i called it at crenshaw. man, that's dorsey! crenshaw not a real place!crenshaw is not a real city. that's why i named it live in crenshaw, with it not being a place, watching boys in the hood, it's a vibe of whatever the community is. i wanted to call it live in crenshaw. >> jimmy: i think you did the right thing. >> that ain't my high school. >> jimmy: a lot of the especially, like 80% of the special is one is story. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you telling this fantastic story about your -- did your family like that? >> this is what it is. what i did was i took all these different stories i've ever told on stage and made it into one thing. >> jimmy: ah, so it's all true. >> it's all true, differently true. i had to make it, had to ex-and rate some things. people will sue you, know what i mean? >> jimmy: do you have, which of your relatives would be most likely to sue you? >> that's a good question. i don't think my dad would. but that's, me and my brother were just talking about this. i'm doing a screening in chicago, and i got most of my family coming out, we'r

crenshaw, for three minutes. rep. crenshaw: i want to address three issues that were brought up, three concerns. infrastructure, inequality, and trade. what is interesting about the infrastructure issue, the claim earlier was that tax cuts effectively prevent the government from investing in infrastructure. it begs the question, why don't we focus on infrastructure? in your statement, you said last year's growth was led by strong gains in consumer spending and increases in business investment. that is still true, right? chair powell: well, really consumer spending rather than business investment. rep. crenshaw: it turns out that business investment can be something that drives the economy other than just government investment. on inequality, would it also be true that wages have grown much faster in the bottom quintile of earners than the higher quintile? chair powell: yes, that is the case. rep. crenshaw: and on trade, there are a lot of concerns about trade and particularly associated with trade confrontation with c

we begin with the congressman crenshaw of texas who has been urging his colleagues. we appreciate you coming into night. >> great to be with you. >> ed: what to say about brenda lawrence from michigan? over the weekend she was basically saying that she is for censure, there is no point to remove him from office. today on msnbc she flip-flopped and said she still for impeachment. what is going on? >> i think that's indicative of the problem democrats have politically here. i think 31 seats that trump one method are held by democrats, they're in a tough position. on the one hand they have the radical left base that wants impeachment at all costs. they've wanted since he got elected and we all know that. they've independence that they're starting to lose now. we are seeing polling data showing a shift and support for impeachment and in favor of the president. that's not good for these democrats. there's no upside for them. what they're hoping for is to make this narrative stick, to make it stake in the back of people's minds by the time the election comes. i think his i

[applause] going tor: i am introduce my co-author, doug crenshaw, who is going to lecture about williamsburg today. [laughter] i sat down last night to review notes, and i couldn't think -- couldn't help but think about how ryan ended his presentation yesterday. it caused me to rewrite the whole thing. thanks, ryan. forgotten battles is a cool thing and i was going to open with a quote and then i thought about it, we have a morbid fascination with body count, only big, bloody battles are important. then richard lewis said last from, the guy who falls dysentery, that is his forgotten battle and certainly his family's forgotten battle. at the one guy on picket one night by himself on a cold day who is shut down, that is probably his most important battle. so i am going to open with a quote from not a historian, just a guy who fought at the battle of williamsburg. this guy gets hit in the shoulder with a six-pound ball. his friend says, it is just a --she -- just day fle just a flesher, and he gets up and goes on fighting. and in his diary years after, he says this. the battle of williamsburg h

crenshaw and you have an exchange on the theory. wonder if you can confirm for me the theory is problematic or just wrong in terms of this idea we can continue to spend into oblivion. would you agree with that? >> it's hard to pin down what was meant by the term i can see the idea that the countries that are in their ow own currency cat get into trouble is just wrong. if those are appropriately ascribed to that theory. >> i appreciate that and i do think they are. you are aware as much as anybody across the threshold $23 trillion of debt that we are currently holding. would you say roughly the annual budget is two thirds mandatory or discretionary, does that sound right to you? one thing that is often raised we have to address mandatory spending. we've got to have reforms for so-called entitlement spending and so forth to get our hands around spend them. would you agree or are you aware of any serious proposals being pushed by the majority of this body that is likely to be enacted into law that is going to impact mandatory spend in

