rick dearborn was at the middle of that, too. i think you will start seeing some agitation and we're hearing rumors of it already for a shakeup in trump's political shop, his cabinet affairs shop. my suspicion is this price thing and the other plane fiascos are going to actually lead to some internal changes. kelly might use it as a lever to clean house even more. >> all right. the white house is now trying to spin it, glenn said there is no pr way out of it, but they are saying that this administration has actually used fewer flights than the obama white house did during the same period of time. is that an argument that works? >> i mean, they are trying to compare what they are doing for the obama white house is also ridiculous. i mean, look at the kinds of expenses that are occurring. i think that it is so telling and looking at what has happened during the obama administration. if this was happen, we would have investigations, we'd have hearing, we would have people who are up in arms because don't you remember that mythical $

next, we tour the presidential vehicles collection at the henry ford museum in dearborn, michigan. transportation curator matt anderson shows of cars used by presidents truman, eisenhower, carter, and reagan, and the lincoln continental that john f. kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated. matt: my name is matt anderson. i am curator of transportation here at the henry ford. we are inside the henry ford museum of american innovation. just outside our driving america exhibit, where we look at the history of the automobile in the united states. we are actually standing in front of a series of presidential limousines, which tell the story of the development of presidential transportation over the last 117 years or so. right behind me is the 1902 carriage used by theodore roosevelt. the automobile really becomes a force in the united states starting in the 1890's. but by the time of roosevelt's administration, it is a common occurrence to see cars moving on public streets. roosevelt, interestingly enough, for all the reputation he has as a real forward-looking progressive, reall

> this weekend on american artifacts, we toward the railroad exhibit at the henry ford museum in dearborn, michigan. american railroads are distinguished from ritter's in that british railroads tended to be well built. they often had a stone bridges, substantial construction. larger locomotives. they had right away. in the united states, we are always moving fast. we do not spend a lot of time making things permanent. our railroads were less expensively built. they tended to be rough and bouncy. bridges build wood rather than stone bridges and did not bother putting up fence for right away. it was not uncommon for livestock to wander onto the tracks. generally in that kind of situation, the cow comes out on the short end of that conflict, but its body could get caught underneath and cause the train to derail. atcher is really just designed to keep the cow from falling under the locomotive. sundayh the entire tour at 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. eastern. this is american history tv, only on c-span 3. >> why am i here? i am here just for this reason. think about the opportunity i am involved in

one person being looked at perhaps is more favorable to get information from, i'm told, is rick dearborn, who is the white house assistant to the president for legislative affairs. not to say he's don anything wrong but he was witness to some of the discussions that went into the plain, the airplane discussion in which the t president drafted a statement defending his son. what i'm getting here in this round about way is things closing in. when you have a fie sa court enabling this, that makes the pressure on the president and those around him greater. >> john, how do you see this as somebody that's seen in this from -- >> been there. >> yeah. >> i seen unusual aggressiveness by this prosecutor. i must -- one of the things and first reactions i had, i recall when i was cooperating with the prosecutor was they asked me to wear a wire and go meet with my colleagues, i refused to do that. prosecutors like wiretapped information or somebody locks go out and gather for them. this is long before they knew nixon had a caping system. that doesn't surprise me totally. we now have a much higher st

we tour the, railroad seven at the henry ford museum in dearborn michigan. this is a preview. >> this is a replica of a locomotive. in 1892.as built whatgives us an idea of steam locomotives and trains would have looked like when railroads were first coming on the scene. this became part of the new york central. railroads in the 1830's were very small and local area they might run 15 or 20 miles. some of them had grander ambitions. eventually, we got to that point. they look like stagecoaches on a steel wheels. that is exactly what they are. they use technology. stagecoaches worked fairly well. they tended to rock 'n roll a little bit. railroad designers realized they could come up with a more efficient system. eventually went to the more standard rectangular box configuration like we have today. when the railroad was introduced, it would have been fairly simple. as time went on, it would be about three cents a mile. by the mid-19th century, we have the idea of different classes of travel, everything from first-class with the luxurious appointments all the w

