mcgovern: mr. speaker, i rise in very, very strong opposition to this closed rule, which provides for the consideration of h.r. 3192, the so-called homebuyer protection act. today's rule marks the 42nd closed rule we have considered during the 114th congress. the 42nd. more than half of all the rules we have reported out of the rules committee have been closed, completely closed. and a majority of the bills -- the rules committee has sent to the floor have drawn a veto threat. this bill is no exception. i ask unanimous consent to insert into the record the statement of administration policy saying that if the president were presented with r. 392, the senior advise rs would -- 3192 the senior advisers would recommend he veto the bill. speaker boehner and the entire republican leadership promised the democrats a right to, and quote, a robust debate in an open process, end quote. he promised us the opportunity to make our case, to offer heard.tives, and to be instead the speaker's presided over the mo

that doesn't mean that you can't be mcgovernized. >> talk about immigration. this is probably bernie's one area of vulnerability in the state of nevada with the heavily latino population that if one of the other primary candidates wanted to go after him on, his support or his lukewarm support for comprehensive immigration reform will be one of his few areas of vulnerability. otherwise, the question is, will this be a mcgovernable debate by the end of it. >> i want to, jess, read to you this. obama advisor someone leaked the sort of obama, hillary game plan for the debates in 2008. and as reported by ryan elis za. her greatest vulnerability is on shifting positions adding her recent announcement to oppose the tpp was a mistake. her position is a fairly significant error. she's going to get attacked either way. is that the sort of -- is hillary clinton going to having to answer for consistency and particularly if her policy positions seem roughly in the same place as bernie sanders, is bernie sanders going to be able to say look, i was here all along? >> no, wha

i then spent two years for george mcgovern in 1971 and 1972. i ran for the senate, never having run for office before in 1974 and succeeding and being reelected in 1980. seeking the presidency in 1984. brian: and 1988. gary: in 1988, briefly. since you have gotten out of politics, what have you done? besides the 21 books you have written. gary: i have not counted, some before and some since leaving office. i went back to school. i earned a graduate degree, a phd. i wrote a thesis on thomas jefferson. and his ideal of the republic. and that got published. i tried to help colorado-based companies do international projects. i was deeply involved in one of our bell telephone companies headquartered in denver in modernizing the soviet and then russian telephone system. starting in 1988 or 1989, all of the way through until about 2003 and 2004. through the coup, and the collapse of the soviet union. it was an extraordinary adventure. brian: now, you are a representative to northern ireland. gary: john kerry whom i supported when he ran for president,

brian: can you remember when you ran the mcgovern campaign, how old were you? gary: 31, 32.hink the guy running the clinton campaign is about 35. why did you think you could do that at that age? do you remember what you are thinking at the time? i thought i knew all there was to know about national campaigns. what usually is called grassroots campaigning, which is starting with a small core of committed people. iowa, new hampshire. then, their task is to reach out ,nd recruit 10 more or 20 more and the same would grow until you have several thousand supporters in every state. that is pretty much what we did. there wasn't any magic to it. a lot of it was out of the sensitive because we had no money. of peanut butter and sleeping on the kitchen floor kind of operation. brian: did you ever think you could win? when hecertainly did began to win primaries, because there was a real groundswell in the country against the vietnam war. campaign,rse, in that richard nixon promised he would and that war. seven years later, five years later, whatever it was. when the party establishment

mcgovern: mr. speaker, i recently had the pleasure of speaking with a group of people involved with community voices, why nutrition assistance matters. it was inspiring to hear about the real and positive impact our federal nutrition programs on the daily lives of americans all across this contry. community voices is a summer-long national campaign launched by center for american progress, the coalition on human needs, witnesses to hunger, the food research in action center, feeding america, and the academy of nutrition and die at the timics. it was started to share the personal stories of individuals and service providers who experience firsthand programs like snap or w.i.c. or school meals. these contributors are the real exports when it comes to the importance and effect of our vital nutrition assistance programs. the community voices campaign culminated in this booklet, a compilation of many of these stories. i'd like to take a moment and share a few of these stories. genetta from california sa

