visit to recent detroit, michigan.ou are watching c-span history weekend,eekend, every on c-span tv. >> welcome to the detroit historical museum. we are here at the frontiers to factory exhibit. this shows the history from detroit from basically before the city was settled, the actual city of detroit, up through the rise of the various industries. about a span of 200 years. the city of detroit itself was founded by the french in 1701. name.t is a french rait,ans that st representing the strait of water through the detroit river. this is a representation of what it may have looked like. there is a long history that took place before this. human habitation began in this ago withst 2000 years that we sometimes refer to as mountain builders that came out of the mississippi river area. they came to this region and left us these large burial pounds. at one point there were six of them in the city. now there is only one that remains. that is on the grounds of historic fort wayne at the river. several of the tribes living here

it's the oldest congregation for people of color in michigan. becausee a congregation we got tired of worshiping in our homes. we were members of for -- a first baptist for several years. because we were segregated, not participate fully as members of the congregation, we petitioned the territory of michigan for our own place of worship, that it was onlyin 1836 natural that we would be involved with the underground railroad in helping those freedom seekers on their journey to canada. was the destination, second baptist was the destination because of the committee. the committee would go down to those plantations in the middle of the night and instruct those slaves on how to escape. they did not help them escape, but they gave them instructions, what to do, -- what to do once they got across the mason-dixon. the vigilant committee was a group of abolitionists. he migrated to detroit. along with william run -- william monroe, those were the three who formulated the vigilant committee. those are the ones that would go down to the plantation to inst

host: let's talk to bob from michigan. caller: i would remind susan that there are other places in michigan than detroit. [laughter] guest: absolutely. caller: like a grand rapids. what michigan went through in early 2000's was a loss of our population and the educated kids because of the auto industry and the loss of that. yearsnt the last 10 rebuilding that through what we call the stem curriculum in the high schools which is science technology, mass, and i forgot -- guest: engineering. caller: right. there is a city and west michigan called kalamazoo where they privately started what they call a column as -- they call a kalamazoo promise which is any kid that graduates from kalamazoo high school have all of their college paid for privately, and this is done with private money. over the past 10 years, we have started to regain industry such and rebuilding the heavy industries like autos and the trucks. but also, concentrating on the more technology driven industries like ai and auto the mobility sections of the autonomou

the second baptist is the oldest congregation for people of color in michigan. one of the oldest in the midwest. we became a congregation because we got tired of worshiping in our homes. we were members of first baptist for several years, but because we were segregated at first baptist, not permitted to participate fully as numbers of the congregation, we petitioned the territory of michigan for our own place of worship. baptist, since its inception, has been active within the community and concerned about the well-being of the community. it was only natural, i believe, that we would be involved with the underground railroad in helping freedom seekers on their journey to canada. was a destination. second baptist was the destination because of the vigilant committee. they would go down to the plantations down south, in the middle of the night, and instruct those slaves on how to escape. they did not help them to escape, but they gave him instructions on how to escape and what to do once they got across the mason-dixon. second baptist was well known down there on

chrysler fiat, we had $4.5 billion investment announced in michigan.ou had gm, another $300 million investment back into the auto industry. 18,000 manufacturing jobs created in michigan. you are going to be faced with a choice in 2020. the president is exactly right. he said there are no winston churchills. but i do see quite a few benito mussolini play or less in the democratic field. and now it's about getting the trains to run on time in hawaii because they are talking about banning airplanes in ten years. the democrat is pushing a radical agenda. we are not going to turn far to the 2020. we will stick with the progress we've made. >> harris: i would imagine you get some pushback on any comparisons to mussolini, but i do understand the social is an aspect of it. so let's stay in the laying of the money, if you will. >> yeah, no, look at what they're proposing presocialized medicine, a complete takeover of health care, alienating private insurance, which over 180 million americans have. this so-called green new deal, there's nothing new about it. it'

