senator harkin, than byou so much fng here, and we're sorry for your loss.know how close you were to marca bristo. you have worked fr decades in the disabilities movement. >> mm-hmm. >> woodruff: how should we see marca bristo? that movement? >> i think she wilnshrined in the future as one of the great leaders ofa global disabilities -- civil rights movement for persons with disabilities. when you think about the civil ghts movement for african-americans, you think of malcolm x and martin luther king and john lwis. think when people in the future look back at the disability rights civil rights movement, they will think of, of course, justin dart and george h.w. bush that signed the law but also of marca bristo who really made it happen. you were pivotal in writing and putting together the americans with disabilities act. you worked on it. a lot of people re involved in that. it was a late 1980s into 1990 when president george h.w. bush signed it into law. what did marca bristo do that others weren't doing at that time? >> just -- she was justin dt's protojay

just because tom harkinment with a wanted to call it such. and just a quick note.olks as they are fleeing the rain, a speaker just announced that new york city mayor bill de blasio is now coming up on stage and then of course everybody laughed because everybody is trying to make sense of all this. just like trying to figure out why it is called a steak fry. >> because he has withdrawn. all right. thank you so much, vaughn. thank you all three. still ahead for you, politics of the whistleblower scandal. both the president and his alleged target joe biden thousand both fund raising over this very controversy. ng over this very controversy. do your asthma symptoms ever hold you back? about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. fasenra is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra is proven to help prevent sever

iran relations hanging in the balance artist and the harkins looks into how this standoff could play out. iran and the united states go way back a relationship at sea in a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century it's hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many listening to recent rhetoric you'd certainly think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack. and it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u.s. help after those attacks on it's all refineries it seems all those billions spent on u.s. military gadgets weren't enough to keep them safe back in may the u.s. sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest inciden

harkin dorian is headed towards the united states ought to be having a trail of destruction in the bahamas so far 7 people are confirmed dead but the prime minister warns the death toll is sure to rise as the country prepares for a humanitarian crisis. and south african brands of face reprisal attacks by protesters in nigeria and zambia after a wave of xenophobia attacks against foreign owned businesses in south africa. nigeria says it will boycott an african economic summit in cape town as a result. the united states is blacklisted what it called an oil for terror network of ships and individuals allegedly directed by iran's revolutionary guards to supply syria with oil and also announced a reward of up to $15000000.00 for information that disrupts the revolutionary guards financial and foreign espionage operations iran said it was willing to recommit to the 2015 nuclear deal but only if it gets $15000000000.00 of full oil sales in return now the plan was proposed by france in an effort to salvage the equipment but iran's president hassan rouhani said he would give the europeans 2 months

this harkins back to a feasibility study for less extensive that was to proceed to preenvironmental design in 2015. it was expanded in scope in 2016. when sf m.t.a. staff was asks if this was to proceed. they need priority against other major transit projects as part of the overall connect effort. it would be premature to engage in environmental review until the transit corridor and streets and freeway studies recommendations could be evaluated. with the ongoing congestion on 19th and park mer said, the mead for the m line is more acute every day. regarding speed radar signs, there was a question about combining with technology such as road sensors to capture speed data in realtime to gauge the effectiveness along with before and after studies currently performed. the cat recommended approval for all of the requests. during discussion of vision zero, item 7, a cac member observed the up take in facility seems to coincide with increase in cac vehicles on the streets. there have been no cacs involved in an accident it was part of the policy agenda. another member highlighted communities of c

that are going to harkin back to the defenses that they are using to say that this is not a big deal, this is hearsay, et cetera. i'm sure the attorneys are prepping the whistle blower to handle tough questions just like that one. this is all a fact finding process, the whistle blower is there to deliver the facts. >> next question, i don't mean this lightly at all. if and when this person's identity is outed, what are the ramifications or the worries for the whistle-blower. and the person who blew his or her cover? >> i'd imagine that a will include some type of either formal or informal retaliation against this whistle-blower. the director of national intelligence needs to be protected as they're required to do so under the law. the fact that the president is on twitter talking about what should be happening to whistle blowers like this one, and calling this whistle-blower a traitor and a spy, makes that hard to do and hard for the dni to uphold that promise. >> thank you very much. >>> from the vice president to rudy giuliani, the president isn't happy with his chief of staff. we'l

tom harkin already had the power elite sewed up back in 1991. and bob carey was the most compelling personal story. and a massachusetts senator was the favored son and the democratic field, but at 3% of polls was little-known bill clinton, who knew something about seizing the stage, having run for office seven times in his home state. he decided to part a massive rv in the spacious parking lot next to that year's convention site. the rv became clinton's office as he invited one activist after another to join him for one on one chat. all of the candidates attending speak ae expected to seven to 10 minute speech during a program expected to run from 9:00 to 4:00. the speaking order will mostly be alphabetical. strawarter prohibits polls as the iowa state fair does the summer before every presidential year. the article is on the union leader website. who is your top candidate? caller: donald trump. i'm originally from new hampshire. -- it'sway i see it everything. .t's immigration i think he's done fairly good in everything he has predicted. you ha

and gentlemen, i know this is now the polk county fry, but i started off here when it was the tom harkinsasn't ever this big. compliments of kind of what a great crowd. i served tom and together a long time. battles, me pass helped me pass the assault weapons ban, the violence against women act. i played a small part in his crowning achievement, his with disability act that he passed. [cheering] tough, tom was principled and honest. i think he warrants being recognized here today. folks, we meet here today as a by donald trump just seems to get worse every single solitary minute. saw in el paso -- we see it where iran and god knows he's going to go with that. the stakes are only getting higher. above all else, we must defeat donald trump, period. [cheering] >> and stop his abuse of power. a president who traffics in the ugliest forces. the ugliest forces in our nation's history. in both clear language and code. president trump has fanned the white supremacy in this nation. when charlottesville occurred were decent people standing there saying, we will not go along with this hate, and aske

guest: it was started by tom harkin in the late 1980's as a fundraiser for him.sidential candidates and people who have not yet declared as candidates come through with the events. it is a platform for people aspiring to the white house. just about everyone you can islands ao give chance to get to know them. this year, it is the biggest one we have ever seen. candidates. i think they have sold 11,000 tickets. host: based on what you have fries,th past steak what do the candidates get out of the event? guest: polk county democrats who are hosting the event are stressing this is an organizing events. you have 11,000 likely caucus-goers at your fingertips. candidates. these they will have to walk through the crowds to get there. this is a chance to have time with people showing up in february. it is a chance for their teams to show off a little bit. historically, the teams come in and try to make a big scene to get people excited. this is an exciting event for iowa democrats. oft: what is your sense where the momentum is going in iowa? who has got it? preface this b

the last time a senator did not win was 1984 when tom harkin defeated a republican.n the 70's and 80's, we had three u.s. senators who were defeated in their first reelection bids. 2020 will be the best opportunity to try to defeat her. favoredmbent in iowa is unless there is an unusual circumstance. we have four strong democrats running. there is plenty of time for people to make themselves known. it's too early to see of the sentiment will be favorable to democrats like 2018. now, she is probably favored. i would not rule out the reelection it could be threatened. has she included president trump and her campaigning? joni ernst and chuck grassley have not stood up to trump on anything. when they are out campaigning and doing events, they are not holding a lot of campaign events. they are holding town hall meetings organized by their congressional offices. u.s.are paid for by the taxpayer rather than the campaign. they are technically official event. i don't think she is talking about the president. she may say that she is mildly as agreeing with something he's doin
