means tondeed what it make it in america. as our economy continues to strengthen, we must do more to ensure that workers can take care of their families. to do that, we need to raise wages, including a long-overdue increase in the minimum wage. we need to make health care more affordable and stop government corruption that worsens inequality. those are the core principles of house democrats for the people, platform for 2018. i will be giving a speech in september on how we can make government and congress work better for the people so that our government is more responsive and congress works more effectively and transparently. it is clear that we need to do more if we are going to unleash our economy's full potential and enable all our people to make it in america. washington, it is easy to point to the latest jobs report and say the unemployment rate is down, so things are going well. in part, that is true. but when you go out to the heartland and talk to workers and employers, to innovators and entrepreneurs, it is clear th

peoria, people have been itwing america and making america for generations. i sat with local business owners, educators, and workers, and asked about the challenges they are facing. one of them was margaret hanley. in 1928, her grandfather went to work for the town's oldest , steel fabricators. in 1951, her father followed working every day and saving enough to buy the company in 1982. in 2000 four, margaret went to work for her dad and eventually, took over the business. now she is the president, proudly employing union labor. i asked margaret how her company is faring 10 years after the great recession. i asked whether her workers have access to the kind of opportunities that made it possible for her father and grandfather to get ahead. she said that my 15 employees are middle-class. they make $30,000 to $50,000 a year in illinois. the middle class can't afford all these investments in themselves. , butcan make a good living the money isn't there. to educate their kids. in addition to college tuition, she cited home ownership, and retirement savings as oppo

that is what make it in america is about. i might say that we just passed a tax bill, paul ryan talked about the tax bill as being for the average guy, he talked about the average family making $59,000. the average family was not the focus of the tax bill. the people who were doing best in america who have seen their , in some casese 100 fold were the objects of that tax bill, 83 present going to the wealthiest in america and the american people get it. that is where conor lamb was successful campaigning on the aces of the tax bill was not for care is a not to be for you. and he won on those two issues. we can do the same. anyave you seen at theructural proposals white house, [indiscernible] have you seen anything rolled out? rep. hoyer: let me say something about infrastructure week, it is a message, not policy. what we have been about and the previous congress was about and this congress is about is messages. message enough is not enough, we need to have policies. we need policies that respond to the challenges confronting

iam not proud of america, and put my hands up and i swore to protect america. i am an african american scientist, and i'm ashamed of this president. calling from illinois on the democrat line. good morning to you. caller: good morning. what is wrong with the world now is that we have lost all of our morals and our value. did you hear those people talking to you? that sound like a trip to nazi country. i do not understand what the world needs to do. we need to get back to basics. this man is coming into this office and has turned everything upside down. he has made the racial issue come back up, women's issues -- it is terrible. don't these people recognize this man for what he is? he wants to be putin, he wants to be kim, and you know america needs to pray. if we don't watch out, we are ship.to have a dictator a dictatorship. one good thing about me is that i am older now. maybe i will not see it when it turns all around, but i will pray for my kids and grandkids, because this is terrible. thank you. host: gladys from illinois. be peeking in on some of the live

miss america board. she was joined by the group's ceo at the national press club to discuss the recent changes to the nearly 100-year-old competition. this runs about an hour. >> good afternoon and welcome to the national press club. the place where news happens. i'm angela keen, deputy editor of politico states, and i'm a former president of the national press club. before we begin our conversation today, i would like to remind our in-house audience to please silence your cell phones and i would like to invite everyone who's watching or listening today to follow the discussion along on twitter using the hashtag npc live. if you are in our audience in-house and you have questions for our speaker, you'll find cards at your tables. please write your questions and pass them to the gentlemen right here, who will bring them up to the stage. now it's my pleasure to introduce our head table guest. i'd ask each of you to stand briefly adds your name is announced and please hold your applause until all of our hea

america. our heroes have started the conversation that will hopefully bring america together stephen's hopeful the rest of his time and then this will be smooth. of. oh ok then ever all that stuff i'd like to maybe swap this out if that's cool. i don't appreciate it you couldn't tell from a so cal style stephen has long held it been deeper skateboarding so everything in here is star brand so sleep. can i put those wheels on the outboard easy. to get this. what board is this this is the rally rally photosphere is what's the trucks trucks repairs trucks it's almost school so they're really pretty new in their suite they're awesome so they're reversed taken so that's going to feel like super surfie with your skin around really really turning out oh sweet they're a lot of fun to. do. i love it. and you know i'm a low but i'm a little glam me so i had to go with the white we'll yeah you know let him know you're there but upset looks. like he's going to act excuse me. back. to the salsa. was. sneeze