and i'm in michigan, so it's not flint water. it's actually a question that last fewced in the weeks. how do we move water from flood-prone areas to drought-stricken areas? we have the technology to do so. haven't produced the public policy for doing so. and then finally, how to address the dignity of labor in an automated world. that byons have it 2030, 800 million jobs will have existed in that 2015. 64 million in the united states, contemporarythe workforce. it poses powerful questions for us to consider in a very short period of time. did water get put into the mix? >> water is also about justice, because where, people will move, what kind of jobs will be in some ways do they have access to clean, drinkable and effective water? and can we also begin to control some parts of our environment? -- funnynny think to we useo think that sandbags when we have powerful pumps that can move millions of gallons of water, because we have not deployed them for that purpose. we're thinking about the future where people live, thinking in som

railroad station in michigan.articularly in the city of detroit. faith and freedom go hand-in-hand in the city of detroit. african-american community is really built in detroit on a foundation of fighting for freedom, and using that as a part of their faith. >> continuing our special look at detroit, we learn more about the city's role in the history of the underground railroad, code-named midnight. detroit was often the final stop in the u.s. before freedom seekers made their way to canada. up next, we visit the second baptist church to learn about its role in the journey to freedom. >> detroit is known as a great him-- the gateway to freeze -- freedom. there is a statue commemorating that. on the opposite side there is one pointing back on this side. this was the passageway or the route to get to canada or to freedom. the underground railroad was a loose mechanism for the freedom seekers to escape to freedom. throughout the north there were safe havens, because the idea ones had to get across the ohio river from

this is important because of commerce, getting goods from the upper region in michigan and the rest of the great lakes, but also a strategic position. at this point, detroit was on both sides of the river. because of this, they controlled the entire span leading up to the rest of the great lakes. important from both a strategic aspect and in terms of controlling trade. following the french and indian war, new france became british. it was all seated to the british in 1763. right now you are looking at a really great model of detroit. this is how it maybe would've looked in 1792. this model represents the town and the new fort built by the british. this was after they had torn down the original fort, fort pontchartrain. you may notice it's strange the fort itself is behind the settlement. this would actually come back to bite the fort because when the americans took over, they notice, our cannons can't fire on the river. what good is a fort that can't fire on attackers from the river? that was eventually torn down and replaced with another fort. even though at this point in time it was

and i will tell you in michigan, health care is one of the number one issues.ear it every place i go. from farmers markets to restaurants, people are scared. and they feel that there's a hypocrisy here when the president won't defend pre-existing conditions. i will work with anybody to lower the cost of drugs to lower the cost of out of pocket expenses because that's all i hear about every day from all kinds of people. i will work with any republican but you shouldn't -- instead of trying to repeal the affordable care act, we need to work with each other to help lower prescription drug prices. that's what people want to see. and they want to see us work together to get it done. they're tired of partisan bickering. > uh-huh. you say they're tired of bickering. one republican who is going his own way on a bunch of issues is justin amash. you know about him. he posted something we don't see from a lot of your republican colleagues. he said after thinking it over, he has his conclusions that attorney general barr misrepresented the mueller report that trump engaged

one in michigan showing a majority in michigan. state where right now democrats are polling very well against trump but a majority don't want impeachment? in florida that number is higher of people who don't want impeachment. does that have an impact on you at all? look, you're in the swingiest of swing states. >> yeah, i am. >> and if somebody came to you and said impeachment is going to mean the difference between florida going red or blue and starting impeachment is going to push it red, would that have an impact on you? >> chuck, you know, i wish that i had the luxury for me to make every decision as a former law enforcement officer, nows a member of congress, based on how popular or unpopular that decision would be. i don't have that luxury. and as i said earlier, when you read the mueller report it is clear to me that the president abused his power, obstructed justice and tried to get others to do the same. we have an obligation to address that and take the action given to us by the constitution. it would have been great if r

residents of flint, michigan, drank and bathed in lead tainted water. this was years ago, but their nightmare is not over. residents are are finding out that all charges have been dropped against government officials. we'll find out why and get reaction from those who live there, next live in the "cnn newsroom." ♪ -i'm sorry? -what teach here isn't telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on car insurance. -what? ♪ -or maybe he didn't know. ♪ [ chuckles ] i'm done with this class. -you're not even enrolled in this class. -i know. i'm supposed to be in ceramics. do you know -- -room 303. -oh. thank you. -yeah. -good luck, everybody. -oh. thank you. -yeah.

