here in minnesota, we love prince. when the stage manager called prince before his halftime show at the super bowl, he said there will be a little rain. he said, can you make it rain harder? here's the deal, y'all. can we make it snow harder? to honorer place the past, to launch a national campaign, to bring some respect, e decency, an, som d a lot more honesty to politics? knows how to find higher ground. find that higher ground and rise above is to find common ground. it is working across lines, to do good for people. oru senator -- our senator, and our next president, is ready to do that work. my journey into politics began when one of our brightest, most brilliant stars, left us. i learned from senator paul wellstone -- you can give it up for paul. [cheering] >> and sheila! gov: that's right. and sheila. his last campaign was my first. i know that we all do better when we all do better. that means, all of us. every single one. every person from the heartland to the deep south. that is amy's call, to leave no one be

we have a strong tradition of that in minnesota.mphry and to paul wellstone and do it by the river because the bridge collapsed and we rebuilt it in this incredible sense of community we had during that time but also because i thought it was a symbol of crossing the river of our divide, which donald trump of course has helped create. >> i was interested to see you put the bridge collapse really at the sort of emotional heart of the start of your speech. in part because you are very well-known and beloved figure in minnesota politics, at least based on the margins you win reelection but not nationally known. to put a story, a minnesota story like that, hometown story at the heart of why you're trying to run, felt like the idea what works in minnesota can work for the country and i believe you but i don't know what about that practical achievement is something that i can imagine these days happening in washington. >> it wasn't just about working across the isle getting that money, which we did and got the bridge, this huge eight-line

in 2016, maybe they could take amy klobuchar's seat from her in minnesota. just two years later they start today make noise about that, but try it. klobuchar ended up winning by 24 points. she was able to spend a good chunk of the -- ever since that first race she ever ran in. and now as of this weekend she's running for president. and her national name recognition is low to start out with, at least for now. but her political effectiveness is high. both electorally and in terms of her getting stuff done, the numbers of bills she's gotten passed both under democratic and republican residence, the number of practical accomplishments she's brought home as a u.s. senator. i also thinks there's a little bit of an x. factor when it comes to amy klobuchar, which is that she's funny. and that might matter. i mean she's funny enough that it seemed like a heaven sent practical joke when god decided to dump this much snow on her outdoors no umbrella, no cover, no hat presidential campaign kick off speech this weekend in minnesota. >> hello, everyone. welcome america to

they call it minnesota nice. i want to show you a little bit of the backdrop here and give you a sense of the atmosphere. you no longer see the skyline of minneapolis. that was really a big draw here, but they did expect the snow. also behind us is the mississippi river, and you're going to hear her use that as a metaphor, metaphor for a connector, if you will, that runs through the river and brings americans together. that will be the focus of her campaign. it will be about the heartland, that she's coming from the heart, and people feel she tells it like it is, gets the job done. we've talked to many people here who say that over and over, and that's going to be pafrt hrt of campaign speech, if you will, later today. it's snowy, it's cold, but they've got hot chocolate and cookies and a heck of a lot of enthusiasm out here. it is, as you mentioned, frcrai going to be a very competitive field. it is her midwest roots that will attract the democratic party, not the progressives where the party seems to be moving

[laughter] and minnesota was the home of vice presidents. and the joke in our state is that new moms bounce their babies on their knee and say, one day you can grow up to be vice president. [laughter] we hope to break that trend. we have some great elected officials here. i know the mayor's wife is here. mayor johnson's wife is somewhere. thank you. over there. and we have representative kathy stack is here. sherry detsky. suzanne harvey. david cody. michael pettersson. skip cleesker. and mike o'brien i think -- cleaver. and mike o'brien i think is here. no, i'm not done.

for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition. >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from minnesota is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i am proud to stand before you as a member of the most diverse freshman class in our nation's history, sent to washington to inspire collaboration and rebuild the american people's faith in their elected leaders. but much of our tenure in congress has been spent under a shutdown, proving the american people were right to nand change. in this dynamic must stop. to that end representatives houlahan, slotkin, allred, and i rallied and energetic group of freshman members, one third of the class, behind the shut down to end all shutdowns act, and as we near agreement and the fear and immediacy of a shutdown fades, will i not forget the conversations i had with federal employees, parents, and business owners in my district, the real human stories of this shutdown. it would be irresponsible and unforgivabl

i was told the story of a somali family in minnesota that i met. the parents had been through 9/11 in our state. they had not experienced any discrimination, and then sure enough, in the middle of the heated rhetoric, they go to dinner with their little kids, and a guy walks by and says go home to where you came from. the little girl said, mom, i don't want to go home, you said we could eat dinner. think of the words of that innocent child. she only knows one home, that is my state, our country. that is the kind of thing, whether it is the racial hatred we have seen, the anti-semitism, whether it is what we have seen with the horrible words against muslim brothers and sisters. these are the things going on right now in our country. georgia -- at in little warmer -- [laughter] sen. klobuchar: yesterday i was in south carolina. an incredible turnout there in greensville and then in columbia. anyway, we did these things there, and before that, we were in atlanta and i got to meet with stacey abrams and we did an incredible meeting on voting rights. to

reminds me of some lakes in minnesota. and i have come here many, many times to help gene and maggie and other candidates. i did your democratic dinner once that i will never forget, i memorized all these things will new hampshire that will be forever ingrained, although my favorite thing, i think i used this here, is you were in the home of presidents as? franklin pierce and jeb bartlett, and minnesota was the home of vice presidents as in walter mondale and hubert humphrey. the joke in our state, of course, is new moms bounce their babies on their knee and say one day you can grow up to be vice president. and i hope to break that trend. so we have some great elected officials here, i know the mayor's wife is here, mayor johnson's wife is somewhere. >> vicki, yeah. >> and we have representative cathy stack is here, i think. sherry dudtsky and suzanne harvey, right, david cody, michael petterson, skip cleaver and michael bryan is here. there are like 500 people. i'm not done. i'm well aware it's not a one-card state, right