crenshaw, had an exchange on modern monetary theory. i wonder if you can confirm for me that modern monetary theory is problematic or just wrong in terms of this idea that we can just continue to spend into oblivion. would you agree with that? >> i'm not -- i'm not a student of the overall -- it's hard to pin down exactly what is meant by the term. but i would say the idea that countries that borrow in their own currency can't get into trouble, i think, is just wrong. and the idea that debt doesn't matter is also wrong. if those are appropriately ascribed to that theory. >> i appreciate that. and i think -- i do think they are. and you are aware, as much as anybody, we have crossed the threshold of $23 trillion debt we're currently holding. would you say roughly our annual budget is two-thirds mandatory and a third discretionary, that sound right to you? >> yes. >> and one thing that is often raised here is that we have to address mandatory spending. i agree with that. we have to have reforms to so-called entitlement spending, social se

for our axios show this sunday you'll see representative herd of texas, you'll see representative crenshawf texas really wrestling what it's going to mean to be a republican in a more diverse nation. >> jim, let's talk a little bit about the impeachment probe, if we can. >> does it start looking like the rest of the country, there won't be a republican party in this country. but we know where the trends are going and we know what we need to do. >> i don't take it as a given because you're nonwhite that we should worry about you voting democrat. i think democrats take that for granted. that's where this conversation comes from. this idea that your characteristics should drive how you think, which is -- i think there's a word for that. i think it's called racism. >> you see -- you see republicans really, i think, at this moment looking especially at the state of texas and seeing the demographics change and wondering if this is the election that rising hispanic population makes it a lot harder to compete at the national level. this will be obscured a little bit of the next three or four month

crenshaw, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you all for being here. lot of great discussion today. i'll try to hit some different topics. this one -- this question regarding hezbollah and the recent decision of the lebanese president to step down, i'll direct this to you, mr. travers, how do you think that affects the iranian threat, the hezbollah threat globally and then maybe you can expand upon what the nexus is between hezbollah and some of the groups south of the border in south america and mexican drug cartels, if any. >> well, the unrest in lebanon and hariri's decision largely a local issue having to do with a whatsapp tax. it's been fascinating to watch. i don't know it has a great deal to do with hezbollah itself. i think hezbollah was a fan of hariri's and would like him to stay put. hezbollah itself, you're quite right, is an extraordinary organization and it does have global connections. it's a very mature organization. it's very careful in its decision-making process. we're watching very carefully its activities in the middle east right

from a coal state, indiana, -- representative matt gaetz i has a crime and change bill very dan crenshaw, a conservative representative has a climate change bill. there is absolutely reason to think that we can have these conversations. this is a sophisticated audience. it was signed into law by this president. there are things that can happen. maybe they are smaller things. canblicans and democrats find things they can agree on to do about climate change. there is a growing conversation on the right. there is more reason for optimism than others might say. >> i'm going to use the moderator's discretion and be the skeptic. there was a mention of trump's legacy. one would intercept -- you have democratic candidates talking about how they would want to make trade -- a way of doing things. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have talked about posing a fee on importing carbon intensive goods. biden said he would take a hard line on china. what do you make of these plans to better incorporate climate into trade and how that might be done? of the biggest gaps in most democratic candidates disc

dan crenshaw, conservative representative from texas, he has i think there's absolutely reason to think that we can have some of these conversations. many of you know this, this is a sophisticated audience, 45q is essentially a carbon -- it was passed, signed into law by this president. there are things that can happen. maybe they're smaller things, but republicans and democrats can find things they can agree on to do about climate and there's a growing conversation on the right, you know, charles and i being gainfully employed is representative of that, too. so i think there's -- there's more reason for optimism than almost might say. >> well, i'm going to use the moderator discretion here and being the paid skeptic, i'm going to switch sides here and, but, so, you know, amos, i wanted to ask you, there was a point mentioned about trump's legacy. one of those is definitely he's upset the international order on trade. you know, at this point, now, you also have democratic candidates talking about how they would want to make trade a kind of climate smart, you know, way of doing things. b
