only those two teenagers from wisconsin remained behind bars.let matt and nick go, dropped the charges, which to a suspicious county and stock family was both upsetting and bu puzzling. after all, hadn't the head of csi found a blood sample that tied them to the crime? >> it must have seemed to be they were letting two murders back on the street. >> it did seem they were letting them go, but, guess nobody knew any different. >> in fact, some of the investigators remained convinced samson or livers or both had to be involved somehow. they didn't buy the notion that two drug addled teenagers happened to stumble upon it in the dark. after all they said the guy who led them to the farm was a local named thomas. >> but detectives could find no evidence whatsoever against this thomas or anyone else. and meanwhile, jessica reed kept trying to persuade investigators that nobody else was there besides her and fess ter, of course. >> i am not lying. if i was lying i would not still be going on about this. >> she'd been saying that for months. >> i know wh

there is the wisconsin case which is a challenge to the portion of the wisconsin legislature on a statewide basis. brought primarily under the equal protection clause. three-judge court in a opinion ruled it violated the equal protection clause. the case was argued in october and will be decided sometime between now and the adjournment in june. the second case is in maryland. it is an unusual test case brought by a pro se plaintiff who happens to be a today. steve shapiro. challenging a democratic gerrymander of a single congressional district in maryland. congressional district was historically republican for the last 20 years. the incumbent had one by 20% of the vote. instead of one man one vote standard, the legislature could have simply moved 10,000 voters out of the district which was overpopulated. to adjacent districts that were underpopulated. instead they took an accident cut it in half and moved in 330,000 new people into the district and moved through the 20,000 people out of the district or vice versa. converted it from a district which had a 12 point republican registration adv

i have a wisconsin accent, admittedly. i walked in, a social scientist from a flagship university in madison. i walk into a gas station and i say, hi, i am kathy from the university of wisconsin, madison? do you mind if i join you this morning? and they welcomed me in and you know, for the most part, very nice and friendly and welcoming. and opened up to me. but at the same time, they were telling me look, all decisions are made in madison, the state capital. they communicated out to the rest of us and we don't have any say in the regulations that are affecting our lives in the decisions affecting s our lives. in that way they were saying we don't get our fair share of attention. the resources they came across primarily as conversation about taxes. people have a perception that madison sucks in all of our taxpayer dollars, spend them on itself or on milwaukee and we do not see that money in return. and then finally, and honestly, it might of the 2016 presidential election, i think most importantly, was this feeling of not

in my own wisconsin, the way we trade with canada with regard to dairy. they protect the dairy industry. it is devastating for wisconsin dairy producers. trish: that is not right. if they want to trade with us, it has to be fair. >> listen, donald trump is looking out for the american worker is a great thing in american industry but you and i also have to be cautious and conscious what are negative impactses or unintended consequences of this. this is a bit of risky game. there may not be any, we can protect steel and aluminum, we'll pay more for wisconsin beer in aluminum cans, we'll survive that. we don't want to see it ripple in ways to have negative impact on economy. trish: i don't think it will. >> i have a lot of people who use steel, they make products and ship them overseas and sell them. the cost of raw steel goes up, might make them uncompetitive against other producers in other parts of the world. we might have helped iron range of minnesota and northern minnesota to other steel-producing states in the north but might have unintend consequence

i have a really good wisconsin example of this. i should say a really bad wisconsin example of that. kimberly-clark, a corporation that was founded in wisconsin in 1872 received over $3.3 billion in profits last year. one of the most profitable plants was a plant in menasha, wisconsin. early this year in january, they were told that the workers in that plant had met or exceeded every goal set for them. >> right. >> and then three weeks later they were brought into the same conference room and told that their plant was on the slate for closure. >> running out of time. so give me the goal of it. >> at the same time the company announced $911 million in stock buybacks. these are misplaced priorities. they're short-term profits for their shareholders, and they are not investing in the hardworking people who made those profits for them. and that's wrong. and we need to put a stop to it. >> well, i know it's a issue near and dear to you. >> yeah. >> which is why i wanted to talk to you tonight. we'll keep an eye on that vote and cover it

i talked to senators from michigan and wisconsin. i do believe, like i believed during bush, they were playing the voting machines. our producers called wisconsin and michigan and they say they have never spoken to barbara before. >> in terms of the bonus corporate america receives versus the crumbs they are giving to workers to kind of put the smooze on is so pathetic. jesse: earth to nancy, when you are worth $45 million, $1,000 is crumbs. but when you are making $80,000 a year like most of families, $1,000 is a loaf, not a crumb. chuck schumer said he wouldn't vote for the president's judicial not knee because of the color of his skin. >> the nomination speaks to the lack of diversity in trump's judiciary. he replaces not one, but two subtled african-american nominations. having diversity on the bench is necessary for the administration of justice. jesse: this shows schumer cares more about the cover one's skin and the kont content of one's character. former president obama had this to say. >> one of the things i'm proud of in my

