>>reporter: that's right the two hours from now, senator tammy baldwin of wisconsin will be reintroducinghat's known as the roca act it's 2345i78d after this town and this paper mill behind me which was shuttered a few years ago des mating the local economy. local politicians blame hedge funds. years ago, but six months before the factory closed now the brokaw act aims to restrict activists investors by requiring them to reveal stakes greater than 5% in four days instead of ten to say whether they have a short position, to disclose whether they hold a steak threw derivatives. initially the bill didn't go anywhere it was initially put forward last year but senator baldwin has found a new partner in the republican senator david perdue of georgia, making this bill now bipartisan it also has corporate support from places like home depot. critics say it's unfair. the paper industry had been declining for years before they came in and factories had been closing before the activists even arrived in a case study by duke university found that "hedge fund activists played essentially no role in the

senator tammy baldwin has come up with legislation to lower the age to 55. if we do it in steps, it ensures health care for everybody, which is something every american deserves. his family, they benefit from the best health care available in the united states. don't the rest of the american people deserve the same thing? >> thank you for your time, sir, i appreciate it. >> thank you. appreciate the invitation. >>> i want to turn to president trump's rally in phoenix tomorrow. the mayor says now is not the time for that. i want you to listen to what he told cnn's jim sciutto tonight. >> this is not the time for a visit of this nature. it's so shortly after a woman was murdered by neo-nazis and white supremacists. the president failed the people of the united states of america, by failing to unequivocally condemn the nazis and the white nationalists and the white supremacists. and to then, so shortly thereafter have a campaign rally in phoenix. >> let's discuss now. joseph pinion, cnn political contributor, maria cardona. do you agree with mayor greg stanton?

one of the senators who will take part in the hearing is wisconsin senator tammy baldwin who joins me now. senator, thank you for joining me. i'm just -- it's really important to me that people understand it doesn't matter what happened in the senate last week, that obamacare didn't get repealed. this is a way to kill the individual markets without any legislative action. >> there's no question about it. and the fact that our president has threatened to withhold these payments, has been very vague in the past about whether they will be made in the future has already led to harm for people. there have been insurance companies that have pulled out of marketplaces because of the uncertainty posed by his threats or his lack of commitment. and people will be harmed. and i have heard especially since our consequential vote last week colleagues on both sides of the aisle call on this president to make good on these payments because otherwise, he will be destroying and sabotaging the marketplace adding additional instability that does not have to be there. and especially harming people who ha

and in a few hours from now senator tammy baldwin will be addressing residence and reintroducing a bill after brokaw it would require hedge funds to reveal stakes greater than 5% in a four day window rather than the current ten days they would also have to disclose short positions and say whether they're working with a group of other hedge funds. lastly twhoeshgs ha last, they have to reveal all of the positions held in derivatives. she is a democrat from wisconsin and signed on a new co-sponsor, david purdue, a republican from georgia. she also has the backing of businesses such as home depot. starboard took a stake in the owner of the mill. the company that oenld the mill back in 2011 the former wasaw paper ceo said the public criticism caused potential acquirers, lenders and customers to balk. we'll have more details whether wh we speak with the senator later today. >> we'll look for that leslie, thank you. >>> we head to a quick break don't miss steve liesman's interview with stephen ma nuchin' on the next hour and lululemon reporting after the bell don't miss our interview with the

about two hours ago, senator tammy baldwin, a democrat from wisconsin, addressed a group of people herethe brokaw act. and this time, with the republican co-sponsor, senator david purdue of georgia. now, the bipartisan bill would restrict activist investors by narrowing the window that they need to disclose both long and short holdings greater than 5% as well as whether they act in a group of other hedge funds and hold stakes through derivatives. why is this hedge fund legislation named after a town of 250 people? well, this mill was shut down six months after star wars took a stake in warsaw paper. people here, including senator bald win, blamed the activist for the closure. >> so often, not always, but so often their focus is on jacking up the stock price, for maximum profit, but without a view to the long term. without a view to the workers, the communities, and the companies that are impacted. and so it's creating upheaval in many instances this adds transparency it's kind of like an early warning system >> reporter: now, critics say that the bill unnecessarily scapegoats activists

this bill, which i introduced by senator tammy baldwin, has passed the health committee and i look forward to seeing it signed into law one day as a result of the advocacy of many who are here. in addition, the bipartisan military and veteran caregiver services improvement not would expand eligibility for the va caregiver program to veterans of all generations, and not just the post-9/11 generation. this is a program that helps veterans who were wounded, ill or injured fine supporting resources to those who have taken on the caregiver role for them in the lifespan respite care reauthorization act would authorize $15 million per year over the next five years to allow full-time caregivers to take a temporary break from their responsibilities. this respite care is crucial. it protects the health care coverage increases the need for long-term care and allows individuals who remain -- need care, to remain in the comfort of their own homes. despite their enormous sacrifice, military caregivers typically do not receive awards and admiration that american veterans deservedly do. we must never forg

now brokaw has become the namesake for a bill being reintroduced today in the senate by tammy baldwina democrat from wisconsin and cosponsor by republican david perdue from georgia. the bill does a couple things, focused on disclosure it requires them to reveal their stake of greater than 5% in four days instead of ten to say whether they have a short position, to disclose whether working in a group and require derivatives to be included in the disclosures. some say, especially some on the activist side say the mill would have shut down regardless of starboard's involvement. warsaw paper had been closing mills for years before starboard came in resulting in 550 total job losses we spoke with the former ceo, hank newell who said he had a deal for the mill but that fell through after starboard criticized the company starboard did not respond to our request seeking comment, but sources we spoke with say activists are concerned about this bill, especially with the new bipartisan support as well as support from corporate america, including home depot. >> wow that is something, leslie. dark

i'm tammy baldwin, and i have the honor of working for wisconsin. we have a long and proud tradition of making things -- and,, ships, motorcycles, yes, cheese, brought, and beer. we possess one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the nation, supporting a large share of our workforce and exporting goods all over america and the world. however, for too long, big and powerful multinational corporations have dictated how with foreigndeals .cquisitions it is sadly wrong for washington to leave our workers behind with shuttered factories and lower wages. that's why i've been fighting for years to build a made in america economy that rewards hard work and helps workers get ahead. wisconsin families depend on our manufacturing jobs, and i believe if we give our workers and manufacturers a level playing, they will compete, and we will win. to level the playing field, democrats are proposing a better deal -- a better deal that prevents trade deals from hurting our workers, takes on china's cheating, and puts an end to rewarding companies with tax cuts for
