host: eliza collins, let's talk more about immigration. jared kushner has a plan, and when will we learn more about it? guest: it is supposed to come out, i believe, over the next month and he has said that he has united multiple different wings in this administration, which there certainly are many wings on the immigration issue. what kushner does have, which many people in the administration do not, he has experience actually working with lawmakers on a bipartisan basis to pass major legislation. he works on criminal justice reform -- he worked on criminal justice reform for quite a long time. and republicans sat at a table and hashed it out. that is one of the only bipartisan pieces of legislation that passed in congress during the president's term. i do not know if the immigration plan -- i think it is a tricky issue. -- withde room justice criminal justice reform, there was more success. in the crosshairs of the mueller members of congress sat in the fight. i am not sure what is in the bill. host: we will go to jacksonville, north car

>> eliza: sure, so for this project i followed a family and their neighbors. i followed three families who were bringing this lawsuit first against oil and gas company, and against the government for failure to help them in anyway. and so this kind of journalism is called emeasures urge. , so what i did is embed in these families that when they remembered i was there, they looked around and said you're still here? i went through many chapters of life alongside them. and i had the amazingvi privilege -- so i'll tell you how i came to know one. i was actually writing a book about crumbling bridges and our collective poverty, was our last investment in infrastructure,r and in southwestern pennsylvania. that's how i came to write about fracking and one day a biologist who worked for the army core of engineers, we were looking at failing levees and locks and dams. he said will you come with me, i'm going to drive the morgantown, west virginia, and i'm going to meet with people at the parent airport, they've taken over the airport for the day to talk about the what

i'd imagine, eliza. what are you hear something. >> we saw a monmouth poll that says 60% of the public wants to see the report. democrats feel that they have that on their side. they have to be careful in how they proceed. in that same poll, it said 54% of americans want congress to move on after the release of the report. >> neil: good luck with that. >> exactly. >> neil: eliza, thank you. good seeing you. tomorrow is the day this is due. we don't know what time it will be released. we've got a number of very, very speedy speed readers available to at least come through what they can when they can. in the meantime, you do know that a lot of those people will be angry in congress and demanding the president release his taxes. that is debatable it will ever happen. these democratic candidates, most of them have released theirs. the one thing we discovered outside the fact that many of them are very wealthy, when it comes to the charitable enterprises that they want the government to conduct, they're not s

eliza philippidis reports.lier this month. they are both on extended loa n month. they are both on extended loan from china. and the people at the zoo so they have been preparing for years. translation: for us it is completely unique, because the animal only exists in 19 places outside of china. that a zoo has pandas is very special. just like in the wild, they'll be living in their own space. when the female is on heat, which happens once a year, they'll be brought together in the hope that the pair produce clubs. pandas that live outside china are considered the property of china and these so—called diplomatic loans have, in the past, been used to help foster relationships with other countries. some argue it's more about commerce than conservation. on wednesday, at copenhagen zoo, these beautiful animals were welcomed to their new home by denmark's queen, who was there to officially open the panda house. and, by the looks of it, mao sun has the art of relaxation down toat. sun has the art of relaxation down t

is what i start to think but then i remember the rest of eliza story. the court argued it didn't apply to her situation and didn't fall under the jurisdiction of the court. it refused to hear her case. alliesfected oliva -- and the children. there are two threads. liana, tryingout to understand that story. it deals with me grappling with some racial issue. the ways in which black people have had to constantly forgive. in thinking about that idea, i and what back to liana possible harm was done to her. about whether or not she for gave this man and what that would've looked like. that's one essay in here centers around the university of missouri. there are two dueling narratives. is framed as a tour guide, if you were to take a tour of the campus. bullet points that -- of things that you would see. , myfootnote story is things own experiences being there. there is a lynching that had happened on the campus. there, one of the groups was trying to do a memorial to recognize that this happened. there's another fraternity that is housed within what was once

times," david rhode. >> eliza, let me start with you by saying that the rally was clearly promoted as nationalist event tweeted out by richard spencer, saw the chilling video. the marchers chanted jews will not replace us. i can go on and on and you can pretty much get the point here and i'm wondering why is the president and kellyanne conway apparently now trying to change the narrative that this rally was really only about the removal of a statue. >> well, they are not technically trying to change the narrative now because this is what the president has said all along since it first happened. he did say very fine people on both sides. the reason this is back in the news, and you mentioned this earlier, is because former vice president joe biden jumped into the 2020 race and he's seeking the democratic nomination and in his video he talked about charlottesville and he talked about the president's comment and he basically made the argument that if you choose biden the country will return to a time when that was a very bad thing, charlottesville, so the president was asked about biden