mcgovern: mr. speaker, one of the greatest health challenges facing our country right now is hunger. we have a hunger problem in the united states of america. and for far too long we have minimized the problem, some have even ignored the problem. in short, our response has been inadequate. and we have failed to view hunger as a health issue, which it is. for our nation's youngest and most vulnerable, our children, the negative effects of childhood hunger are pervasive and long lasting. last week i was pleased to see the american academy of pediatrics release its newest policy statement which for the first time recommends that pediatricians screen all children for food insecurity. the new recommendations consist of two simple questions for pediatricians to ask parents of young children at their annual well visit to identify and address childhood hunger. it also recommends that pediatricians become more familiar with our roe bust system of anti-hunger programs at the federal, state, and local levels.

. >> i think it was "the new yorker" and i think it was george mcgovern. but go ahead. >> i butchered the entire anecdote. but the idea that we all sort of talk to each other. and it becomes this echo chamber and that's why people surprised that donald trump has tapped into something which some of us are not surprised by, which there are a lot of angry people who feel like our country has changed too rapidly for their liking whether that's on things like race, whether that's on things like lbgt rights. and you actually don't find his surge that surprising. and i don't. >> i think there is a media echo chamber. i think we should acknowledge that. you said on the program in august, the media see trump as a clown, he's bad for the republican party, and demagogues are popular. >> yeah. i standby that. >> did your personal distaste for his bombastic style and maybe some of his positions because he's not a conservative call your judgment at all? by the way, you have plenty of company. >> well, i try not to let that. and there are other candidates. whether i like

mcgovern is all lbj had to worry about, now you got two. not only is bernie gaining on hillary, but you have the possibility of biden. two major shows following her wherever she goes. >> biden is extremely strong on foreign policy. extremely strong in a way that hillary probably wouldn't be. neil: is there any sense you guys are getting if the markets go into, like a bear market, today not withstanding that that boomerangs on this race? the then attack for president bush senior is the crash didn't happen in the fall of '88. >> that's the gas theory, too. that's what he thinks is going to kill hillary's candidacy. >> it could. it turns the tide on the issues, but it would force hillary clinton to run against what barack obama's done in the last what will be eight years once the presidential season kicks in, or seven years. i don't think it matters until you get down to the last three months of the president's term in terms of market. >> whether it's market or the economy, that's the point why jeb bush has time on its side. the negativity the

ideological and organizational bloodletting that for instance the democrats went through with george mcgovern in 1972, where you have a split within the party that the flank wins, and you end up in this case with the republicans losing 49 states? >> i doubt it, but you might. the reason i doubt it is i think, first of all clinton is likely to be in enormous trouble and therefore you're not in a lyndon johnson environment or even nixon prior to watergate, but secondly it may be, and this seems to bother washington a lot. it may be that trump and carson in particular represent a phenomenon that none of us understand. you tell me -- i can explain in an age where noise matters, carson? both are doing astonishingly well. it should be a reagan experience rather than a goldwater experience. >>> 30 seconds left, i have to ask you about comments you made this week in which you seemed to leave the door open you would be willing to return as speaker of the house, and we have all learned this week you don't have to be a member of the house to be speaker. are you serious? >> our mutual friend sean hannity

he certainly wasn't going to get beaten in 1972, the year george mcgovern was going to get killed in the nixon landslide. of this i was certain. well, a month or so before the election i began to get word from a pollster friend of mine about the biden campaign, how he was really doing something, how he may pull the upset of the year. well, he did. he beat the unbeatable incumbent. not only that, but he did it cleanly with no hard feelings. the day after the election the two of them, winner and closer, biden and the guy he beat, followed delaware tradition and traveled around the state together. as i said, no hard feelings. joe, and this isn't hard to figure given how it all started, may have decided, elected to the senate at 29 and a tragedy in his family that came so quickly, that his life lay in hands greater than his own. he may have decided that he should leave himself in those hands. well, he ran for president a couple of times, ended up being selected and then elected vice president and he never hurt anyone, by the way. all the hazard he's walked into he's also walked right out
