i saw debbie stabenow say it is an election year and they want those families in those states to sufferasically is what she said. i would like to have maybe your producers bring on some representatives and talk about the farm bill, which is be very consequential to a lot of people. and then the other thing she mentioned is there is actually two bills in congress. this i believe. that congress wants to raise their pay. i look forward to c-span showing the back and forth about whether they deserve a pay r couple days ago, i have one more thing to mention.a gentleman blamed the president out our cost of living allowance and personal security. i looked that up, and that was a bill. in 1975, so that was 50 years ago. formula and it has to do with inflation. is a very complicated formula, but it has nothing to do with the president. it was a bill that was passed in 1975. host: i do want to follow-up on the story you mentioned about members of congress asking for a pay raise. d a bit. here is a story in the "washington post." do members of congress need a pay r say yes. they have given out rai

will decide control, nevada and ohio, both seats now held by democrats and after michigan's debbie stabenowretire, that race has gotten interesting. the primary there isn't until august, even as fund-raising is moving at a torrid pace. joining me now nbc's mark murray, matt gorman, republican strategist and former senior communications adviser for tim scott for america is here as well. i think we can say without question this is going to be one of the most expensive, nastiest and arguably consequential battles for control of the senate we've ever seen. what's this campaign season going to look like? >> oh, well, chris, i think you summed it up really well in montana, ohio, and across the country with this presidential election as well, but let's be clear about this is the battle for senate control for republicans, and the magic number for republicans is netting two pickups. that would be guaranteed regardless of what ends up happening in the presidential race for a senate majority with democrats currently at a 51-49 majority. as we already know, republicans are the overwhelming front runner

senator stabenow and i were alarmed to learn about a crisis of care and leadership at a medical center in downtown detroit. in response, the senator and i called on the v.a.'s inspector general to conduct an independent investigation into the facility that was launched shortly thereafter. last summer the inspector general released its report which include recommendations to remedy issues found at the facility. one recommendation related to removing conflicts of interest within the peer review process. i have introduced legislation with ranking member boozman to the v.a. peer review act to act on the recommendations from that v.a. system. my question for you is can you provide an update today on the detroit v.a.'s implementation of the recommendations contained within the inspector general report? sec. mcdonough: i spoke to our director this morning and she had her monthly update with the director in detroit yesterday. on your question, recommendations 1, 2 and 8 are still open. 1 and 2 regard oversight of the surgery department. the next meeting with the ig is on june 10. i hope we can

would lower the barriers the enen entry for the next generation of farmers and glad to see senator stabenow with the act, i thought she was siing i the chair, and my crops act and we'll work to continue to see it's included in the final farm bill. i think when we center people we have a chance to get the public policy right so it's folks like you that i think we have to center to try to figure out a way forward. not only for your benefit, but for the benefit of the american economy, for families. another barrier new farmers face access to credit. according to the 2008 2022 study, young and beginning farmers are more likely to be credit constrained when compared to their more established peers. miss miss-- is that all right. close enough. why are they critical to their success? >> thank you for that question there, senator. you know young and beginning farmers are just that. they're young and beginning and oftentimes haven't had their chance to develop capital reserves limited credit their risk profile tends to be riskier compared to other farmers, and you know that's where the importance of

separately democratic senator debbie stabenow says, it shows just how far they have gone. unquote. guys? >>. >> thank you so much. jen, i want to throw this to you. it's interesting listening to the talk from donald trump over the weekend about retribution, still about the 2020 election. as donald trump gets back out there on the campaign trail, as the rnc clearly is still focused on the 2020 election and scenes of vengeance, how -- what's the biden campaign making of donald trump's re-emergence onto the campaign scene? >> when you saw his speech from last night in arizona, there is -- i think a lot of people say, these convictions are going to help trump because they helped him raise money, they helped motivate his base. listen to the argument he made last night. it was all about what i didn't get in 2020, how it was stolen from me, everything is rigged. each month that goes by there's some new development in his life which democracy is supposedly rigged. and that's the crux of the biden argument. when the president talks about trump's convictions, he doesn't say it's ter