by the way, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania we re michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania were all huge democraticthe real question is, and i — what are you inherently disagree with what you inherently disagree with what you are saying is the way that michigan and ms constant and —— wisconsin become democratic is by giving a straightforward, honest message and getting them to turn out. there are many more democratic —— democrats in the united states than republicans. and impeachment get in the way of that? we are pushing to do it now. this is something that is a multi— month, but not a year—long recess, not a six—month process. we've been pushing for hearings now to have this happen, that the american people see what in, make a decision and move on. in fact, this is something that is time bound and urgent. in a word... no, iwant something that is time bound and urgent. in a word... no, i want to a nswer urgent. in a word... no, i want to answer your question. you owe challenging me about being the person in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania... we were getting people to turn out and vote with th

michigan andmp won pennsylvania. there is an opportunity to be able to say we should be taking advantage of this global demand for example for clean energy focusing on climate change in a way that allows american workers to build american products here and export them over there. the idea of using this global demand, even if the u.s. called out of paris, every other country is still in and that means they will all want these product. even if this is a temporary aberration, we are letting time pass us by. awas in china meeting with number of mayors and they were showing the policy prescriptions that china adopted in order to be able to make the products to meet the global demand for climate change. one of the mayors says to me, when do you think the u.s. is going to get in the game on climate change? i said, i don't know. the president, congress, and the mayor said take your time. take your time. delay, believe me, and as you know, they are rushing to fill the gaps. that notion of competition that we are losing out in

look, the people — in michigan, what we're going to do is what we did.ctories in 2018 and the reason was that democrats turned out. in fact, what you're — there's a real question. and i inherently disagree with what you're saying. because what we're saying is the way that michigan and wisconsin and pennsylvania become democratic is by giving people a straightforward, honest message about what they care about and getting them to turn out. in fact, there are many more democrats in the united states than republicans. and impeachment, which i come back to, gets in the way of that core message. i absolutely disagree. what we are pushing and impeachment is to do it now. this is something that is a multi—month, but not a year—long process, not a six—month process. the whole — we've been pushing for hearings now to have this happen, let the american people see what it's in, make a decision and then move on. but in fact, this is something that is time—bound and urgent and that at some point it goes away. but if you don't get your way... no, no, i want to answer y

you predicted democrats were in trouble in michigan, not just in your district, in michigan broadly in> president trump, of course, ended up winning the state. now i'm seeing a new poll in michigan that has biden and sanders both beating trump by 12 points there. is that what you're seeing happening? do you think trump has lost michigan now? >> i don't think he's lost it. i don't think anyone has won or lost almost any state. i think the election is a lifetime between now and next november. i do think that if he doesn't deliver on trade issues when he says, you know, we had a theme during our last governor's election, fix the blank roads. i won't say it on national television. people want to see us working on these issues. when the president walks into a meeting and says i'm not going to work with you on infrastructure, that worries people. women who stayed home last time are very worried about what's happening on choice. but it could flip in a second. you don't get a trade deal. you know, trade mattered in michigan two years ago. >> let me ask you, just really quickly then, the whole

if you look at some of the states that this impacts, texas impacted and michigan impacted quite heavilyso these are important political states, you know, for the president's re-election campaign, so i think until that argument is made to him, i think he's making his base play like he usually does to try and drive up his base, so in that sense he wants to be hard on mexico regardless of if the deal is actually a good one or not. >> go ahead. it's also no surprise that the president loves tariffs. he thinks they are a very effective tool to getting people to comply to what his demands are and even the closest advisers around him from trade representative lighthizer to some of his white house staff are not seeing this as the right path forward, so since day one, since the tweet came out, a number of his advisers saying, you know, what this may not even go through. it's essential lit president's way of maybe sucker punching mexico into complying with his demands quickly, but ultimate lit president is the still holding firm because he does see this as an effective tool to get him to listen t

