reporter: -- keep jobs in michigan and ohio? >> i'm sorry, michigan? well, we believe in an all electric future, so we believe that there's work to be done as we move forward to make sure customers understand and experience electric vehicles so it's not something we think should exist forever. there's more work to make sure customers understand electric vehicles. [ inaudible question ] >> of where we make electric vehicles. reporter: the blazer is not an electric vehicle. why not build that in the united states? >> the decision of where the blazer was built was made many years ago. at that time, lordstown for instance was running full-on three shifts. the market has changed dramatically. but in this country, we have just launched the cadillac xt-4 being built in fairfax, kansas. there is another product that is going to be coming out built in spring hills. we have products being built in lancing, grand river. we just invested a tremendous amount of money to build heavy duty trucks we just launched this week in flint, michigan. we have additional jobs t

ronna: i was from michigan. nobody knew who was -- who i was. i'm sure people were like him who is this lady from michigan? for the first four months, i really did not do tv at all. i really focused on the fundraising. traveling to new york and florida and texas and california, the four primary fundraising state, california, you're all shocked by. and new york. but really meeting after meeting. hour after hour. going to every single office, meeting with people, introducing myself. i knew coming to d.c., if i could raise money, if i could show i had money in the bank, then i would have legitimacy. because if i do not have a und-raising ecosystem, if i am not raising the money, how a life at -- put together a field program? how are we going to advertise? all of the doorknocking we need to do. it was a full concentration on that. then i started expanding to the other areas. i totally concentrated on that. carrie: you had to be focused on -- she needed to perform at a higher level than any man would. if you think of it that way. i have to not only d

i found that when i was michigan chair, it was harder for me to fund raise nobody thought michigan was a competitive state presidentially. i was a woman, a stay-at-home mom before i became michigan chair. i was not on the golf course. i was not a peer of the businessman. a preponderance of the donors were men. i could tell you stories about offices i got laughed out of. carrie: tell us about the stories. ronna: i did. i got called a kindergartner by one person and said get out of my office. carrie: what did you do? ronna: you don't give up. i got money from that person later. i don't give up. you have to. i want to prove them wrong. they are going to be an investor. but it was so much harder coming into that role without that title. and being in a state that people do not think was competitive. we did a great job. your team is key. i had a good finance director. i have the best finance director in washington, d.c. the best team. we put on the miles, we made the calls. i cold called. it was a challenge. being rnc chair has been easier. carrie: what was your past -- i am fascinated by co

it's true in michigan as well. you know, in michigan and in wisconsin, voter turnout in this election, where people were sending a message to the legislature and to the executive branch that they wanted a change was a record turnout. a record turnout for the past 50 years in michigan, a record turnout of all time in wisconsin. i think there's going to be a significant backlash on the part of citizens who are ticked off, their representatives, republicans and democrats, are not listening. >> some critics are suggesting in michigan republican lawmakers are violating the state constitution. obviously you were the governor of that state. do you think the republicans' move will actually collapse under legal strut any? >> i think in both states there's significant legal challenges. i was the attorney general as well of michigan. this kind of stuff would clearly end up in court in michigan just as one example, s.e. the voters approved by 67% an amendment which allows for citizens to have greater access to the ballot box.

." >> michigan is now the tenth state in the union to allow the recreational use of marijuana. pot is also legal in washington, d.c. the trouble in michigan is although you can legally grow and possess cannabis products, they're there is so far no place where you can legally buy it. nikki battiste sourced this all out from a medical marijuana shop in detroit. >> reporter: it could take year before michigan starts licensing marijuana shops like this one to sell the recreational users. critics worry the wait could lead to high demand on the black market where there is no oversight. starting today you can legally carry 2.5 ounces of pot. that's roughly what's in this jar, and some say it's too much. >> this is a little different smell. >> reporter: stuart carter showed us the productsan in detroit. do you think people are going to show up at your door? >> we've had people show up. unfortunately we had to shut them down. >> reporter: carter says he is eager to sell recreational marijuana at the store, but the state is requiring shops to go through a lengthy licensing process. you d

