when he heard the mansfield was trying to do he said it couldn't possibly work in the senate. they moved ahead that way. part of the mansfield instilled into the senators felt was the representative states vigorously and they were democrats or republicans who cared about their party but they have an overriding national commitment. to make this a network for the collective action that is what we are here for a. they argued, they hathat they hr arguments, took their vote but at the end of the day the navy to take collective action. nobody one all the time. but the notion that they were there to make the senate for something that was important to them. we see the opposite now. meaning senator mcconnell particularly has shown no interest in making the senate work. he's undermined the way the senate works. one of the problems i have with that if he knows how to make it work. he's had in his speeches, particularly the speech in january 2014 where he laid out how the senate should work if the speech you could have given or mansfield could have given except he doesn't work that way. h

get those sort of lower middle class voters up near mansfield down near the alleghenyy and southwest. but, around columbus, have you got all of these you were middle class suburbs. those people are basically republican. but the question is will the republican women turn out for balderson and will independents show up for balderson? the question is turnout. if they don't show up, then the democrats, the vote is tied or likely to push danny o'connor across the finish line. >> melissa: the president's post pelosi's puppet looking see which one sticks what do you think of that. >> plots' puppet and raise your taxes that is correct that has to appeal to middle class voters around columbus. maxine waters probably is going to carry too much weight with those people. and, again, trump has got to hope that he can rally enough republican voters in a largely republican district to come out and vote on tuesday. because, if they don't, melissa, this bodes poorly for a lot of open republican seats that aren't as republican as ohio 12. >> melissa: why is it that these guys are so tight then? is it t

anthony has been waiting in mansfield, texas. that line for those between 30 and 60. good morning. >> caller: good morning and thank you for taking my call. i just wanted to highlight something i've been seeing over the weekend, several articles actually in the "new york times" regarding the census bureau and a study that they had been working on since 2004 which concluded with them deciding that they would create a designation for hispanics and arab americans so they wouldn't have to define themselves as white, however, the trump administration through jeff sessions came up with another question which of course you all, i'm sure, know, they rejected the designation for hispanics and arab americans and opted for united states citizen, a question about whether you are a united states citizen or not because, of course, they fear a true depiction of what the demographics in the country really are, and my concern is that just as they did back for years they keep repackaging these same practices and bringing them to us in different ways, but basically it's going to have an

mansfield, as usual, spaghetti, had nothing to say. he's just against the war, that i've done everything i can to get peace, said i was the greatest man in the world. just nothing. just spaghetti. fulbright says i've got to get us out of vietnam. that's my purpose. i was lied to, misled. talking guff. any time you contract based on fraud and misrepresentation, there's no contract at all. and that congress does have some responsibility and i want it exercised. i want to be consulted. i said you've been consulted, we've been here three hours. you just play president for a minute, tell me what you would like for me to do, what is it you recommend? he recommends negotiation. i said i do, too. so how do we get going? he can't get anywhere. he just goes off then on a tangent and talks about how terrible the war is how it is tearing our society to pieces, how it is dividing us here. i said i agree to all of that. >> doug standton, what was the role of congress during this period in trying to contain the war and reacting to the protest movemen

when we started the office in 1975, mike mansfield, the majority leader, said to me -- he had graduate degrees in history -- he said i don't write know what federal historians or government historians do, but you go find out and then do it. doing withed up major emphasis was on making source materials available so that others could write. this was all pre-internet days. ofone knew where the papers senators -- let's say the senators who served during the new deal. where were all those papers? a distinguished historian wanted to know, so we got to work on that and eventually produced a catalog of where all these papers are located, and that is now all available on the internet, but it's oral history interviews, talking to senators after they retire or staff members who have been there for at reallye significant positions and have special insight. sort of all about. probably not writing our view of the history of the place. >> if you go to the senate things we did of right and a lot of the interviews we did our online. we did not try to take the place of robert caro and everyone really wr

mansfield was a supporter in the 1980's. when i was in tokyo, this issue would come up. people who know the issue no well that a free trade agreement , it does have an abstract attractiveness. it sounds good. the question is where are the details? who is going to fill in the blanks? do you have the people who will do that? do you have the conceptualization to do that? upnaturally brings agricultural, the other thing is autos. does the u.s. side of the equation have it serious interest in the solution? these kinds of structural problems in the nature of free trade agreement make it, i think if one is trying to get a win-win, rather than talking points for the election, the financial investment bank cooperation with david again that sort of thing and working level cooperation, a lot of that is going on. many people know we have had on the positive side with secretary mattis and the defense department, a constructive relationship over the last few years on security. to summarize, not neglected in dialogue, but a broken of the death. more importantly, a deepening competition

when i started in 1975, the majority, mike mansfield said to , me, i do not know quite what government historians do, but go find out and do it. what we ended up doing, major emphasis was on making source materials available so that others could write. we aren't interested in the so-called court history, where the court writes about the king, but rather making the sources available. this was all in pre-internet days. no one knew where the papers of senators, let's say the senators who served during the new deal. where were all those papers? william lichtenberg, the distinguished historian, wanted to know, so we got to work on that and eventually produced a catalog of where all the papers are located, and that is now available on the internet. it's oral history interviews, talking to senators after they retire, or staff members who have been there for a long time or have had very significant positions, special insight, all of that. but probably not writing our view of the history of the place. >> if you go to the senate website, www.senate.gov, a lot of things we did write and the inter

