her district goes from toledo to ohio, all the way to the city of cleveland. she has already in only five years, the people of cleveland have gained the same affection for marcy as the people for toledo. you can see the love and respect they have. i remember once, madam president, going to a rally in toledo for president obama. people were excited to see him, of course. i guess a few people may have noticed i was there too. but when marcy walked in, someone screamed marcy, and it was panned momentum. she fights for the people of ohio, fights for her district. she is known as a fighter for working families. it is so fighting she reaches this milestone during women's history month. when she first joined the house there were fewer than two dozen women serving. she helped blaze a trail for others and told the stories of others who helped blaze wait for her in her book. she matters to the hundreds of thousands of ohioans she serves, it matters from the perspective she brings as the daughter of working-class family. she was the first in her family not tone go to col

district from the heart of cleveland all across the northern part of ohio through lor rain, sundusky and toledo and so i have parts of the number of communities, but amherst was kcompletely cut out however, there are many people who live in am hearst who work in the steel plants at lor rain. >> >> caller: absolutely. absolu absolutely, and this is what i want to ask and nobody has brought it up at all. a lot of the industry from lor rain has effects on the shipping, because people don't think about it, but the great lakes are a great source of shipping. what do the tariffs do as far as the jobs that aren't actual steel jobs, but do relate to the shipping of the steel -- >> okay. so thank you very much. >> that is a really good point how interconnected our production and distribution system is. i represent several ports on the great lake, and we have are the sue lock that is vital to the steel industry, because a lot of the ore comes from duluth and shipped dun to the mills in gary and cleveland and lor rain are, and so that is tied together, and the rail industry is related to it. and we are th

public money paid off from two thousand to two thousand and five during the presidency of alejandro toledo now accused of receiving bribes from other bridge yeah most. of it just. sort of being the view we said again. while the british wanted the lion's share of a multi-billion dollar highway project in the peruvian coast to brazil and they got it too late though has been charged with accepting a twenty million dollar bribe to steal them the business according to the head of all the bridge in bed or who confessed in two thousand and sixteen the final deal was struck in brazil. to go to copacabana beach prison. there's a hole in your stomach but is actually a hundred billion in my special interview program prosecutors are trying to extradite a letter from the u.s. to face bribery charges which he denies. the british didn't just pay off indeed all politicians the company promoted its interest by gaining influence over the political system itself in the early game. or not but i don't say you all would have. got to be in there but i'm over here and if you know your political scene almost in th

he has spent untold hours especially in toledo, ohio, where c ecilia has been combating this terrible affliction in our society. i ask unanimous consent to place the rest of my remarks in a different place in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. last week the house passed another giveaway to wall street, siding with special interests and rolling back accountability in some of the biggest banks at the expense of taxpayers. it comes on the heels of last year's tax giveaway that will benefit the same megabanks. this congress bends over backwards to help wall street working families continue to struggle. wall street is making things worse. it is not just helping wall street with tax breaks, we are helping them with the rollback of legislation. let me explain what that means. in a series over several months i'm laying out the case for how wall street undermines american workers and in making work in america pay off. you remember one of the points i made was that american airlines announced that they were going to give -- to increase did

host: toledo, ohio, democrat, good morning. caller: thank you for listening to me.'m going to be 68 in a few days. i just have these opinions about what you are talking about. first of all, i don't think it's a matter of great change that we have a problem with. president johnson made great changes to the good and it was called the great generation, i believe. it was a great generation. men could go to work and women could stay home to raise the children. and's,asn't any if's, and bots unless the mother and father both had to go to work. that did not happen in my family, thank and i'm glad. poliohough my mother had when i was 1.5 years old. i respected her and i thought she was a little deranged but who doesn't think their parents are a little deranged? up to today.s what is your question? checks,on background universal bank round checks period. the only one that does not benefit from it are people who are felons, unfortunately, and they have to wait number of years to get to buy a pistol or anything again. i think they are the only ones who are hurt by that. sellin

she joins me now live from toledo. you know the gop reaction hasn't been good. i want to play a bite from senator orrin hatch. here's his reaction tonight. >> whoever advised him on this is -- ought to be reprimanded. in all honesty, it's not going to happen. it's going to cause higher prices and make us left competitive in the world marketplace. >> there's been a lot of backlash domestically and internationally. these announcements don't come into next week. do you think they still happen? >> i think that all details haven't been released yet and obviously unlike senator hatch, i represent industrial america. and here we have republic steel, us steel, alcoa,the list goes on. and we understand the delicate nature of tariffs but we know america hasn't had a trade balance in over a quarter century. right now, over 700 workers in ohio have been pink slipped unless something happens soon. we know we have to resurrect this steel industry in our country to give it a fair trade level playing field. the president is inching towards that. we look forward to the details.