in michigan, denied more republican power. because they elected a governor. now, the thing i looked at and said okay, so, is this really cleaning it up? no, it's not. what they're doing mostly is affecting the power of the executive branch. then again, it's a power grab. this is an opportunity to get more power for the regulative branch. that happens all the time. >> i understand the power grab. but there has to be ethics somewhere in here. another issue that infewuewer y infuriated people is the measure that would allow them their own lawyers to replace the democratic attorney on specific lawsuits and those pertain to voter identification and legislative redistricting. that is more than a power grab. >> that's clearly more than a power grab. clearly i think transparentally an attempt to suppress voters and to carve out of the authority of the attorney general the ability for a more conservative lejs legislator to impact how they vote. this is troublesome because we've talked about how these states could be critical in 2020 in the presidential race. this goes

nobody thought michigan was a competitive date. i was a stay-at-home mom before he became michigan chair, so i was not on the golf course. i was not -- a preponderance of the donors were men. i could tell you stories about office is that i got laughed out of. i did. i mean, i got called a kindergartner by one person and said get out of my office. >> and what did she do? >> i got money for that person later. i want to prove them wrong. i want them to be an investor. it was so much harder coming into the role without that title and being an estate people didn't think was competitive. so we did a great job. your key esteem. i had the best finance director in washington d.c. and sara robinson, just the best team. we put on the miles, made the calls. i called called. it was a challenge. the rnc has an easier. >> i'm fascinated by comments he made a batch or on experience and politics. ronna's mother ran for senate in that experience you describe does gÖdel and then it turns you off from politics are so how did you end up eating the rnc

republicans in michigan are also using a lame duck session to rewrite the rules. they could step in to defend a law allowing religious groups to refuse to place children for adoption with same-sex couples. and incoming dana nessle suggested she might not back that in court. >>> the inspector general at the department of justice says a female was allowed to retire an sexually supporting a subordinate. the unknown official sexually harassed unknown females but was never prosecuted. in one instance he pressured an employee to have sex with him in exchange for a promotion. the i.g. concludes the official's actions amounted to ethical misconduct, sexual harassment and sexual assault in violation of law. the prosecution was declined without further explanation. >> department of justice department. wow. that's something. that is something. >> grotesque. >>> a little man with a big heart will host the oscars in 2019. we'll tell you who. whenshe was pregnant,ter failed, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of

so what we have seen is a decline in the quality of michigan education. this is in large part to the de voss. did anybody see the piece this past weekend on arizona? writing essentially about the takeover schools in arizona and her wonderful book about the takeover in newark and in short this drive to remake education is a troubling nationwide trend. elizabeth colbert, another journalist on philanthropy a couple weeks ago pointed out the g.o.p. new tax reform bill preserves the deduction for charitable contributions but canceled for state and local tax payments which fund education. so she writes it is possible in the not-too-distant future philanthropic giving will outstrip the federal outlays on nondefense discretionary programs like education and the arts. this is all pretty depressing but remember i said my book is fairly upbeat and i'm actually known as something as a pollyanna so i will wrap up. my book has a number of positive examples i want to talk for a moment about massachusetts 1983 reform law which i would argue was a very hopeful example. as

and it's happening in swing states like florida, ohio, pennsylvania, michigan and missouri. the bedrock principle of our government expressed in the declaration of independence, as the government loses respect for the people, people loz lose respect for the law. congress must respond. the act is a simple, straightford plan. within certain basic federal guardrails, conduct in compliance with state marijuana law will not violate the controlled substances act. this legislation is the embodiment of federalism our founders envisioned, it allows each state to move, if at all, to move at their own pace. it lets states like colorado be the model of democracy that people expect, but most importantly, it lets colorado be colorado. south carolina be south carolina and florida be florida and they all will have federal prosecutors backing up whatever decision they make with respect to this decision. the people of colorado have made their decision already. i did not vote for legalization in 2012. i did not support legalization, but i respect my state's decision, it's people know what it r
