and trump was such an outsider when he came to d.c., not many people in d.c. knew him. with a handful of people who worked on his campaign or raised money for him became the top lobbyists. one of them was brian ballard who is a fundraiser for trump and worked in his campaign in florida. when trump won he moved from tallahassee to d.c.. in just four years as a lobbyist he earned $100 million which is more than anyone has made in that period of time. simply because companies wanted to get the trump, then brian ballard is your guy. >> you wrote how conversely it actually created the spoon, right? because if you didn't know him, you are suddenly the popular guy. >> people in washington know there is influence in the appearance of influence. every republican log is and some democrat lobbyist said i know trump. lots of them didn't. but the ones who did have access got some of the clients. if you are a company paying $500,000 per year just to have a guy or woman have access to trump, it's completely worth it for your business. even if you never use them. just to have a safety

a neighborhood in washington, d.c.cemetery was historically blacker cemetery its history is very rich from prominence and not so prominent washington residents. from across the 19th century the ebbs and flows of racial and social dynamics in d.c. this cemetery captures all of thehe stories of the neighborho, of the city, and action of the country. >> was the council's work mean for the cemetery? >> in march of 2023 the advisory council adopted a policy statement on burial starts human remains and objects where we recognize thatlt among other stories and cultures that had been under represented in the american regulatory and federal framework african-american history and african-american cemeteries in particular have beente under resourced and in ws neglected. the policy statement aims to elevate places like this. and to ensure we as a federal agency federal agency state and local governments as well as privatees entities respect the histories of these places were to protect them in different ways for cooking you say to

so this and several other cemeteries in d.c. and others across the country are eligible and have been found eligible for listing on the national register. there's a bit of a bias against cemeteries on the national register, historic places, unless there's distinctive about their development or about their design or or something similar. so interestingly enough, cemeteries are not as well-protected as other types of historic resources by at least our federal process. and that's that's a result of of congress and in interpreting oceans of what should and shouldn't be on the national register well explain that more bias how far where does that bias come from against cemeteries. well part of it is that historic preservation is about history itself. and in many cases, cemeteries are final resting places for people that may have had significance in history. but where the cemetery itself may not be one example of what they call a criteria consideration in the national register is that cemeteries that are associated with significant peo

and when trump one, he moved from tallahassee to d.c. in just four years as a lobbyist, he earned $100 million. which is more than anyone has ec made in that period of time. simply because if companies want to get the trump, brian ballard is your guy. >> it created the spoon. >> right, people in washington know there is influence and appearance of influence. and so every republican lobbyist said i know trump. and lots of them didn't. but the ones who did have access. if you are paying 1 million or 500,000 a year just to have a guy who has access to trump is completely worth it for your business. even if you never have to use that person. just to have a safety net in case something goes wrong. >> do you think you can be a company today and not have lobbyists? >> that's another great question. because the answer should be no. lobbyists are very successful for their companies.-morris, he got $2 billion in one year for his company. other years, other contracts. the return on investment in lobbying is enormous. since we are here, one of the b

we need to send somebody to washington, d.c. that understands agriculture, understands markets, understand competitiveness. it's time to send kevin home. sen. cramer: i have to respond to this because she just made a terrible error, there are 535 members of the u.s. congress. in 2018 when the tariffs were levied and the department of commerce had hearings on these tariffs, 534 members of congress didn't show up. 1 did. that was me. i was in the house of representatives at the time, literally the only member of the u.s. congress to stand up and oppose and ask for waivers and adjustments related to products that are important to north dakota at the department of commerce and by the way socks they listened to that and they did provide some of the waivers. with regard to the tariffs, the idea that we wouldn't use tariffs on a country that is dumping products on our country too cheaply, that is exactly what tariffs are for, to defend our industries in the united states of america. moderator: last word on this. ms. christiansen: he ta

it's time to send someone to washington, d.c. who will not prioritize simple party politics, big pharma, infringements on basic civil liberties. it is time to actually represent the people, and that's what i'm going to do for you guys in washington, d.c. it was an honor for me to fight for this country for over 20 years. i'd be honored to represent rock the vote carolyn dewitt. >> good morning. i'm going to do only did this last week. i have 16 old daughter and you will sound like when i wake up for school in the morning. so one more time. good morning. >> good morning. >> welcome to the university of district of columbia. thank you for joining us today. please take your seat, and at the risk of sounding like an amc commercial, take a moment to silence your phone. my name is andrea waters king and i'm the president of the drum major institute, along with hector sanchez of mi familia vota, our cohost, we are thrilled to have you with us for this powerful conversation at this historic moment. just one month before a very consequent

i think he's changed since he went to d.c.. it's time we send someone else is willing to remember who north dakotans are and what north dakota and values are. >> this is great rhetoric. a little but and a little bit of a rhetoric. but the facts matter. it isn't 100 billion, the claim is 60 bill -- 6 billion that was saved and that's not from all 10 , but rather only three creating these. what the savings are being taken on from medicare. in other words you take the money out of medicare and then pay someone else over here. they are shifting the burden and frankly it's a response we need a much more thorough solution and talking points on the democratic party. this is serious stuff and to consider medicare is going to be insolvent and about 11 or 12 years if we continue down this path so i think there's more to be done for sure. but arbitrary price caps to pay for is not the solution. >> what are each reviewer views onto huge issues right now, the ukraine war and also the israel hamas conflict in gaza. senator cramer you start u

it was my big break to move d.c. bebe offered this post to the federal government was my chance fresh out of grad school or have these ideals of what ideas could make america's education better and i was so disillusioned while i was in government.