eliza had managed -- she has a fascinating long story. she had managed to purchase her own freedom. she'd also had some seven or eight children. she had named her daughter for her famous brother, by giving her the middle name douglass. she remained illiterate, but she had somehow followed the fame of her brother. it's not absolutely clear douglass even recognized her at first, but whatever. he grabbed her by the arm, and he and eliza walked up the center aisle of the bethel ame church to an altar we're told was surrounded by american flags. and one of the local papers called him the illustrious exile. and he opened the speech again with noah's ark, but with a twist. he told of noah sending the dove out of the ark, and the dove comes back with the branch in the beak. noah sends the dove out again. the dove does not return. douglass says no ah takes the tarp off the ark, and, lo, the world is renewed. but he said, today i am the sign. i am the dove, that i have returned to the free soil of maryland, i am the dove. now, that takes chutzpah to put yourself into the noah's ark story and

. >>> joining me is greg broward, eliza collins and kevin sarili.ou. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> greg, let me start with you. so, seriously, what legal options could house judiciary committee jerry nadler take if the justice department kind of fails to hand over the full mueller report by may 21st? >> the option that the house has is to try to enforce the subpoena leading to litigation and can be protracted and drag it out longer than anybody would like to see. i think that frankly this issue over the redactions is more or less a sideshow. i think that for most members of the house, they know already from what they have seen from this report the redacted version whether or not they think there's sufficient evidence to commence impeachment proceedings. two fold, for democrats, the democrats are afraid to do something in a partisan way that might look like pure politics and so they don't want to start something they can't finish and for republicans i'm afraid they're just afraid. they're afraid that doing anything that might appear to be going a

eliza just brought it up.i was wondering if you have any suggestions on how ocasio-cortez can market better than agreement deal, because we see a lot of republicans coming out and is going to get rid of airplanes and hamburgers, and it is just a fall of lives. we canndering how address as a national security issue, a jobs issue, and a public health issue. thank you. >> i think to really take that as to howss roots organizers and frontline communities, indigenous activists have some concerns about whether that deal is forthing at the top or people creating the jobs and , and ig infrastructure think that there are, you know, there are obviously some made,sions that are being and folks are trying to figure those out, but you really need to be listening to folks. what i am hearing a lot areut from activists conversations over nuclear. i am hearing from folks on the ground is that it is not going to gain the momentum it needs unless it has that support. so as much as we see aoc building partnerships, she also has t

i want to turn out to eliza this is very current stuff. so yesterday we learned that chevron had is paying $33 billion in mobile he spent several years in from those of you that don't know this is our small town apartment. what is the cost of the energy. i spent seven years looking at people what it meant to live a few hundred feet one of these gas wells. i want to say thank you these two books my because been in book has been in conversation with them all year in the course my book because of what happened to people who live next door to this well. i don't think without mona they would have the confidence to do that. from the start they were like water contamination is a national issue and these people deserve to be heard. the book is named for two towns. in terms of opioid addiction looking at the human cost of energy production. and how that has helped set up this over simplified urban world environment. he is a pig farmer and very staunch trump supporter he absolutely opposes the federal government to many of us that sounds ridiculous.

i want to echo something that eliza was saying and question whether the problem we're talking about here is open-air drug dealing. and that's one of the reasons why tndc is supportive of the call for a tax force because i think we have to look at a broader set of issues. when people have been talking about some of the negative effects of open-air drug dealing, through conversations working in the tenderloin and also just today, people are talking about overdoses, people are talking about histories of trauma. people are talking about a legacy of, you know, uneven policing. these are all issues that are at hand and so, i'm concerned that by framing it as open-air drug dealing, we're implying a specific response and that response is a criminalizing response. tndc definitely is aware the war on drugs had a racialized legacy and negatively impacted the people that we work with, specifically african-americans and latinos. as we saw earlier with the data, 75% of the mean are arrested for drug sales are african-american or latino. that should definitely raise a lot of questions with us when we'r

. >> eliza collins of "usa today," good to have you. >>> for the first time in years, there will be noer holiday services at the notre dame cathedral in paris. today, in some sense, it will be remembered as an easter amid the ashes. they gathered last night after last week's fire. aaron mclaughlin is outside of a different church where different people will attend church today. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. easter services have ended here, the same service that would have otherwise taken place at notre dame cathedral, but for that horrific fire which tore through the cathedral's roof earlier in the week. the service for the sunday service took place here. instead, it was standing room only. lines of people outside craning their necks to be able to hear and listen to what was a poignant service. it was opened by the archbishop with a prayer for the lives lost in sri lanka, that horrific easter sunday attack. it was closed, though, with a message of thanks to the firefighters who risked their lives to save paris beloved cathedral. the archbishop presented the firefighters with