case is awisconsin challenge to the apportionment of the wisconsin legislature. a three-judge court and 82-1 2-1 opinion, a that cases argued october. it will be decide between now and june. the second cases in maryland. it is unusual test case. brought by a plaintiff who , steve to be here today shapiro. challenging a democratic gerrymander of a single congressional district in maryland. it was one that was historically republican for the last 20 years , the incumbent won by 20% or so of the vote. meeting the one man, one vote standard, this legislature simply moved 10,000 voters out of the district, which was overpopulated, two adjacent districts which are underpopulated. instead they took a meat ax and cut it in half and moved in 330,000 new people into the district. and moved 320,000 out of the district. converted from a district which had a 12 point republican registration advantage to an 11 point democratic registration .dvantage to no one's great surprise, the republican incumbent was defeated and a democrat was eled reelected ever since. the third case wa

the legal argument in maryland was the firstendment, different from wisconsin. >> right. in the wisconsin case, the exwhornlings did win after a trial had based their claim on the equal protection clause. they said that the state legislature had cracked and paoced demtic votes in order to dilute their. effectivene that was a violation of the equal protection of law. >> brown: okay, so what diy you hear to the court? >> well, basically, i think there were thriee thngs. almost immediately off the bat, justice ginsbg and justice kennedy wondered is it too late to be dealing with this because the november midterm elections? anything the court decided in t favor se voters, was there time enough for the lower court to see that ama new could be adopt glbd because they don't want to decide things that are moot? >> that's right. and justice kennedy pointed out that if they did tt, wouldn't we-- wouldn't the court be upsetting settled expectations, disrupting the election process? so that was, , obviousry much on their minds and might portend a narrow ruling if enough justices feel

the private terminal when i come back from wisconsin. he was making an appearance for the primary. to brief me on what johnson said before the press gets to me. i'm sitting in a limousine on the tarmac at la guardia. had nixon's african-american driver was there. he starts yelling i knew it was going to happen. i knew it was going to happen when lbj announced he wasn't going to run again. i got out and ran on the jet that nixon was on. i got on the plane and i said johnson is out. he's not going to run again. nixon stepped out to the top of the steps on the plane and said i guess it's the year of the drop out. george romney has dropped out of new hampshire on him. nelson rockerfeller decided not to run earlier in march. we drove into nixon's apartment. we talked going in and i said i thought humphrey would be a tougher nominee. >> he did not expect to challenge senator robert kennedy? >> he didn't think kennedy was going to win the nomination. i didn't either. >> let's go back to the announcement of eugene mccarthy. who was he and why wa

liz: you, of course, a senator in wisconsin, you were pushing very hard, i was watch the feed on c-spane of the things you got elaine chao to concede is this thing doesn't have buy american, hire american but does have waivers, waivers that would allow companies to ostensibly wiggle out of using american workers and american products and materials, but she did say there are a fewer waivers than past presidents. >> so, the buy america provisions that exist always have waivers, but one of the things that we find out is they're not very transparent, so i have contributed to the buy america section of the democrats' version of the infrastructure bill, something that would require that all waivers granted would be publicized. so that we can actually use that information to help u.s. businesses fill gaps, if that's the reason the waiver was granted. but the idea behind this is to level the playing field for american workers and when we're using taxpayer dollars, we ought to be investing in american products and american workers. liz: i'm glad you brought up taxpayer dollars, dollars at all, w

what do you mean, dave barry will perform your wedding in wisconsin. scott, because he is a lawyer proved to them, to the satisfaction of "the new york times" anyway, that he could, that i could in fact legally perform -- you want to briefly give your reasoning for that, the legal? >> well it is late in the day and it is really is. oporific. >> scott has -- >> never mind. >> go ahead, scott. that doesn't matter. wisconsin has a provision allows for what is called, self-solemnizing marriages. meaning an exchange of vows. but i asked "the new york times" the editor, this is his business, right? he knows all of these laws. he says, well that only applies if the religion in question allows for self-so solemnizing weddings. one of the great things about being jewish there is something you don't know about being jewish. turns out that the jewish faith is one that allows self solemnizing weddings. exchange of brides and the bride and bride, groom and groom, whatever it is that that con tht con second crates the marriage, even dave barry, whether the marriage

wisconsin's motto is just one word -- forward. the people of wisconsin have never been afraid of the challenges that we faced. we have a strong, progressive tradition of confronting our challenges and working together to shape our future for the next generation. many of wisconsin's most successful companies are leaders in energy efficiency and renewable energy and clean technology. in 2014, one of wisconsin's major health care systems became the first in the nation to use entirely renewable energy. wisconsin companies are strong innovators and provide opportunities for workers of today and tomorrow as they lead the way. mr. president, i believe in smart investments by governments at all levels, by companies and institutions and by citizens. this will help us confront the challenge of climate change while positioning wisconsin for economic and ecological resiliency. this opportunity is great, and we must meet the challenge head-on, going forward, the wisconsin way. and i'd like to once again thank senator whitehouse for his laser f