i came along at a time when we had mike mansfield with fulbright and great republican senators, as well. they didn't just tow the line as the party expected them to. a lot of that is now different. it has a lot to do with social media. in those days, they didn't have somebody breathing down their neck every nanosecond, breathing down their neck to what they were doing. it was a calling to go to the u.s. senate and serve your country there for an extended period of time. now, people come and go more quickly to that chamber than they have in the past. john mccain was, in some ways, the last of a breed. we have senators who are there now, been there a long time, but very few cross the party line at all, democrats or republicans. and providing the country with an independent voice. i think we need more of that. that was a service that john mccain provided. >> tom, it's a voice that you know well. over the years, you've been able to interview and speak with senator mccain. we have a bit with one of your interviews in 2017. i'd like to play that for our viewers and get your thoughts. >> you h

rest of this district, right up here, sort of the northern part, right down here, licking, zanesville, mansfield up here, this is the other america we talk about so much. blue collar, white-noncollege, huge, and i mean huge swings in 2016 to donald trump. while this part of the district was swinging away from trump, down here, how about this? the portion of this county, zanesville here, the portion of this county that's in the district, barack obama won in 2012. and in 2016, donald trump carried it by almost 30 points. those are the kinds of swings we're talking about. again, that's the other question here for democrats. they want to run up the score right around columbus. they want to be right around where clinton was in delaware county. they want huge turnout here, and that's the other question, can they improve, can they get back somewhere close to where barack obama did in the other part of that district? can they erase that trump surge in those non-college white, the blue collar white part of the district. a fascinating story. two very different parts of the district that went like this in

they've seen these trade agreements and shut down productions in mansfield and toledo and moved to beijing and renosa, mexico. they don't see their children having a better material life than they are. they rolled the dice. they see no infrastructure plan the tax bill overwhelmingly helps the rich. if you are manufacturing in youngstown, you pay 21% corporate tax rate. gm does, if they move that plan to the mexico, they pay 10.5%. so government gives them a 50% off coupon on their taxes. >> he made a specific promise, he was going to rebuild penn station in new york to california. he was going to rebuild this country. instead he gave the tax cuts to the rich. here's your ad, i think it tells the democratic story, not just in your state, let's watch. >> there is dignity in work. whether you check minimum wage, punch a clock or earn a salary, your hard labor should pay off. in fair wages and benefits. affordable health care, in overtime pay when you earn it, because patriotism demands investing in american workers. if you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. >> so th

in my high school reunion, i sat across my 45th recriewn in mansfield, ohio, i sat across the table from a woman who was working for a large -- one of these largest banks. she's making -- she's worked there 30 years. she makes $30,000 a year. but never enough for the c.e.o.'s. never enough for top management. at a time when big banks post record profits, they should be building capital cushions to protect themselves from tough times. they should be giving raises to workers who power these companies. instead the fed undermines the lessons from the last crisis, let's the banks drain away their rainy day funds. three banks, three banks, goldman sachs, morgan stanley, state street all had capital below the amount required under the stress test. but you know what? the fed gave them passing grades anyway. what are the stress tests for? they're called tests. if you fail a test, you should do something to correct it. but they said, pat them on the back, it's okay, you tried. you may have not got a passing grade but we'll let you go anyway. the fed, what's the fed's response in addition to giving

when i first came here, the way the senate has under great leaders on the democratic side like mike mansfield, on the republican side like howard baker. and we've gotten things done. so i'm proud of the appropriations committee. i am concerned about the judiciary committee. i've had the privilege of serving on it for over 40 years. the privilege of being chairman and ranking member. but i have to say, it is not doing its job if it's not requiring all the material to be here. senator shelby and i on the appropriations committee have worked to make sure everybody is heard. everybody had the material. we should be doing the same thing on the judiciary committee. i see the chairman of the committee on the floor, and i've spoken on the matter i wanted to speak on. i will yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. murphy: i see senator boosman is here. i will yield the floor and speak after he's done. mr. boozman: it's okay. i'll yield to you. mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from arkansas. mr. boozman: i'll yield to you. mr. mur uz -- mr. murphy: mr.

mansfield, he was spaghetti, nothing to say, he's just against the war. saying he had nothing -- even trying to get peace and it's just spaghetti. fulbright says that he's determined to run us out of vietnam. that we have got to get out of there and that's his purpose. i was lied to, misled. anytime there is a fraud-based contract, is no contract at all and that congress has some responsibility to the exercise. they had been there three hours, doing what was recommended through the negotiations. how do we get going? he talked about how terrible the war is and how it is tearing our society to pieces host: thank you for joining us. guest: great conversation, thank you. host: and thank you t

they like the idea of a 50% off coupon to shut off production ins mansfield, ohio, and move to vietnam or china tor to south korea or to turkey or to mexico. imagine that. imagine the economic i will literacy and the moral -- the economic illiteracy and moral debauchery of setting up a tax bill that says we'll give you a lower tax rate if you move overseas. what kind of a congress passes a bill that says you move overseas, we'll lower your tax rate. that's what congress did. it was already bad enough before we passed this last tax bill but now we're seeing what i think is going to happen more and more. g.m. makes a decision, they lay off people in youngs town paying 21% tax rate. they move overseas, they're paying a 10.5% tax rate. i don't understand the logic. i don't understand the morality of that. i would hope this congress would look at my legislation which will turn that around. it's our jobs in car act. it simply will say if you buy an american car, at 1 #00 different models of cars and trucks qualify for this. if you buy an american car or american truck, mostly made in the uni