and a large arab community, detroit and dearborn has the largest muslim population outside the middle east. let me suggest this and i'll answer your question, but i want to say this for the record and i have to say this, senator, because i wouldn't be who i am if i didn't say this. my folks expect me to say this. so i'm going to say it. that is -- first of all, there was a study done by the loyola university in which justin leavitt found that out of one billion votes cast between 2000 and 2014, out of one billion votes cast only 31 were cases of voter fraud, 31 out of a billion. between 2000 and 2014. there would be much more weight given to a commission on integrity if the same commission was concerned about russian interference with the electoral process of the nation, yet the same president and the same composition of the commission is disavowing any connection to that at all. yet, all of the intelligence agencies of the nation have said that there was interference with our election. so that right there delegitimizes anything they would bring to the table. so when you ask the quest

. >> so the districts, while yes it doesn't include dearborn, most specifically which is what we all think of when we think of michigan, and it is where i grew up, but nevertheless, the district still has a 10 - 12% middle eastern and asian-american community which does include a high concentration of muslim americans as well and a growing community. i will answer your question, but part of my plan does include engagement and outreach and mobilization of the community. i'm in an area that is considered purple, it can be flipped. it is an open seat. the recent incumbent mentioned he is not running for reelection. it made this race more competitive. i scared him away, is what i tell people. number nevertheless, it will take a little bit more than just the democratic base to win the seat. so, a part of that, a piece of that puzzle is expanding the electorate. that's why i've always done voter engagement and mobilization within a more vulnerable communities. in this district it can go a long, long way. it can take time to appeal to people outside of the community as well. i run on a mess

we consulted with a number of state and local governments, including folks, good friends in dearborn about how do you classify mena, who should the income who should be out. that is going back to the mena for were we invited all these experts from across the country to get a seat back. because probably many of you in this room and not even agree what the middle east north africa classification should be. what countries can what nations states should be income what nationals be income what chris asher group should be in that. this presented the census bureau a very big challenge. so we wanted, the way we approached it was that we looked at all these key classifications and for the census bureaus working classification, we included those nationalities that were in the majority of those classification. so for example, in egyptian was basically in every classification that became -- that we begin across the armenian, not very much. very low. this is to give you an example, you can go to the next slide. this is the census bureau working classification for mena which includes 19 nationalit

matt: are you planning -- i know that forward in dearborn already is putting so much effort into alternativeer trends. it has been for some time. are you planning to shift focus more to alternative powertrains here? steven: yeah, we announced earlier in the year that we would be working on a number of electrified vehicles. we were really pleased with the news that we made last month where we announced our collaboration with dhl and street scooter to start to sell fully electric transit vans. we have the number one commercial vehicle in europe with our transit line of commercial vehicles. so the commercial vehicle business is important to us. the new collaboration with street scooters will be the largest manufacturer of electric commercial vehicles in europe. in addition to that, we will start fleet trials in london hybridhis year, our transit customer vance, which we will introduce in 2019. so we have been planning a shift toward electric or electrified charge in our vehicles, particularly our commercial vehicle lineup, which is important here in europe. i think we are well-positioned moving

so the district's while it doesn't include dearborn most specifically which i think is what we all think of when we think of michigan and where all the arabs are and it is where i grew up, but nevertheless the district still has about a 10% to 12% middle eastern community and a growing community for that matter. so i'll answer your question, but part of my plan does include engagement and outreach and mobilization of the community. and because -- i'm in an r plus 3 which means it's purple. it can be flipped. it is an open seat. the republican incumbent recently announced that he is not running for reelection so it just even the playing field and made this race even more competitive. i scared him away is what i tell people, but nevertheless, it will take -- there will take a little bit more than just the democratic base to win this seat and so a part of that, i think, a piece of that puzzle is expanding the electorate and that's why i've always done voter engagement within more vulnerable communities and in this district it can go a long, long way. now it will take us to appeal to people