i don't see michigan staying red.: democrats joining the wave, calling for impeachment -- where do you stand on that? guest: the mueller report, which we all held our breath waiting to hear, there's clear examples of obstruction of justice. oversight, irnment know that there are violations of the annulment act. let me tell you what's important about starting and impeachment process. this president has taken his children, given them top security clearance -- when you this is information -- with no apparent reason for them to have it. they've been able to fly planes, but they have not divested from running their companies. when they travel all over the world, having side meetings for business, that is a violation. not divested.as he's making money. every time he goes to mar-a-lago, he's taking 60-80 staff with them, which i support, but they are paying for rooms in his resort with my taxpayer dollars. that is making him richer. you are not supposed to profit. no nothing, what stops nothing,-- if we do what stops the nex

michigan game gets closed down.usetts that also presented some favorable odds? >> jerry selbee: one of our players emailed me and he said, "massachusetts has a game called 'cash winfall.' do you think we could play that?" >> wertheim: i've heard that. >> jerry selbee: and so i got on the computer, i looked at the game. and once i researched it, i got back with him and i said, we can play that game. >> wertheim: we got another winner. how long did it take you this time to figure out that you could get a positive return here? >> jerry selbee: ten minutes. >> wertheim: that's when jerry and marge selbee developed a routine they continued for the next six years-- driving 900 miles to massachusetts every time there was a rolldown, and buying hundreds of thousands of tickets at two local convenience stores. then, they holed up. not in some fancy suite at the high rollers hotel, but in a room at the red roof inn, sorting the tickets by hand for ten hours a day, ten days straight. not so much playing the lottery, as working

river, and this is important not only because of from thegetting goods upper region in michigan and the rest of the great lakes, but .lso at a strategic permission they controlled the entire span leading up to the rest of the great lakes. following the french and indian war, new france became british. right now you are looking at a .eally great model of detroit this model represents the town and the new fort built by the british. this was after they had torn down the original fort, fort pond to train. themay notice it's strange fort itself is behind the settlement. this would actually come back to bite the fort because when the americans took over, they noticed our cannons can't fire on the river. what good is a four that can't fire on attackers from the river. even though at this point in majority of residents were french. a couple of hundred within the city limits itself, but a lot out.on the farms the whole city burning down, for provided a fresh start a whole new city plan, the bones of which are represented in the city today. a new territorial judge, as he was on his way to detroit

and that's because this is michigan and michigan is home to flint, michigan, and flint, michigan is homeof the worst manmade environmental disasters in this country's history, and the people who man made it were the government in michigan. the government which caused the lead poisoning of that city and its kids with a series of terrible policy errors that they should have known better to commit. so the new democratic governor takes over january of this year, and her first act is a direct response to what happened under the last governor, under republican governor rick snyder, whose legislation really did lead poison the whole town of flint. 15 state and local officials have faced criminal charges for the poisoning of flint thus far. a few are even facing charges of manslaughter. governor snyder himself has not been charged in connection with the flint water crisis created by his government. he may never be charged. but this week we learned that the new administration of michigan has taken an intriguing investigatory step. the associated press was first to report that state prosecutors ob

i am from a small town in michigan called adrian, michigan.hat made me want to move to detroit, i was able to go to the university of michigan, perhaps the best public school in the united states. thatt very lucky to get education coming from the background i did, especially. a game of class consciousness at university and realized [indiscernible] 2008 when i graduated, the height of the economic downturn. i think 70% were leaving the state, so we have our best and rightist students splitting. i thought that i should stay and use that education for something good for my people at my home. so i made a moral decision to stay. at the time i looked at it as staying home. i moved to detroit after college -- actually before college. i had one extra semester. i was here with no job, no friends and money and i wanted to stay. first job i found was in the newspaper, of all places. i called the man who then became my boss and talked on the phone because he wanted to see if i sounded white or black. detroit is the most segregated metro area in the united