washington, d.c. that is nonsense, it is our money, we pay taxes and washington, d.c. chooses how they prioritize it. look at her voting record, she is prioritizing foreign war and foreign aid in her corporate paymasters, you can see who is funding her reelection campaign. she is prioritizing that and expecting us to be happy with table scraps and that has got to stop. >> your response? >> i'm really proud to be ranked in the top 3% of most bipartisan members of the u.s. house of representatives. i seek to represent our values. i upheld my promise to not take corporate tax many and he reneged on that. this idea of corporate paymasters is not based in reality. look at my voting record you can go to the federal website to see how i voted in line with our values. not the values of a political party. joe moved here to run for congress and purge the republican party of people like my parents, who i love and respect. that's his idea of how politics will work, not standing up for our fight to get sea lions o

and it was my big break to move to d.c. and be offered this post in that in the federal government, it was my chance to take i'm fresh out of grad school, fresh out of undergrad, where i had these platonic of of what ideas that could make america's education better. and then i was just so disillusioned while i was in government to see how little actually could be done and how little i could do. well, do you see a difference between d.c. and indianapolis when it comes to civility? it's a great question. i remember the day very clearly. it was fall of 2017. it was maybe, you know, nine or ten months into my tenure in federal government. and i came home one day and said to my husband, who's from indiana originally, i said, i'm done with washington. i'm done with d.c. and with politics in the swamp. let's move to indiana. it was my idea to move there. and he said, we've always talked about one day moving there to be close to his family and to have children there. and he said, okay, sounds good. we'll move to indiana. no take ba

another proposed regulation coming out of waington, d.c. that canadian fishermen were not have to face themselves, and that is unfair. i am fighting against it. austin is a record, there was what he says about supporting fishermen and what he does in augustine. that same budget at $20 million for rebuiing my friends oliver after maine after the big storms come at the fishing equipment and boats that were damaged or lost. $20 million went there to of those communities recover. austin voted no. moderator: you can respond to that. mr. theriault: let's talk specifically aboutffshore wind, and this goeback to jerrod's consistent flip-flopping. i try to find a lobster industry pursued right down the things offshore wind is a good idea, and that i struggle to understand why jerrod voted for legislation in washington d.c. that opened up a can of worms that will allow offshore wind developmenhere in the gulf of maine, and now he says he is fighting against a. in terms of thgray zone he says we cannot do anything about it. that is what is wrong with

i want to touch briefly on why washington d.c. is broken.here were good things in that bill, including the ability to negotiate down prescription drug costs, but they felt that bill with hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of pork, and you had to pay for it. you will continue to pay for it when you fill up your gas tank, pay your electricity bill, and right now with the mandates of electric cars and electric infrastructure right here across maine, they are putting more emphasis on that then actually supporting are industries that have been here for hundreds of years. rep. golden: austin keeps talking about renewable energy proposals. most of the stuff i have seen in the fillers space, offshore, wind, ev mandates coming out of a gusto where he serves, and to guess failed to stop it. even after voting against ev mandates i took the time to submit testimony at the state level against the proposal for an ev mandate that would advance the california standard. austin did not show up to testify for that. begin the second time there was a h

trump is not winning in a federal courtroom in washington, d.c.. instead, a judge is treating him fairly. this week she ruled in his favor on some requests for additional discovery. but she also rules against him on issues that any other criminal defendant would lose on. jack smith will get a fair trial, the american people will get a fair trial, donald trump will get a fair trial if this case is permitted to proceed. >> let's talk about, now, the next steps. we have seen the motion for the immunity determinations for the attached appendices that were the exhibits. there was an objection, it has now been publicly filed. donald trump will respond accordingly, and judge chutkan will make a decision as to how much of that superseding indictment survives from an attack by donald trump. is it at that point, then, once chutkan rules on what is left of the superseding indictment, that donald trump can take an appeal to the d.c. circuit court of appeals? >> yes. that is exactly right. so, the first thing that we should acknowledge is that trump's response

the work that has been happening in d.c. is not good. it has resulted in inflation, made it harder for people to stay in alaska. we see 67 executive orders issued by the biden-harris team targeting alaska specifically. it is making it harder and harder for alaskans to make a living, harder and harder for alaskans to stay here. i do not think we need to be supporting an agenda that is obstructionist. we need to make sure government is staying in its lane, doing what it is supposed to do constitutionally, balancing budgets, protecting the american people and putting the needs of the american people first. when it is not doing that it is incumbent for people to stand up who have been elected to represent americans across the country and say this is not working. moderator: would you like 30 seconds to rebut? rep. peltola: i would not categorize the freedom caucus is working to stabilize government or keep it funded. every time we turn around we are on the precipice of a government shutdown which affects every alaskan. we are right now in a p