he almost got minnesota, it was hillary's latest victory. ground,that common that's what i devote myself to, to all of you today, to tell you i will never stop working. we are going to win this race and we going to do it the right way, the new hampshire way. [applause] i will take a few questions and we will talk to everyone. >> thank you for coming here. of all the 34 legislations, i don't know if there's one that stands out in my mind, it's the one about consolidation. >> take you. >> every issue that you talked about today is a choice between democracy -- that's where we are going with it. there are two choices. so that's where this whole thing is going. so now that you have that piece of legislation, -- it didn't pass yet. i thought you were going to ask me which legislation. >> that also means that consolidation means job lines and it also means that i would make maybe one 50th of what the ceo makes if i am lucky. >> especially in a state of values small businesses. so, what is going to follow from that legislation? >> let me first star

i would call everyone out of minnesota, they would not call it back. i find looked out at my address books and i said i raised $17,000 from ex boyfriends.

[laughter] sen. klobuchar: i come to that race with that same jimmy carter grassroots approach. i am someone that has won despite all of this that i told you. i have won every single congressional district three times in a row in minnesota, including michele bachmann. [applause] sen. klobuchar: i won a bunch of the trump townie -- counties, the rural counties. he almost won minnesota. it was hillary's lightest of victory across the country. i did it by meeting people where they are, by finding the common ground. that is what i devote myself to, to all of you today, to tell you i will never stop working. we will win this race. and we will do it the right way. the new hampshire way. [applause] sen. klobuchar: i will take a few questions and then i will walk around and talk to everyone. >> good morning. thank you for

i ran the biggest public law office in the state of minnesota, got to the u.s. senate, and i've worked very hard to stand my ground on really important issues whether it be things like doing something about climate change and our environment or making sure that we are progressive in how we handle our economy and stand up and have people's backs. but i also am someone that looks for common ground. in fact, in the last two years, 34 of the bills where i was the lead democrat got signed into law. i don't think president trump noticed it, but that happened. [ applause ] and i think what we need right now in this country is less of this grandstanding and gridlock, less of the shutdowns, which we just saw, and the putdowns, and much more of moving our country forward. i announced my candidacy in front of the mississippi river for a reason last weekend. i didn't think it was going to be 17 degrees with a bunch of snow, but it was. and i did that because i wanted to make the point that we need to cross a river of our divides. we need to walk over the sturdy bridge that

senator amy klobuchar of minnesota announced her run for president on sunday in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. our suzanne malveaux was right there with her. >> reporter: senator amy klobuchar jumping into the 2020 waters, making the announcement along the mississippi river in her home state of minnesota. >> let us cross the river of our divides exami divides and walk across our sturdy bridge to higher ground. >> reporter: the 58-year-old third term senator talked up her heart land heritage and her ability to get things done. >> i will look you in the eye. i will tell you what i think. and no matter what, i'll lead from the heart. >> reporter: klobuchar joins an increasingly crowded democratic field, including fellow senate judiciary committee members cory booker and kamala harris. it is from that committee perch last fall that klobuchar captured the national spotlight with her questioning of then supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> so you're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before or part of what happene

good turnout there despite the very minnesota conditions.klobuchar say she will bring to this race? >> reporter: it's quite amazing when you think about that. you see that snow cap on her head there. yeah, she stood out there, no gloves, no hat to deliver this address. it's a balmy 17 degrees, but despite that, hundreds of people came out this afternoon. it was an incredible display of strength and grit as the senator delivered her message, officially kicking off the race. i had a chance to ask her, actually, what makes her so unique, what does she bring to the table here when she's got such formidable opponents, and she said, look, she's the one who's delivered for minnesota many, many times. she's never lost a race here. the people here in her home state love her. they know she gets a lot done. on capitol hill, she has a reputation for working across the aisle with republicans to pass lots and lots of legislation. that's what she's emphasizing. that was her pitch today. it really is her introduction to the rest of the country as to who she

a couple years before, somalians in minnesota had a major outbreak.in 2018 tre were well over 300 cases of measles related almost exclusively to people not vaccinating their children. jane: what should be done? should the children be prevented from going to school and mixing with other children? that is a you kno very difficult situation. certainly if there is not a compelling reason for a chd not to get vaccinated, and by compelling i mean a medical reason or serious religious reason.ob the m we get into is when people have philosophical reasons, which is a broad category which allows people w'o really don'want to get their children vaccinated to not have them vaccinated. i have always been of the feeling that there should be some degree of strictness in allowing exemptions. now, obviously there is a responsibility to the community. so if the child can get vaccinated but the mother or father doesn't want them to get vaccinated for "philosophical" reasons, there should be some restrictions placed on the child, for example, with regard to schools. jane

democratic senator tina smith from minnesota, thanks for joining us this morning. >> happy to join you today. >> is congress going to take this step to stop the president? >> well, i think it is clear that the president has circumvented the will of congress. a couple of days ago, congress voted overwhelmingly for a package of border security that included 1.375 billion for a border wall. now less than two days later, the president has come out with an emergency declaration that i don't think he has power to sustain. even the president yesterday indicated that he wasn't sure, he knew he would be challenged in court on this. i think it is important that congress stand up for our constitutional responsibilities and duties as described in the constitution. >> you said the president should spend more time reading the constitution, less time on attempts for a power grab.
