george miller was northern california. marty russo was from illinois and my father and i and across the way was chuck schumer on the foldout couch. watching these men who would go out and do great things, getting them up in the morning made me realize they are just regular guys who are working very hard and going out and doing great things. that was inspiring to me. i will never forget the collegiality of not just those for members they had together, but all the congressional members seem to have at that time. not just democrats, but republicans. there was a chemistry among congressional members that i believe led to their ability to compromise. i look forward to reinstalling that here as best i can. we will develop over this last week and a half. we have been here at new member orientation. i look forward to doing it with the republicans as well. >> what did you do next? jimmy panetta: i worked in alaska on a research vessel. when i was back here, i met a commander who was working in my father's office. he said if you eve

no less a voice then former congressman george miller spelled out that threat. >>: the fact is that twenty million americans have access to a system they didn't have a few years ago. >>: that's now threatened because of the idea that they are going to create trumpcare and trumpcare is not about giving people insurance, it's not about giving about taking the system and shattering it and putting it back into the hands of individual insurance companies. >>:the absence of healthcare or the absence of coverage is a crusher justice. >> reporter: among the concern s was the prospect of losing coverage because of a preexisting condition. >>: i represent one in ten women who have endometriosis. we are very concerned because this is a preexisting condition' >>: i will need cancer blocking medication for the rest of my life. like i said i'm thirty nine years old, i've already fought for my life i shouldn't have to fight for health care. >> reporter: the former congressman saw this as a part of a rising movement to preserve gains now threatened by the trump administration. >>: the womens march was an

psychologists had long discussed industrialism's inability to overlook the senses and cause what american george miller termed [indiscernible] dangers ofed the social the generously. many of them are visiting craig lockhart hospital in 1917 after years of fighting, years of experiencing these kinds of trauma. it was the persistence of war that deepened both the numbers of shellshocked soldiers and narratives regarding shellshocked nations. it was not just children -- not just soldiers, but nations and landscapes that all seemed to your revocable he shellshocked -- all seemed irrevocably shellshocked by war. it was regarded as a mental state which mirrored a social disease and national degeneration. intellectuals and early psychologists have long discussed industrialism's ability to overwhelm the census and cause neurasthenia. nearest, warner assists -- neurasthenia, shellshocked. it signaled the breakdown of western civilization. in a well-received study of france and germany, it drew the conclusion of degeneracy most sharply. it reiterated that society was literally a more or less organized mental sys

he was living in a house that was owned by george miller, just a couple blocks from the house office buildings. dick durbin lived there. leon panetta lived there until he went into the clinton administration. they were these young turks who are trying to challenge the leadership at the time, first with speaker foley and then speak or write. they really wanted to push the envelope. what happened was 1994, the midterm losses, and you lost the majority here and he will tell you, chuck schumer will tell you that he's been in the minority in the seneca in the majority in the senate and the majority in the house and the minority in the house. only one of those four situations did he hate and i was being in the house minority. that's what he made this interlocinternal calculus of al, i'm going to run statewide. >> host: now minority leader for the u.s. senate. first elected to the senate in 1998. only a couple couple of years later, 2001, 9/11 happens in 2001 and the following march in 2002 senator schumer and the new york delegation urging president george w. bush to sign legislation the p

him in person was the chairman -- was the ranking democrat on the housed indication committee george millerlifornia. so it quickly got around that bush was calling significant numbers of democrats, cordial conversations, opening a line of communication and so when gephart did what he did the fact that bush didn't respond played the issue down. >> bill: my sense is if you don't remember those moments, this was a story that hung in the balance every hour of every day. >> absolutely. >> bill: it would take a different direction and heads were spinning. even after all that i don't remember the opposition in 2000 the way it is now. so what is the difference then, karl? >> i think one is the growth of social media allows us to -- it allows people to troll people into social media. some of these democrats have reacted to president-elect trump because they know it gets them attention and prestige. it was interesting this morning congressman lewis's staff said this has all generated 60,000 additional followers on twitter for congressman lewis's account. as if that was an important, dramatic moment w

he did work with teddy kennedy and george miller in the house, and then people started -- their own problemsducted themselves in two different ways. george w. bush i remember very well reaching out to democrats on the idea that he knew he was going to have to work with a democratic congress and how to get that done. his inaugural speech was filled with language about let's unify, come together, we're all one, let's do this. there was no stick in the eye, none of that. one of the first things george w. bush did was get with ted kennedy and work out a deal on education reform with the most liberal member of the united states senate. he worked out a deal on that. george w. bush came into office probably 20 points higher, even though it was an election that was controversial of an approval rating as he enters. but there was many in -- when we were in the campaign talking about this, we all said that we're going to have to be humble going in because most of the country does not necessarily support us as president. >> as we see the motorcade starting to roll right now, mark, we're getting encourag

tom: i know, it is monday, so matt miller dodges questions. george magnus is paid to do this. tariff from the u.s.? george: token tariff. you know, we have already had some discussion during the campaign, some rhetoric about 45% tariffs on chinese goods. now the president-elect is talking about a 35% tariff on bmw parts. and the the president executive branch of government that,powered to do not they are empowered to initiate investigations which could -- the moreriffs likely outcome, in my view, would be a firmer conclusion to borderoposal about taxes. it is a seemingly nonaggressive way of having the same effect but making it look like it is a reform of the u.s. tax code. but it is protectionist, no question. tom: well said. this is really important. i am in the camp where any tariff is a tariff, that there down toadation from 35% a5%, that tariffs are really difficult political outcome for any country. guy: i come back to this issue of supply chains. this is an important part of what we are talking about. george was talking about theresa may seeing the economy in a differen

miller. four of the five facts were not true. alternative facts are not facts, they're falsehoods. >> your thoughts, michael moore. alternative facts. >> georgeh, my god. he could -- you know what, orwell actually wouldn't have a job because he's supposed to make this stuff up as a fiction writer if he lived today. that's just the most incredible thing i have heard. well, okay, i know a lot of people now are going, well, there's a lot of americans who will buy that. that's true. but not the majority. and that's what we saw i think yesterday too, is that the majority of this country didn't vote for donald j. trump. i don't just mean the 3 million difference but also the seven million who voted green or libertarian, so that's over 10 million people who voted not to have trump. so at least take some solace this morning in knowing that, yes, there are people that will nod their head and go, yes, alternative facts, but the majority i know aren't buying it and won't buy it. >> yeah. and you very brilliantly went out to trump country for the most recent documentary you did. we talked about it before on this show, and talked to trump voters. i'm curi