alvarez toledo, the president of child and family serves in new hampshire, i promised i would join his efforts and participate in the 2018 sleep- out which raids money and awareness for new hampshire's homeless youth. so on friday, march 23rd, i will be spending the night outside in downtown manchester, participating in the 2018 child and family services sleep-out. but like any good governor -- where is he? there he is. thank you, sir. wait, it gets better. because like any good governor, i know when there is an opportunity to bring awareness to an issue that is important to all of us, to shine a light on something that needs a light shined on it, you shouldn't do it alone, and i know it's very hard to say no to the governor, especially when you're a commissioner. i see our commissioners out there. so i will be asking all of the commissioners and their teams to join me as well. bundle up. bring your sleeping bags. let's raise awareness and get these kids the help they deserve. thank you guys so much. i saw him jump out of his seat right there. we're not sharing a sleeping bag, george.

they held a ceremony in south toledo this morning, she is the fourth active female serving in the coastghest rank in water rescue. mrs. duffy who is also a mother of two children says this is the best day of her career. >> it is the best day of my career not just for me but for everybody who has helped me in this long journey to become a serviceman. >> [ inaudible ] was the first women to earn this badge in 2002 and this happened on national women day. >> breaking down barriers and a great accomplishment for her. >>> history is being moved. how a statue at san jose city hall became a source of controversy. >>> also our meteorologist will be back with a complete area forecast. we will take a look at this weekend's forecast and beyond. stay with us, we will be right back. >>> a controversial statue of christopher columbus is spending its last night in the san jose city hall.>> a group supporting indigenous people is asking for removal of the statue and they have found it a new home.>> reporter: this statue that was a gift to the city hall has been the gift that keeps giving headaches. it

gary cohn is a native of toledo, ohio and started his career at u.s. steel. he came from a community that has been built on this kind of industrial backbone. started his career there, went to the new york mercantile exchange. and is reportedly leaving because he's not supportive of the tariff move. i find that interesting. he is a democrat and there are a lot of people scratching their heads saying the protectionist agenda is more a democrat issue. we also build cars so there is push and pull when it comes to these issues. charles: the bend lum swings back -- the pendulum swings back and forth. when steve bannon left the white house economic nationalism it was thought would be abandoned. but it's in the forefront. peter navarro, wilbur ross. >> mr. cohn is in line with conservative thought. he is an establishment person. but when you see the establishment republican, you have the speaker the house come out today, paul ryan going against the president on these tariffs. i think there is a battle between the republicans. you have the freedom caucus siding with e

no, i went to cleveland and toledo and buffalo but they were not glamorous centers of world commerce but they were places that were being left behind. they were being left behind, because those corporations began focusing only on shareholder returns and on rigging the game, more and more money pouring into washington to get laws and regulations that help them but didn't do anything for most people, while most people with flat wages started to get a little bit angry. i started to pick up that anger in the 1990s. people were just irritated, frustrated. not getting ahead. they thought they were doing everything right and they were not getting ahead. is not just red states. it was also ohio and michigan and wisconsin and pennsylvania. it was places that have been democratic strongholds, union strongholds and yet people were getting upset. the system didn't seem to be working. : : >> but we are trying to decide between two people bernie sanders and donald trump. [laughter] and i said what? [laughter] first of all these two people are on opposite sides of the world on different planets how

i think made in toledo. this is an old one, so it's safe. and she took it to japan because it was impossible to export from the united states a spark plug to japan. they excluded our products completely. so marcy and i went over and everywhere she went, she had this spark plug. and people thought it was ecause she's kind of a spark plug. but stinsted was because of the exclusion of any product made in the u.s. going to japan, they blocked it out or had a completely open market. and that began a struggle that went on and on and on. and marcy never gave up. and we still haven't given up. and she was one of those among us, and we joined together to say, trade is vital, but it has to work both ways. nd so, i may give this to you. i just say this with deep feeling, because of her deep feeling and we spent days and days in japan and came back and spent days and days and pleaded with administrations, let there be reciprocity when there wasn't. so marcy, i'm afraid, you have done so much that it is forgotten what you were doing so many years ago. bu