but then donald trump betrayed america. and after that gasp came all the exhaled words of outrage and calls for the justice. john brennen, the former cia director under president obama, called it quote nothing short of treasonous. now, that's a loaded word. the law does mention giving enemies aid and comfort as treasonous. and what donald trump did today does resemble aiding and comfortable. and the law has harsh penalties including disqualifying the treasonous from holding office. but what's the reality? there will likely be no consequence like that for president trump. no prosecution, no impeachment. and i'm not making the case we should have. as elusive as justice in america recently and that is consensus, right, left and reasonable in our government when they drew their next breath they found a collective voice. and they shouted, no. no. putin is not right. trump is wrong. we believe our institutions. we trust in our democracy. russia did interfere.

will lose jobs america will lose investment america will lose international standing that further erodes its economic power but the gamble that the trouble ministration is is that somehow they can get a short term political benefit if not necessarily economic one that shows that they are tough and the rest of the world has to bow down to american wishes you see he has all these people around him who share his his view of a right is america being ripped off by the rest of the world well i'm sure that your other guest will be able to explain this in detail but frankly no there are other there are always points of trade disputes between countries so for example we might talk that the united states has an issue with china supposedly seizing intellectual property or that china has manipulated the currency market but in general the united states has benefited from trade with china it's been afraid it for trade with asia has done so over the decades since the asian economic machine was rebuilt after world war two. so when you talk about in general the protectionist approach to the american econ

to america's all about. what makes america great to me. is the freedom to obtain the knowledge see once you have the knowledge. then you're free to make change i'm not interested in my opinion i'm interested in the knowledge of learning from other people's opinions so up. i'm excited for me it's it's that important to understand that this is not a trivial thing i mean absolutely that's texas is it exciting to me because what i've learned is we don't know some do your best to surround yourself with people that do i also understand that and this culture i'm never going to be able to to journey on this whole thing by myself i'm going to have to have some help and i'm going to probably know a whole bunch of people that are smarter than me to help me get it done so nicely we get out of the cows and we go say hi to my three dogs that i have with my brother do to go from here three dogs as they had on the spiritual journey here was spiritual guru of course i'm going to go where you say i go. first. hearing we bring. this could be a plains a movem

america. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education low it's high education is becoming just another product that can be bold and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you're good models of version. of this also the fruit kind of fellow they could name you. want is the place of students in this business model the four college towns more now on an extremely more high education the new global economic war. to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material listened to a lot of material and also read a lot of material. that was appalling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was to befall more graphic than anything i could intrigued enough in a television of. our heroes have started the conversation that will hopefully bring america together stephen's hope for the rest of his time and t

america without alaskan wilderness would be a much less place. more treasure landscape in less than any other state but extraction industry, oil, gold, silver,n zinc, are always lookg to spoil the state. >> did tr ever visit alaska? >> guest: he never did. his opportunity to, with an expedition in 1899 but he got back from the spanish american war and then ran for governor of new york. g but what he did was receive the volume of the report which was josh and johnto and others who wrote these reports on what were our heirlooms, what need to be saved, two and today that are just under pressure to develop, our greatest fishing and was built with all these laws to say the salmon run of alaska now on the pebble mine company out of anglo-american corporation of been canada is trying to destroy the great fishing areas that roosevelt fought to say. the same with the arctic refuge. dwight eisenhower, your hearing drill baby drill up there. oil was sent to 60 people want to go into a great wildlife refuge. that would be like mining the grand canyon or chop

