he came back to missouri, came back to saint joseph, missouri, where brother joseph had founded joseph. but in june of 1846, he to ups don't get ahead of yourself he wrote to stephen what's corny who was commanding the army of the west and he offered his services an interpreter carney accepted and rabideau joined him in the march of the army of the west from missouri to new mexico, and it was on the roof of this building in las vegas, new mexico. he issued one of the first oaths of allegiance when americans took the southwest in the summer of 1846. he also gave that oath of allegiance in santa fe, where he must have been looking at group of his wife's family, where he looked at people he had been involved with. and i often wonder what that moment was like for him and for carmel to. know that her husband was delivering ancestral home into the hands of americans. well, where was carmel we don't have a record of where carmel is as i said made six or eight crossings of the santa trail in the 1860s when he died when carmel when antoine died in the in the summer of 1860, she was with a niece

we hear that it starts in franklin and crosses missouri, part of missouri, kansas, colorado, part of oklahoma, texas would like the trail to have crossed it but it never did. into new mexico. here in santa fe, it joined the camino real. and went all the way down to mexico city. city. the trail linked the spanish trade into the gulf of mexico down into havana and, that across all the way to the pacific as well. santa fe was also the nexus of trai california and trail to the northwest. so i think it's important to recognize that we can't confine trail just to kansas and missouri new mexico that had a much greater and much more important reach. this is a kind of detail of way in which the camino real tierra dentro came from santa fe down through el paso, juarez through chihuahua down to a puddle, and to durango, and then in mexico city, the there was the link to was the spanish galleon with entering through that across and exiting back the this picture thh on the right is actual stretch of the camino real de tierra dentro right outside of santa fe between, santa fe and albuquerque. and

i was one of the youngest members in the missouri state house. became the majority whip, the youngest speaker pro tem in missouri's history. and then ran for congress at 32. david: 32. so, you got elected, and what year did you get elected to congress initially? rep. smith: it was 2013. i will never forget my first day my predecessor was congresswoman jo ann emerson, and she led me down to the floor. she was there when i got sworn in. she's like, do you know how to get back to your office? my office was her old office at the time. i was like, yeah, i can do it. [laughter] david: ok, so, how do you go from being a young member of congress to being the ways and means committee? it used to be seniority. how did you become the chairman of the ways and means committee? rep. smith: it is all about relationships. i go back to that first day i was sworn into office. the senator at that time was roy blunt. and roy blunt pulled me aside and said, jason, there's two ways you can be effective in washington, d.c. one, you can be here for 20 years and just bui

but in the governor of missouri's case, he just didn't hear back.p while asking for disaster relief. now, after months of waiting. last week, missouri republican senator josh hawley took the situation basically into his own hands and asked trump's department of homeland security secretary for help while questioning her in front of the entire us senate. >> we've lost almost 20 people now. >> in major storms. >> just in. >> the last two months in missouri. >> it's been a terrible. >> spring for us. >> here again, can i ask for your help? will you commit to. >> helping for those. >> three major disaster declaration. >> requests that are pending? >> will you help expedite. >> those. >> secretary noem, and. get those in front of the. >> president, get those approved? >> we are we are desperate for the assistance in missouri. >> yes, absolutely. thank you. sure. the application gets. >> to the white house as soon as possible. >> fantastic. thank you. >> it seems that stunt of hawley's worked, but this issue goes well beyond just missouri. after hawley's s

host: kevin in missouri. a renter. what is your situation in missouri?ler: the situation in missouri is you have a lot of madness with the financial thing. you have people that are discriminated against for a loan. my question is, what is the alternative? and i believe that blackrock and blackstone are the cause of the housing trouble. guest: very good question. because in some markets like kansas city, memphis, dallas and jacksonville, florida and atlanta. this is where many institutional investors have gone in and bought up single-family properties to turn them into rental properties. consequently, any potential first-time buyer is essentially saying you don't have a chance. what kind of advantage do they have that ordinary buyers do not? we are finding many consumers like the fact that mortgage interest deduction is available. blackrock are able to immediately deduct borrowing and that's put at a disadvantage with how first-time buyers can compete with institutional investors. we want to look at that in terms of policy, and some of the discrimination.

medicaid covers 40% of births in missouri, 65% of nursing homes. already ten rural hospitals in missouri are at immediate risk of closure. mr. president, you know as well as i do what happens in small town america, rural america when they close the hospital. it is devastating, not just because you don't have access to quality health. because you just lost a major economic engine for that community. try to attract a new business to that town after the hospital closes and watch what you run into. it is that devastating. that is the reality of this approach. why are we doing it? what is the national emergency that calls on us to make this change? tax breaks for the wealthiest people in america. that is what's motivating the republicans now. i want to close and just say thank you to senator tillis. he's shown extraordinary courage. the question is whether others will join him. whether four republican senators will step up and say enough. i heard enough, i've seen enough, i believe this is wrong. there are ways we can help people who need it rather than

missouri is very interesting. of course, deep red trump country. but they also four years ago voted to expand medicaid. so that's why it is so interesting. but talking to people across missouri, the rural hospitals is a huge piece of this. that's what senator josh hawley is fighting for. it's one of the things that's actually holding up this bill. so the president this afternoon at the white house, he sort of decried the the grandstanders it's not necessarily that it's the policy differences here. so we will see how this plays out. but there is no doubt this is a huge gamble, at least particularly in trump country. >> well, yeah, there are a lot of republicans out there who think this bill, if it continues as it is, is going to hurt trump voters in places like missouri. jeff, excellent report. thank you. the top democrats in both the house and the senate will not say whether they will endorse zohran mamdani in the race for new york city mayor. and this comes as the city mayor, eric adams, officially is announcing his reelection bid as an independen

and missouri, after the medicaid expansion's other uninsured rate declined from about 50% to 35%. so now, what's going to happen when you cut medicaid and more people are now going to return to the ranks of the uninsured? missouri chose to participate in the expansion and over three and a people thousand gained that insurance. now they are at risk of losing it again. if this bill is enacted reversing the gains of the affordable care act it will increase our uncompensated cost. one estimate $42 billion alone in 2026 of uncompensated care and uncompensated care increases over a 10 year window. at the same time provisions put into the house reconciliation bill leaves a providers in states with any tool they could do to address this. this bill could cause a 1 trillion-dollar decrease in healthcare services leaving the states to try to grapple with that hit. rural areas will be the most hard-hit. would have adverse consequences for at risk hospitals and rural communities. we have all heard from her rural hospitals warning us about this. how is that our republican it oe colleagues are n
