mr. garrett graves from louisiana. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from louisiana. mr. graves: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the gentleman. i promised to consume time and conserve the lake. mr. speaker, lake pontchartrain is perhaps not a very well-known lake. it's actually the second largest saltwater lake in the united states. but it wasn't always this way. lake pontchartrain is a result of coastal land loss in louisiana has this-h this intrusion of saltwater that has fultly changed the ecosystem of that lake and the communities. this is a lake that serves as the water shed for 16 perishes in louisiana, four counties in mississippi, and most importantly this lake takes the runt of the surge from two canadian provinces and 31 states. you see, mr. speaker, what happens is each time we have these high water years on the mississippi river system, which drains 31 states and two canadian provinces, there is an emergency relief valve that sends water through the spillway into lake pontch

mr. president. i yield the floor. >> all right, garrett haake has been with me and he continues to be with me. he's at capital hill joining us as well, "new york times" correspondent mark leebovich and jonathan alter. mitt romney is going to vote to convict the president of article one of the impeachment clauses abuse of power. he will vote to acquit on the obstruction of congress. this has been something we have been speculating upon for some time, but now he has said that this is going to be what he's going to do. is it your view that he will be the only republican to do this? >> it is. and ali, make no mistake, we just witr witnessed something truly historic. never in a presidential impeachment has a senator of the same party of the president being impeached voted for hthis. they have always said inside was this man of conscience, someone very much guided by his faith, the legacy of his father, george romney, deciding to vote against his party and stand with his oath before god to follow his conscience and convict this president. i was struck that he said he wanted to hear from john bolton

garrett haake at an early polling location in henderson, nevada. mr. memoli, we'll start with you. joe biden has been spending a lot of time in south carolina. in recent days, it looks like his campaign is refocusing its efforts there in nevada. how is he building support there? >> reporter: craig, there's a lot of questions from the outside about whether the former vice president would be better suited to spend these next weeks shoring up that firewall in south carolina. we've been talking about it throughout this whole campaign. the biden campaign sees a strong showing here in nevada actually as an important bridge to south carolina and then on to the super tuesday states. we've seen that in the past weekend as he's been running all over the state and courting key constituencies, including organized labor, latinos and frarks. there is indications he's poised for his strongest showing thus yet. a new poll showing bernie sanders in the lead with 25%, but biden not far behind with 17% and elizabeth warren next in line, 13%. this is something of a down payment from the biden campaign

about garrett and ivanka because relationship with rupert murdoch and how his family and have a vacation together. what you make of that relationship what you think that jared and evocative learn from mr. murdoch? >> guest: it's an interesting thing because jared kushner, when he was about 25 or 26 years old, bought a weekly newspaper called the new york observer. and people who works there, at the time sort of understood his politics to be kind of left centrist. and many of them told me that over the years they would be surprised that jared kushner would come in on monday morning and he would say well, ivanka can i were with rupert or roberta wendy murdoch when they were married, and spoke about their weekend trips. first it was sort of a social thing, and then jared kushner began espousing more conservative ideas, and his newspaper, on his editorial page in the new york observer did too. and people thought more and more as in the model of proper murdoch publications where's understood that the publication served a particular agenda. >> host: absolutely. you know one of the things i think this book does best is it really details every chapter of president trump's real estate career.