it's washington and america. we have folks doing inventive work all across america waiting fortous connect with them. we have indecency instead of decency. >> sometimes we need to be speaking at people less and listening more. one thing you have done well, you have got lebron james to come to your city. that's a big deal. >> let's stack it up. trump got dennis rodman to north korea. i got lebron here. >> well done. if lebron runs for mayor, you're finished. i want to thank you for being here. listen, we have got a pod save america's jon favreau ahead. he's an amazing l.a. resident. you love him. up next, before we get to john. i'm going get back in my van. i'm headed to the rust belt. a region that flipped from blue to red for trump in 2016. how do the voters there think he's doing? i'm going to take a road trip with david urban when we get back. starting now, everyone gets the plan they want. mom gets the unlimited she needs, dad gets the unlimited he needs, the kids get the unlimited they need. go mix and match

the young america's foundation is important. it's important because we need people like yourself who are willing to learn conservatism, debate conservatism, and stand up on campuses and newsrooms and other settings. in the long run, we it gives us a high likelihood of running. it takes people like yourself who are willing to do the work and make the arguments. i'm honored to be here. thank you for letting me talk.

and in mild terms offer america's support for the sovereignty of ukraine. he did not do any of that. we are left with question of why . i do not know what mueller knows. i do not know what vladimir putin knows. but americans should be freaked out today. that there is some explanation we do not know for why our president is so friendly to russia's national security to ourts and so hostile own. today was just the icing on the cake. don't forget what happened on the first four days of this trip. trump announced to the world that after several days of meetings and consultations with our european partners, he could definitively say that europe was an enemy of the united states. union ad the european "faux" and he announced his meeting would be a whole lot easier with president putin then they were what europe. first, europe is our most important friend and ally and it has been that way for a long time. nothing has changed. you know where the first place we turn to when we need help his? europe. they share our democratic values. they are our most important tradin

you hear corporate america is preparing for a growing america and not a stagnant america. they are leveraging the balance sheet and they are going to take advantage of the growth and the stimulus. jonathan: the difference this time around is the two americas levering up at the same time. the other is with when you have them levering up at the same time. it could be a toxic mix. bob: ultimately, it could end bad. i think some of the angst coming out of the tweets are coming at a time when borrowing is going to go up. why would you want borrowing rate to go up? the other way to look at it is the opportunity is now. you still are at relatively low levels of interest rates. there is plentiful liquidity. you have structural reform to -- through taxes. you will get some fiscal spending. you make up deregulation. let's borrow and jumpstart the economy. jonathan: what does it say that we are having these conversations when the federal reserve is still considering to -- the monetary policy to be accommodative? the rate is fairly positive and we are still having talks about risk in

that's the america i believe in. that's the america i love. and that's the emergency i'm fighting alongside every day to make a reality. and that's the america that gives me a chance to be here today. when i was a kid growing up on the ragged edge of the middle class, my dreams were closer to home. graduate high school, go to college, teach school, have babies, maybe some day buy a home. and in my life there were a lot of bumps and wrong turns along the way. when i was 12, my daddy had a heart attack and my family nearly lost everything. when i was 19, i dropped out of school to get married. didn't work out. but i lived in a country where i could get a first rate public college education for $50 a semester. think about that. a country that was investing in highways and bridges and power. all the things that build a vibrant economy and good-paying jobs right here in america. i didn't grow up in a perfect country by any stretch. black and latino americans were locked out of opportunities and often confined to the worst jobs. women had limited ch

america is being respected again, and america is winning again, because we are finally putting america first. everywhere we look, we are seeing the effects of the american economic miracle. we have added 3.7 million new jobs since the election -- a number that is unthinkable, if you go back to the campaign. nobody would have said it, nobody would have even, in an optimistic way, projected it. we are in the midst of the longest positive job-growth streak in history. new unemployment claims have recently achieved their lowest level in almost half a century. the african american unemployment rate has achieved the lowest level in recorded history. african american unemployment is the best it's ever been in the history of our country. the hispanic unemployment rate has reached the lowest level, likewise, in history. the asian unemployment rate has recently reached the lowest level, again likewise, in history. women unemployment rate recently reached the lowest level in 65 years. and soon that will be in history. give it another two or three weeks. veterans' unemployment is at its lowest lev

trump, this is how you make america great again, by making it in america. so we can work with our republican colleagues, as we are with our ship bileding program, the energizing american ship bileding act. democrats and republicans understanding together that it is public policy, it is the laws that we write that set the pace for economic growth and spread that growth out across the great american population. so to everyone, everyone can participate in the rebuilding of america's infrastructure, whether it's a ship at sea a port that's being developed, an airport a highway, or a railway, water system, sanitation system. we must write into all those laws that when american taxpayer money is used, it is spent on american manufacturing and american workers. so we'll make it in america. and america will make it when we follow these kinds of wise public policies. keeping in mind there are task -- that our task is to make sure that we always focus not on those who have much, but rather on those that have too little. and so with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. th