. >>> investigators say they are working around the clock defined a motive for the south toledo man who slammed his minivan into the front gate of travis air force base. the 51-year-old died after that van, which was filled with gas canisters and pertain -- propane tanks broke into flames. they rolled out the possibility of an act of terror. investigators are talking with relatives and friends. but so far, no one has been able to come up with any reason for that collision. >>> time is 6:25. california attorney general says his office will continue to defend the rights of transgender people after president trump says he's moving ahead with a policy to banned them from the military. california will take every measure available to prevent donald trump's discriminatory action that harms or marginalizes transgender servicemembers or any other transgender americans who wishes to courageously defend our nation. president trump issued in order on friday saying transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the u.s. military with few exceptions. president trump first announced that policy la

drive through toledo, akron, or the rest of the rust belt. you will see ghost towns, you will see a lot of people who believe that, guess what, the government abandoned them. american manufacturing gutted. people who feel hopeless, and you bet that a lot of people addicted to opioids. they didn't feel like to have much option, did they? no matter the fallout, the establishment will always lean toward unfettered, unchecked global trade. white house economic advisor gary cohen, he tried to convince the president to drop his tariff idea to back down. >> i like conflict. i like having two people with different points of view and i certainly have that. and then i make a decision. but i like watching it, i like seeing it and i think it's the best way to go. like different points of view. >> laura: they battled it out in the oval office. gary: argued one point, no tariffs. and other people, bob lie heiser, wilbur ross, they went for the economic nationalist point of view. gary cohn's worldview lost out. at the populist vision that won donald trump t

i think the most striking where actually in the smaller towns from spokane to springfield and toledocson, the smaller communities there were voter registration drives and calls for action at the ballot box where we could actually see something happen in november. that might be good, that might be bad. but this time is definitely different. >> sirage, with what brian is saying, is there a sense, a g j gauge of the lingering effects of what we saw yesterday, a real change? >> that's possible. it's march and we have to wait until november to see the ramifications of this march and as it translates into electoral results. marco rubio is not up for re-election until 2022 and he is blocking whatever reforms the children want with respect to gun control. several members of congress more fixated on this issue and i think democrats as a whole are focusing on gun control as a means of getting people out to the polls. i also think that with president trump being in office, considering the fact that now he has signed this omnibus spending bill, that was a stab in the back to a lot of his base. d

[laughter] and toledo and buffalo and i they were not -- glamorous centers of world commerce. but they were places that were being left behind. they were being left behind. because as corporations began focusing on shareholder return and on rigging the game and we can only describe it as rig aring more and more again pouring into washington to get law and regulation ares that helped them but didn't do anything for most people. well, most people would flat wages started to get a little bit angry and i started to pick up that anger in the 1990s. the people were irritated, frustrated they were not getting ahead but thought they were doing everything right and they were not getting ahead and it wasn't just red states is now as we now call them. it was also ohio and michigan and places that had been democratic strong holds. union strong holds and yet people were getting upset. the system didn't seem to be working. nonow start of 2015 i'm out visiting various people some labor unions some others some blue collar people that i knew. some who were in government working at labor depart

climate change makes these algae blooms off the coast of toledo in the western basin of lake erie, climate change makes those blooms worse. it contaminates our lakes. it threatens the ohio businesses and communities that rely on lake erie, and i believe three summers ago lake erie, we had to get drinking water, bottled water to the citizens of toledo and the surrounding areas in northwest ohio because the water was not potable at that time. according to the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, we know one effect of climate change in the great lakes region has been a 37% increase in the gully washers, the heavy rain events that contribute to algae blooms. i've talked to farmers who have been farming in the western lake erie basin for decades just a few weeks ago, i did a roundtable in that part of the state. my staff member jonathan mccracken has done some before and since. they tell us they're experiencing heavier rain events more often and with greater intensity compared to even 15 years ago let alone in the life span of many of these farmers. hotter summers, shorter weurpbts