terminal, when i come back from wisconsin, he was making an appearance for the primary, to brief me on what johnson said before the press gets to me. i am sitting in a limousine at the tarmac at laguardia, and nixon's african-american driver was there and a new it would -- he starts yelling, i knew it was going to happen when lbj announced i'm not going to run again. i got out of the limo and i ran down toward the jet nixon had come in on and he was walking through the jet and i got on the plane and i said johnson is out and he will not run again. nixon stepped out to this top -- to the top of the steps and he said i guess is -- it is the year of the dropout. george romney had dropped out of new hampshire on him. nelson rockefeller had decided not to run earlier in march. in two nixon's apartment and i remember telling him i thought hubert humphrey would be a tougher nominee and i thought humphrey would get the nomination. challengenot expect a robert kennedy? craig seated not think kennedy would win the nomination. i did not either. >> let's go back to the announcement of eugene mc

and april 2nd, they got to wiscons wisconsin mccarthy wiped the floor with him. and johnson's guys had polls and knew it was coming. >> at that point, between that and the tet offensive and having to boost up the troop numbers in vietnam. it was not looking good and johnson worried he suffered another heart attack and another term. he was concerned. >> nixon announced on february 1st, we flew up secretly on the 31st and nixon registered under the name benjamin chat man and took him to a hotel and announced february 1st and february 2nd it's a single column story in the "new york times." it's about the tet offensive. the sigh gone police chief and has a small revolver next to the v vietcong. and it dramatized it. >> galvanizing moment, wasn't it? >> it was. >> we talk about it last week. the full series available at c-span.org. let's talk about richard nixon. lost the presidency in 1960 1k3 loses the bid in 1962, the headline the political obituary of richard nixon and moves back to new york in the mid '60s. what was the state of the republican party that year? >>

one march happening in wisconsin.e after we wrap up the omnibus and that sort of thing i plan on doing that. >> let's talk about that. there's a $1.3 trillion bill that's -- covers a teensy bit of president trump's wall so he's selling that he's got the wall covered in a teen sy bit of a wy and we're paying for it, that's not mexico. >> that's right. >> but what about the rest of the bill. does it -- is it something you can live with? >> i presume so. it just got filed. it's long. >> what's missing? >> a lot of things are missing but let's talk about the segue between the gun issue and this omnibus. it didn't take bold new steps like including comprehensive background checks like we would like to see 90% of americans agree with. it does include the fix nics which is a small measure. and relief of the prohibition of government funded research into gun violence. which will be so important to informing this debate. but what i really wanted to highlight is something that i've been fighting for for a long time is upping ou

take the maryland case and the wisconsin case that we heard and another one from north carolina that's waiting in the wings and put them all together and bring all the lawyers in a room and shut the doors and let them hash it out and try to come up with the best test. it's fair to say he would not have made that suggestion if the court had come up with an answer to the wisconsin case that was set satisfactory. so bottom line, they think that it maryland went too far, but they don't know what to do about it. >> it sounds like the supreme court is going the way of congress. it's going to kick the can down the road. >> reporter: here's the difference. the supreme court has to decide these cases. one possibility, one exit ramp would be to say, you know what, you waited too long, republicans. you're coming up here saying that you'll suffer harm, but this redistricting was in 2011. now you come now. it's a little late. why should we take this case now? let the lower courts hash it out for awhile. that could be an exit ramp. >> justice correspondent pete williams at the supreme court. thank y

so the book is focused on wisconsin but people in rural small towns research was in wisconsin and to listen to people so i wrote the book so look at what the small places in my state to understand the feeling that many people have about not being respected and overlooked how that comes from real experience hoping for something better i hope the impact it would have to understand this concern of feeling like you deserve more wanting better for yourself people would understand not from people deserved to be treated this so i want to have a broader understanding. >> why did you decide to write this book? the mick actually started working on the book before the election with a different impact basically it was this book trying to figure out what the hell happened? what the hell happened to people that i thought understood or had certain values that we saw played out in 2016 as part of a conservative movement for more than 25 years going from william after buckley junior to sean hannity that is not a renaissance. [laughter] [applause] that is a disaster. movement that goes from ronald rea

i'm chuck todd here in merchandis -- in madison, wisconsin for this sunday's "meet the press." willen yoi it. but we begin with the sheer weight of scandal and controversy piling up around the president and making you wonder how much more can the system handle? how much more can the republican party handle? do they have a breaking point? is this the party of evangelicals yet they don't seem to have hit the breaking point with a president who as locked in a battle with a porn actress and a playboy model and reality tv star. and one said they had sex and the other was sexually harassed and suing for defamation. the white house denies all of the allegations. now the gop doesn't seem to have hit a breaking news from the president who is continuing to profit personally off the presidency with taxpayer money, with gop donor money as we learn from the rnc report and with gop party money. never mind the foreign government money that is all funneling into his private businesses which he never did d divest from. and they don't seem to have hit a breaking point from new revelations that t