that does not represent america. the numbers you quoted with the president's approval rating going up with hispanics. they are going up with everybody. because real people with real sense aren't falling for this malarkey. that's the good news in the middle of this chaos. jesse: hollywood liberals feeling less than pay the why the i can on all days, the 4th of july. chelsea handler tweeting to every country on the 4th of july. we are sorry about our president. he doesn't reflect all our views and the majority of us are ashamed. michael moore said this. happy resistance day. the revolt continues. some 242 years later. come on, people, let's finish this. not to be left out. i refuse to let donald trump have the flag of the united states as his own. i refuse to have the stars spanningled banner as a cudgel against free speech. i refused to bow to cynicism. why aren't liberals proud of america on the 4th of july. joining me philippe reines and gina loudon. gina, do democrats have a patriotism problem? >> polling suggests

one in five children in america went to sleep hungry at night. that was my purpose. that's what pulled me into the political arena. knowing the needs and hopes and dreams of children and seeing that poverty having such an impact on their lives. so that has been my driving force here. it is sad to see when they want to cut chip, the children's health insurance program, they want to cut snap, taking food out of the mouths of babies. the things that they do to the air our children breathe and the water they drink. it just -- it's my motivation. that's what makes me work every day all the time for better policy and to do the politics to win the election to change this. but to take it to the place where they're taking children away from their parents. and then even when they're reunited months later, the damage in many cases is done. and the responsibility to try to make up for that is something that we all share. reporter: should any official face a legal consequence? should anyone go to jail for not meeting the deadline? ms. pelosi: i don't know what the -- that would b

that's true in america, too. at this time of year, americans travel across the country in their cars, by train or by airplane, to be together with their families. many americans, of course, came to the united states from other countries, and at this time of year, they look forward to hosting friends and family from their homelands. most of us celebrate christmas or hanukah, and as part of those celebrations, we go to church or synagogue, then gather around the family dinner table. after giving thanks for our blessings, we share a traditional holiday meal of goose, turkey or roast beef, and exchange gifts. on new year's eve, we gather again, and like you, we raise our glasses in a toast to the year to come, to our hopes for ourselves, for our families, and, yes, for our nation and the world. this year, the future of the nation and the world is particularly on our minds. we are thinking of our nation because in the year ahead, we americans will choose our next president. every adult citizen has a role to play in th

yet you hear corporate america has made the shift, preparing for a growing america again. not one in secular stagnation. they are going to leverage the balance sheet and take advantage of the growth and the stimulus. jonathan: the difference this time around and what everybody is thinking about at the moment, the two americas levering up at the same time. the america you are talking about, lisa, is corporate america, and the other is the sovereign levering up at the same time. when you have the corporate and sovereign america lever up at the same time, it could be a toxic mix, couldn't it? bob: ultimately, it could end bad. i think that some of the angst coming out of the tweets, at a time borrowing is going to go up, why would you want borrowing rate to go up as well? the other way to look at it is the opportunity is now. you still are at relatively low levels of interest rates. there is plentiful liquidity. you are having structural reform through taxes. you will get a fiscal spend, you may get some deregulation. let's borrow and really jumpstart the economy. jonathan: w

america is our closest ally. this is not against america, it is against trump. then the main anti—trump protest of the day, filling the streets of central london. the american president might not be in london to see and hear these protests, but he is certainly aware of them, saying he wasn't spending more time in the capital because he had been made to feel unwelcome. but as donald trump said, he believes the real british people love the american president. but those in trafalgar square this evening are not the ones who love him, farfrom it, but with a welcome from the queen, the prime minister, president trump mightjust not mind about the protests. lucy manning, bbc news. you can probably hear scottish police helicopter up above. we think donald trump is imminent here at turnberry, the golf course and resort that he owns. one other piece of evidence to suggest his welcome will not be particularly straightforward is that when he got to the airport where air force one landed he was greeted by the uk secretary of state for scotland. he was not greeted by the fir
