term -- in terms of trying to develop new jobs. a 25% tax before anyone has even made a dollar. why is that hispanic worker trying to go to

me, and i believe there are so many products you can come from traditional agriculture that can improve the lives of americans, and i keep pushing our people to think about that, to use universities to do the research, to make sure that agriculture and businesses closely linked together so that we can spawn new industries out of agriculture. we're lucky in ohio. we found natural gas. one of the great things about that as it is allowing us to become energy independent so we do not have to kowtow to the saudi's anymore when it comes to conducting our foreign policy. you can clap for that because it is a good and. industries and ask what are the new industries. what can come from it? 9/11 -- i'm giving you a long answer. is it ok if i give you a long answer? invited to theas pentagon with former secretaries of defense to talk about the threat against us, and i began to realize that people who lived in caves in some ways had a technology advantage over us, and i suggested to donald rumsfeld that maybe we get some of the best minds in the country to come in. two of the people showed up and called me back and said

i do not see a lot of americans lining up to do agricultural restaurant industry. w skill workers, i think we should have a labor certification process. if companies cannot find american workers, then they should bring foreign workers. but i agree with you they should hire those workers. at the low end, americans are just not lining up. withe higher level, those advanced degrees, the reality people can college tell you come we are not graduating enough americans with advanced degrees. we need to bring those people, we have degrees from china and india. we do not bring them in an hour middle-class will hurt. thank you for your call. i am so tired of hearing donald trump talk about immigrants. they were good enough to build his golf course and his casinos. now he comes out with this them.dish talk against americans will not do the job here they want $15 an hour to say, "do you want that meal supersized?" i know of a lot of immigrants door jobsere that are americans will not do because they want everything for nothing. the more they get the, -- get, the more they want.

there's a reality out there, and if an american wants to get an agriculture job, he or she can, but i will tell you, i have been in arizona, and i have been in california, and they are not lining up. and it's not that -- there are no americans of working age to do those very tough jobs. and employers have a responsibility to hire them over a foreign worker if they line up, but they are just not lining up. so i think that we have to understand that, and again, immigrations, they are not taking jobs away from americans or suppressing wages. they help create jobs for americans. and this is very important. if you are in a restaurant, for example, and you don't have people working in the kitchens, bussing tables, you won't be able to create the waiter jobs for college students, the management jobs for americans, or other -- or keep other small businesses related to the restaurant industry growing and expanded industries owned by americans. i understand the pain of a lot of people who are not getting good-paying full-time jobs, but i think it's easy to blame immigrants when they are not res

american countries and even china. the main reason: puerto rico's agricultural sector is dismal, representing less than 1% of the island's gross domestic product. >> reporter: carlos reyes- albino, one of the co-owners of the restaurant, says the island's dependence on imports makes it dangerously vulnerable to any unforeseen event threatening its food supply. >> reporter: in fact, puerto rico's agriculture secretary warns the territory only has a one-month food supply on hand. so the government has implemented a plan to re-develop the island's agricultural sector, providing farmers with subsidies and new equipment. already, in the last two years, puerto rico has seen a 25% increase in agriculture revenues and 6,500 new jobs. the restaurant el departamento de la comida is also trying to engage more local farmers. >> there's a lot of variety here there's anon, there's grapefruit. >> reporter: farmer daniel cadenas has been providing the restaurant with organic produce for two years. >> i think it's really positive what they're doing, because they're helping promote what is the agriculture in puerto rico. >> reporter: cade

it was a combination of ears of corn and golden rod, which she felt represented american plants, the agriculturallants and corn and wildflowers and the golden rod. so there was dinner plates and soup plates and breakfast plates made in the blue, and there were also breakfast plates and tea plates made with the white border, and then a series of demitasse cups and saucers. so there weren't all the other shapes that you might have in a state service of bowls and cream soup cups and various and sundry things that went with it. susan swain: so we credit her today with establishing this very popular spot in the white house. william seale: yes, and, of course, table service all through the years is extremely important to the white house with the state dinners, that is, the official dinners that are paid for by the state department, planned by the family, more or less. but, you know, eight wines were served normally at dinner -- it would be reduced to three under theodore roosevelt -- and poured generously, but there was a lot of wine. and men guests would sometimes have scotch instead of wine. and then

would stop broadcasting propaganda across their mutual board of the monsanto, the american company that provides agriculturalroducts for commerce, has increased its takeover offer for syngenta. caroline has more details of this bloomberg report around the latest offer. caroline: according to people familiar, we are going to get an upped bid as soon as today. here are the numbers you need to know -- we understand it could be as big as $47 billion. that is 15% higher than's syngenta's than current market cap. the overall price tag is 5% higher than monsanto had previously been offering. this deal has been going throughout the year. it was back in may that they were initially refuted by syngenta, feeling that the deal was not quite big enough. there are some other changes to the deal. the breakup fee has been raised to $3 billion and also, more cash. it used to be 45% cash. now the cash portion could be up. we are looking at what is driving this deal and why monsanto is willing to pay up, looking to pay the premium. it is about becoming the biggest player in the market, the largest global producer of crop chemi