history says the leaders in flint michigan are accused of a crime against humanity fine knowingly piping drinking water poisoned with lead into people's homes. has more from flint. in flint justice is long awaited and elusive after thousands of the city's residents were poisoned with lead tainted tap water some dying in others with long long illnesses but government officials accused of knowing about the danger but say nothing have paid little for their mistake key to the criminal case is the decision of government workers to begin piping water from the flint river into people's homes it was cheaper than the old water source but due to insufficient water treatment at least led into the drinking water prosecutors argue that certain officials should have known better if this is a plan if you and he. was but we've got. a hall says his one year old nephew died from the poisoned water that his mother unknowingly put into the baby's bottle and it was. other children showed it. well of mental delays linked to lead poisoning on friday a new team of prosecutors called a community meeting to expla

that's how he put together wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. he loses to joe biden by 17 points among older voters. 30 among independents. margin goes from 37 to 10. so he is losing his base, if you will, part of his 2016 base. it's the same against senator sanders. senator sanders numbers there. elizabeth warren, white non-college. even there, losing 17 points. he's underperforming where he was. again, he has a whole campaign to fix it, but he has work to do. >> you're seeing democrats make those arguments. joe biden pointing to numbers like that, the democratic electorate right now for nominating him. the other interesting thing for president trump is he has a much more professionalized campaign operation this time around that can help in some instances to drive up his base of voters. they are identifying voters in a way that the president trump's campaign did not do four years ago. that's an x factor where he and the republican party right now have a huge organizational infrastructural advantage over the democrats. so that could sort of chan

we see ships come back from the upper peninsula of michigan with iron ore, lumber, things that would transform the city of detroit into a major manufacturing hub. by the mid-1800s, detroit is already an industrial powerhouse with the detroit river bringing in resources from the upper peninsula and from the upper -- other places in the great lakes region. railroads being built with more and more miles all the time. a stockpile ofg resources that would be transformed into other things in the city itself. things like various types of metal, the shipbuilding industry re. iron and copper o this would turn into ships, railcars and automobiles. it is around this time that detroit gains its reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse. announcer: our cities shortstaffed recently traveled to detroit, michigan to learn about its rich history. to watch more video about detroit and other stops on our tour, visit c-span.org/cities tour. you are american history tv all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. sunday, on american history tv, world war ii army nurse corps describedal greats how she provided c

he ended up going to michigan state. afterwards, he served in the military for about five years during world war ii. when he came back from his military experience, he ended up getting his graduate degree at a scottish university, the university of st. andrews, earned that in 1952, came back in 1953. strangely enough, his dissertation became this million-copy bestseller, this book called "the conservative timing was just right. it hit the market from a chicago publisher, ended up going through seven editions over its lifetime, and it really did give -- there were a number of disparate voices that i would say were not leftist. they might be conservative to some degree, libertarian to another degree, but there were a number of voices that i think his book allowed some kind of forum for all of these voices to be able to speak right at the end of world war ii, right at the end of the korean war, so he becomes very important. we would never have had a very goldwater movement without kirk. we also would not have had a reagan m

a gentleman from grand rapids also here in michigan since developed a gasoline-powered engine and took it to the colombian exhibition in 1893 in chicago. he showed it off to everybody. a lot of guys from detroit, from lansing, chicago, milwaukee, cleveland, all of these people saw this gasoline engine. all of a sudden, the gasoline engine became the most popular way of powering cars. probably the biggest problem these early vehicles ran into was the lack of decent roads. the bicycle folk had started a movement called the good road movement to make the roads better. bicyclists kind of got some of the roads paved. but once you got outside of the city center, which in downtown detroit would have been a mile or two outside the core of the city, you were back on country roads. and in detroit, it is mostly clay. if it rains, you are in trouble. that was probably the biggest challenge for early motorists. they were constantly getting stuck in the mud. charles brady king started the king car company and put out a number of cars. most of them, handbuilt. he had not adapted the assembly line yet
