september 1918. the americans are about to undertake the first independent action against the enemies there because that was formed in september of 1914. is that correct? guillaume: that is correct. the germans had a big offensive and surrounded the town. mitchell: there is pershing at his headquarters. this would have been in leenee. this was a surprise attack against the germans who were vacating the area. guillaume: we see a bulge around this town of st mihiel which is west of that map. you see the landscape. part of the offense of his starting from the big plain and had to reach plateaus that you can see in the distance. this was for five heavy days. mitchell: i think that was a naval railway gun. guillaume: exactly, that is. that is probably samyiel already. mitchell: the monument was built and commemorates a campaign. you see the netting on top to protect the camouflage. in the event the german planes fly over. guillaume: that is the artillery preparation. that was a four hour long artillery preparation. it included almost 3000 guns. we saw the barb wire quickly. mitchell: you w

government reform for the center for american progress. thanks for being with us. we are approaching the november midterm elections. still people concerned about whether the integrity of the voting is in place. do you feel the white house and congress are doing enough? guest: i do not feel that currently there is the appropriate government response to lead us through to the kinds of steps we need to secure all of our elections. it is wonderful news that congress last year had in fact appropriated $380 million to support state and local elected officials in their work to increase cyber security measures , transition away from machines, those machines that do not yet use paper ballots. unfortunately there are still 14 states are not all voting on paper. five states do not allow voters to vote on paper at all. when you still have the president of the united states questioning and undermining the findings of his intelligence community as to the extent of fact that the the kremlin was behind this attack on the infrastructure. we have not seen a legislative response from congress that woul

. : let's not mince words , today was a terrible day for the american brand, for the american people, and for all of our allies. we did not negotiate from a position of strength. we negotiated from a position of weakness. as a result, one of the world's worst despots walked away with a win. has an undeserved legitimacy. the united states took a loss when we backed away from our long-standing commitment of principled american leadership. likely, we walked away from basic reality. the president of the united states was asked who he believed on the operations in 2016. did he believe in the men and women of the u.s. intelligence committee or did he believe in vladimir putin a member of the russian intelligence community, a thug turned russian desperate. the choice was between people risking their lives on behalf of our freedom and people who go around the world taking people's lives to limit freedom. the president of the united states, how did he answer? he answered "did not see any reason why putin would have interfered in the u.s. election ." make no mistake, putin has a reason. the re

want to say a few words about why i am in opposition to mr. kavanaugh. i think many americans have a pretty good sense of what the function of congress is, what the president of the united states does, but in fact i think many americans do not fully appreciate the role that the supreme court plays in our lives in the past decade alone, the supreme court has issued some incredibly controversial and, to my mind, disastrous decisions that have had a profound impact on the lives of the american people. and let me just review for a moment why this nomination is so very important by looking at what the supreme court, often by a 5-4 vote, a one-vote majority, has done in recent years. mr. president, if you go out onto the streets of, i this i, any community in the -- of, i think, any community in the united states of america, whether it is a conservative area or a progressive area, what most people will tell you is that we have a corrupt campaign finance system, a system which today, as we speak, allows billionaires to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy elections. and most america

, and so many others who want to repeal roe v. wade tomorrow. americans should not be complacent. the vast majority of americans want to see roe in place, but there is an active movement here now personified by judge kavanaugh's elevation, potential elevation -- hope it doesn't happen -- to the bench, and we have to be vigilant. vice president pence's remarks that he wants roe overturned was a prescient reminder that both the president and vice president have explicitly promised to, quote, appoint strict constitutionalists to the supreme court who would, quote, consign roe v. wade to the ash heap of history, unquote. those are the words of the vice president. justice kavanaugh has also -- judge kavanaugh has also written some troubling things about environmental protections, consumer protections, commonsense gun safety laws, all of which should be carefully examined by this senate and by the american people before we have any hearings. his history as a republican partisan lawyer during the clinton and bush eras, documents, e-mails, writings need to be thoroughly examined, particularly

the american political novel. he -- first it is beautifully written. he is a great craftsman who wrote about politics. you could add in a few people like steinbeck and others. it was a that she was a gifted writer. he captures the paradox of politics and power. politics is inevitable and necessary and you have to have power to make things happen and to bring about change. he also talks about how power intoxicatingand for somebody who wields it and powers shapes the power wielder in the case of governor willie stark, loosely based on huey long. it captures that story. most important way, that book is important because it is about responsibility. governorbook is about isrks aid, jack arden who from the oligarchy, he is from the privileged class, highly educated, a former reporter and he gets sucked and and he becomes the back man and the dirt collector and does horrible thats and rationalizes doing someed person good things is ok to work with. late in the novel does he come to understand the moral awakening about good and bad. nobody in american literature has captured that as well

americans are still struggling. in 2016, 12.3% of american households were food insecure. the supplemental nutrition assistance program or snap provides crucial assistance to tens of millions of americans. almost half of whom are children. and over 80% of snap households are living at or below the poverty line. further more, it's important to acknowledge that the snap program is responsible for many long-term benefits. studies have shown that access to snap by pregnant women leads to healthier babies and girls who had access to snap as children were 18% more likely to graduate from high school. that's why i'm continually frustrated that majority blames our budget deficit on low income families, seniors and victims of hunger. especially when the cbo has estimated that the republican tax bill will explode the deficit by 1.9 trillion dollars over ten years. that's why i'm offering an amendment that rejects this resolution's deep cuts to snap. 157 billion dollars over ten years. whether it's the trump administration's budget, the farm bill, or this committee's budget, it's obvious

. by increasing growth to 3% over the next 10 years, that would mean 12 million new american jobs and $10 trillion of new american wealth, at least. and that's not including the fact that, since i was elected, we've created approximately $7 trillion of new wealth. the year before i came into office, private business investment grew at only 1.8%. last year, it jumped to 6.3%. that was my first full year. we had to do a lot of things to get it to grow. and this year, it's growing at 9.4%. so that's a very tremendous increase. there hasn't been an increase like that in many, many years -- decades. and i think the most important thing -- and larry kudlow just confirmed to me, along with kevin hassett -- that these numbers are very, very sustainable. this isn't a one-time shot. i happen to think we're going to do extraordinarily well in our next report, next quarter. i think it's going to be outstanding. i won't go too strong, because then if it's not quite as good, you'll not let me forget it. but i think the numbers are going to be outstanding. we've accomplished an economic turnarou

industry is an american success story employing 400,000 people. in minnesota alone, more than 35,000 people are employed at almost 700 companies. mostly small companies you have never heard of of. many started by a doctor, engineer or entrepreneur, in the garage or back yard with an idea to help save someone's life. 0% of all medical device companies have less than 50 employees and 93% have less than 500 employees. and the jobs they provide are good rewarding jobs that pay above-average salaries. america is a net exporter in medical devices. but back in 2013, the affordable care act imposed a new 2.3 excise tax on all medical devices. 2.3% may not sound like much, but it was a tax on sales, on revenue. and the government puts an excise tax like on tobacco, alcohol. why would we want to discourage medical innovation? only in washington would you impose a tax on medical devices and think you are going to help reduce health care costs. and the tax caused a loss of 29,000 jobs. with strong bipartisan support we have been able to eliminate this tax with suspensions. the last time we suspe