americans gave their lives. so the section on agricultural development and reform is 50 pages long out of this 150-page book. to tell you how massive the achievement in that field is, you have to read this book. >> thank you very much. i'm going to take the privilege of asking the last question, because i know all of you live here in louisville. so if you could say here in one or two sentences, please, we're running out of time, how you came to louisville, leaving vietnam as refugees and escaping camps or otherwise making your way out of vietnam. then afterwards, i would like to invite all of you to ask further questions outside at the reception, where there's chance for conversation and also for the chance at the exhibit, to learn more about the conflict and those memories. first, how did you come to louisville? >> me? >> any. >> i was lucky because when i came here -- when i came to the united states, one of my classmate classmate classmates offered me a job. i came here to work for him for ten years. after that, i split off. then practice veterinarian medicine on my own. then 25 years ago, i started to tr

are better or worse but just focus on millions of americans out there and what can we do to address those? looking at the economy economy, agriculture and education. one of the things i talk about is a career track that 70 percent of americans don't have college degrees so water be doing to provide those necessary skills in high school as well as after to provide the skills necessary for people to work with their hands? >> host: how did this happen? what happened to working-class or ruler a cut? something has changed. what is it? >> obviously the economy has changed with globalization and open markets with competition neck comes from overseas. in there is a legitimate argument when they have that competition in june drive their own prices it is a good thing so globalization is a positive but also it could be a negative if you're losing your job as a result of the competition. i make the argument i am not against globalization i and a standard global economy but we have to be understanding of the impact case by case of a free trade agreements to the american worker. i've felt for free trade but i don't vote for nafta a because of tha

i we look at the american economy, the biggest export item is agriculture, and the second is scrap. we have gone from the world's largest creditor nation to the largest debtor nation. our s5, latest top line fighter, 70% of the electronics are made in east asia do you see any problem with that particular tree in the for rest? >> -- forest? >> lead me explain. today we are negotiating a transpacific partnership. one leading opponent is ford motor company. that are dying because there's 25% tariff on pickup trucks. if you look at entrepreneurs is in this country we have this lazy notion that it take place in silicon valley in austin, maybe minneapolis. we tend to forget that most entrepreneurialism is starting a business that is something like landscaping, and that the first and largest capital purchase is a pickup truck. think what this means in the context of entrepreneurialism and trying to develop new jobs. imposing a 25% tax before anyone earned their first dollar on creating the enterprise elm pallets what ford motor company is asking to maintain. so when looked at the tpp, even

agriculture. >> all week we're looking at america's aging infrastructure with the american society of civil engineers recently graded a d plus. the energy grid is no different. as new plants are built, updated transmission lines are needed to carry all of that voltage. one company is making a big investment to get the power where it needs to go. >> reporter: ad perfop operates than 40,000 miles of transmission line. they carry electricity from power plants to substations where it is then delivered to your home. the lines are big and building them is difficult, dangerous and expensive. the problem is half the nation's transmission lines are more than 40 years old and some were built more than a hundred years ago. adp is replacing the lines in the northeast and midwest. you basically want to make sure the system is as efficient as possible. sometimes a new line and sometimes rebuilding an existing line. it's not a one size fits all approach. >> reporter: magnifying the need for grade upgrade is the new emission standard set by the epa. coal-fired plants are being shut. that powers millions of homes. th

transpacific partnership, the ptt, which hopes to establish trade, including export of american automobiles and agriculturalcts to japan, so tpp is in part an effort to address these issues, but it is not just globalization. it is also optimization that will keep a lot of these jobs from coming back because when the product, the american high-quality products, you describe, where being manufactured and though by individual american assembly lines that were staffed by -- being built by robots. a lot of these jobs are not coming back because of not just china but automation. this poses problems not only for the united states but other nations as well. host: we welcome our guests on c-span radio as well. we are talking about china relations. this is an interesting question on our twitter page. to americans own land in china? does the chinese government allow americans to buy land in its borders? guest: the answer is, no. only the chinese government can own land. we can lease land like chinese, but even individual chinese cannot homeland and that is because of the feeling that china feels it was exploded and en

it has highly agricultural base where we are largely an urban and suburban country. >> iowa's concerns represents concerns of normal americanso i do with all this corn. i'm bored. where can i deep fry this. oh my god, i'm having cheses pains. >> most americans don't wake up in the morning and worry about whether or not they're going to deep fry corn. >> stop you right there. i am a half mexican man. from an urban area. and that's all i'm [bleep] thinking about, so you're wrong. >> it's iowans down home know-how that makes them the right choice. >> let me tell you something about the people in iowa. they have homespun wisdom, small town values. >> to say they have a monopoly on the wisdom or monopoly on small town values is to disregard the other 300 million people in the united states. >> what? i have had enough of your iowa bashing for one day. i'm going to iowa right now. >> oh-- all the corn? >> iowa, there isn't a group of people in america more qualified to pick the next leader of the free world than iowans. just ask iowan stefan schmitt. >> it's an honor. it's a job. it's kind of a responsibility to be first in selecti

