pat roberts, thank you. just as i wanted from day one to be on the senate finance committee, when i served in the house of representatives, i came to the house as a staffer in 1982, but i won my election in 1992 to the house. the democrats were in the majority, and i asked for five committees. because if you don't ask, you don't get, and i didn't get them all, but i did get on ag, and i got on energy and commerce. staffer, i fell absolutely in love with the debate and the work of the committee. it was empowering to not just me, but my constituents, my family. i used to watch my dad come up and testify before the appropriators in the levee board districts about how much money they needed to keep the floodwaters at bay. not a thought, how wonderful is that, that an american citizen can come up and testify before the committee and tell them about what is going on? so with that love of committee i did get a little greedy, and i asked for lots of committees. john dingell was a favorite of mine. we lost john this

pat roberts finds the threat extremely counter productive.tor cory guardnen calling t the tariffs a bad idea, plain and simple. it comes while trump taunted mexican officials. the president tweeted, quote as a sign of good faith mexico should immediately stop the flow of drugs of people into our country and southern border. they could do it if they want. austin, okay, so the president is taunting mexico, right? there's talks supposedly going on here in the u.s. he throws that bomb from london. so could it work? could it work to scare mexico and trump get what he wants? >> i don't think so. i mean if one got the sense he was doing this, he started it by tweet before he left for his trip. you got the sense he was doing this to try to distract from other news, whether it was the mueller press conference or what have you. two-thirds of the imports from mexico are parts and supplies to u.s. manufacturing. this would be a direct tax on u.s. manufacturers. that's why you've seen normally republican groups including the senators you mentioned but u.s

then you have people like pat roberts, who is on the head of the agriculture committee in the senate. arguing this is useless, that this tactic from the president is counterproductive. but republicans really divided here. they say they understand the president's frustration with mexico. but perhaps this isn't the best way to go about it. there's a big meeting today on capitol hill where senate republicans will meet with officials from the white house and the justice department, where the white house is hoping at least that they'll be able to, you know, quell any concerns from republicans on this issue. meanwhile, senate leaders are telling members if they have concerns, they should go directly to president trump, call him on the phone. that's what they have done in the past, but you know, a lot still to be worked out today. >> yeah. >> and we're just getting in that senator lindsey graham, who you mentioned, said the following regarding president trump's tariff plans. i support exactly what president trump is doing. mexico needs to change. they're letting about a million people walk t

overtones, but it's not blatantly religious in the way we will think of it with jerry falwell or oral roberts or pat later on. >> he puts out "the conservative 1953.in it shows there is not only this other point of view, but that it also has this very proud anglo-american heritage that stretches back a couple of centuries, and he instantly became a spokesman for really what became a movement. what did the book accomplish and what was the reaction? it is still obviously in print at this point. it's very heady stuff, not your typical the seller material, and yet, that is what it became. >> that's right. it went through seven additions during his lifetime. the last was published in 1986, just about eight years before he passed away. even to the beginning, most likely, this would be the last revision. the revisions do matter. this is not just a change of a name here are there. in particular, each edition changes the last chapter so it kind of looks more at what is happening. the original title, interestingly enough, was called "conservatives route," because kirk thought all conservatism would be a rearg

international blockbuster of braveheart and you played robert the bruce was asked to come in for the english prince in it and they said the casting director pat's pollock said no no you want to come and play with the bruce but you can't because it's been offered to a movie star so forget about that come in to meet mel and talk about this role so what did i do i went in to have a no work for 9 months. and i and he said so you want to talk about this role of the english when i said no i'm not here to talk about that here to talk about river so you told me you could be edward the 2nd yes of course the school is clearly a case that's correct and i was in there for an hour and a half and it was a look of a gun. casting director like crazy talk about this and he said so ok well it was great to meet you you know want to talk about the other guy i said no i'm good good luck with the movie and i left and kicked myself for days afterwards and i haven't worked for 9 months woman doing but i got a phone call 10 days later and i was asked to come back to see him i was a crisis over there now i'm something wrong you know and turned out that the actor who'd b

robert mueller's investigation wound down. it had been an open question in the white house whether flood would stick around to help with the looming proceedings in the house. but white house counsel patcipollone cipollone's responses or non-responses to the house's oversight. >> changes at the white house. sarah westwood, thanks so much. >>> moments ago president trump tweeting that tariff is a, quote, beautiful word indeed. but many republican lawmakers and business leaders beg to differ with that sentiment. we'll talk to one of them about the potential damage a trade war with mexico could do. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." plants capture co2. what if other kinds of plants captured it too? if these industrial plants had technology that captured carbon like trees we could help lower emissions. carbon capture is important technology - and experts agree. that's why we're working on ways to improve it. so plants... can be a little more... like plants. ♪ i can choose from all their different hotel brands... like a doubletree for my cousins. a homewood suites for my uncle. a hampton for my sister and her kids. and the waldorf astoria beverly hills for me. can i get a..? thank you. boo

conservatives like jessie helms, with conservatives like robert bird of west virginia, with some of the more liberal eastern catholics like ted kennedy, like patupport those exceptions. the second thing we discovered exclusively, willie, is in the current context of the 2020 debate, biden does stand alone in continuing to support that hyde amendment which bans federal funding for abortion with some rare exceptions, including the life of the mother, including rape and incest now. so that sets him apart from all of his competitors. the female competitors, for example, who are all senators are co-sponsoring legislation to repeal hyde. and the reason this is happening now, willie, is because of all of these state laws which are seeking to essentially end abortion in some of these southern states, and these competitors and these female senators feel that the way of protecting roe is by caudifying hyde among other legislation. you heard biden say there that if it comes to it, he would himself also support legislation to caudify roe, but right now he's not there in terms of the number one most obvious way to do that which is through the hyde amendmen