california's drought may seem a distant problem for many americans, but its impact is felt across the country. >> agriculture is a nearly $50 billion industry in california. the state is a top grower of many of our favorite fruits and vegetables as well as producer of dairy products. this means in one way or another, all of us who live in this country are consuming california's water. you can't get away from it. what do you mean? do you like ice cream nuts on the top of your ice cream? people like these things. that's only a fraction of a whole walnut. one walnut requires two gallons of water in order to grow. what about fresh fruit? everybody loves california fresh fruit. single mandarin, 42 gallons before this is ripe to pick. what about tomorrow morning getting up, going to have breakfast, cook an egg 18 gallons of water necessary for this one egg. were you to wash all of this down with a single glass of milk like this one here, the cow that is produce this milk would take on 36 gallons of water. we've got two gallons of water here. we couldn't fit 36 gallons into the studio. california said on going drou

joe leonard joined with many of us in the concern for getting more african-american students going into the business of agriculture and agriculture business. we are very, very much on board with that. i want you to also tell him how much we appreciate him providing that leadership to -- to help us to get funds to be able to help these students to be able to go into careers in agribusiness, one of the things we hope we can do is tweak language in the farm bill that will allow these 1890s to be able to add the area of student scholarships and loan forgiveness. as much as we did for our veterinarians, as you remember we sponsored legislation, got that passed and saw a shortage with veterinarians and actually did and helped them with loan forgive forgiveness. i wanted to make you aware for that as we move forward on that initiative to help the african-american students as well. >> thank you, sir. >> mr. chairman, five seconds. >> just congressman, there are 500 -- i believe 550 scholars working at usda from the 1890 universities dwetgetting scholarship help and assistance so we're going to continue to work to make sur

service organizations. 19 million american women filled out the home front labor force not only as rosie the riveters and factory jobs, but in transportation, agricultural and office work of every variety. women joined the federal government in massive numbers during world war ii. nearly one million government girls were recruited. in addition, women volunteered in the war effort by planting victory gardens, canning selling war bombs, donating blood, salvaging needed commodities and sending care packages. the skills women had acquired proved to be very useful in helping acquire new skill sets toward the war effort, since men that usually did the job were out at war. for example, the popular phenomenon of rosie the riveter made visiting one of the most widely known jobs. experts speculate women were so successful at visiting -- riveting because it's so closely resembled sewing, assembling and seeming together a garment. however, riveting was only one of many jobs that women were learning and mastering as the aviation industry was developing. it is true that some women took more traditional female jobs such as sewing aircraft upholstery or painting radium

agriculture producers and mom and pop businesses to receive financial support. a lot of focus has to be on the overregulation, over taxation, that comes out of washington dc. to free the american entrepreneur, whether they are a farmer or small mom and pop business. whether they are a big american company. we overtax, over regulate. ithink you can actually do in a relatively speedy way, ask tiousishes way -- expedi way. in texas, we have had sweeping for healthh allows care opportunities and the access for health care to explode in texas over the last decade. so we can do this, but it is a matter of having someone who has the experience. that is why i tell people this "show me, do not tell me" election. in texas, whether it is electing supreme court justices or putting regulations into place to make this country more competitive, i have been engaged in this for 14 years. >> this country has a high incarceration rate. would you make any changes in the criminal justice system? mr. perry: there is an example of that. look at criminal justice reform we did in texas, this is not bragging, it is the 12 largest economy in the world, about the same size as canada or australia. we had

agriculture industry prospers. in any number of ways. for every farm worker this are works from that farm american and large jobs. are we saying that skilled farm worker that we need as much as skilled engineer is a net benefit to the united states but mexico should pay? therein lies the challenge of immigration policy. about domestic and economic needs but it is about relationship with countries such as mexico and how to strike a balance. the balance is completely out of bee need to find a way that the worker coming is a good job and himself or her family is ucceeding and paying taxes and reaching their american dream and can go back to mexico and isit and come back to the united states and make their live. for john on the line illegal immigrants john from maryland. caller: i have a comment about .he children adults can be dealt with but born and all s they know is that particular and the law says we have to of the does that make law? baying people who are the loudest about illegal immigrants are immigrants look at the we history of the world going back whatever, the or time that there was immigration to this co

say about more jobs that these are jobs that americans are not doing and will not do but there is only a handful and not surprisingly, they are all in agriculture. as a result, i will provide for an opportunity for illegal workers who meet -- who are in these job classifications to be able to stay in america under a program that will allow their employer to pay a fee for them to be able to stay even though they are illegal under a temporary guest worker program. it would be an annual fee and it will be renewable as long as they want to stay in this country. as my father said, america is worth the wait and it's worth doing it right. this means that we need an immigration policy that rewards those who do it right. and immigration policy that fits our economic needs and immigration policy that puts american workers first. i was asked in the first presidential debate how i would explain the enforcement of our immigration laws to the child of an illegal immigrant. i said our compassion as a government is found in our laws because we treat everyone equally under the law. this must be true of our immigration laws. having an immigration system that tur
