doug: marcus. i'm doug. lemonis: oh, hey, doug. how are you? doug: nice to meet you. this is my wife, cristine. cristine: cristine. lemonis: how are you? nice to meet you. this is a nice place. doug: yeah. thank you. cristine: thank you. lemonis: is this place pretty busy? doug: it's building. it's growing. cristine: it's growing. lemonis: i notice that the menu's a little different. cristine: yes. doug: we have a smaller version. so, we don't do 20-inchers or 18-inchers. lemonis: how come? doug: the 12- and 14-inch -- they're easier to make. they take up less space in the oven. 20-inchers are kind of a hassle to then put on your franchisees. lemonis: dino led me to believe that the second location is a total disaster. "they don't know what they're doing. the place is a mess." but i would argue strongly that some of the small tweaks that doug's made, like the menu, actually made the experience better. lemonis: how is this business treating you guys? cristine: good. doug: it's good. lemonis: what does it do in sales? doug: last year was $270,000. lemonis: but it's new.

doug, you upheld the honor of that seat. and you have set an example for every senator who will follow b. whatever the next chapter of your life may bring, the entire senate democratic family wishes you and your family the very, very best. and politely request that you do not call us when we are in the middle of giving a speech. [laughter] i yield to my friends, the very distinguished and a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful junior senator from the great state of alabama. >> mr. president. >> the center from alabama., thank you, mr. president. i am humbled. you know, everyone knows the old saying my how time flies and you're having fun. my time here has drawn to a close. but despite the difficulties, the challenges, despite the rancor we often see in this body as well as washington d.c. i can honestly say i have had a lot of fun. the last three years have been amazing and i have loved being a member of this body. i've actually been able to accomplish a few things, thanks to you. but you have been fine, not just college that has

doug was asked to play the judge. so he never got to deliver that passage shortly after the death of mrs. dubose when at tuesday explains to his son that real courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. real courage, atticus said, is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. you really win but sometimes -- you rarely win but sometimes you do. doug spent his time in the senate, indeed his own life embodying the courage that atticus describes. the story of the 16th street bombings is a reminder of the fact that even against tremendous evil and seemingly impossible odds, if you're dogged and determined and see it through no matter what, sometimes you do win and justice prevails. so while doug didn't get to play atticus finch that weekend at the virginia sanford theater in birmingham, that's okay. it's already the role of his lifetime. doug has said that it is his greatest honor of his life to fill the seat of his mentor. doug, you've upheld the honor of that sea

and i'll start with my friend, doug jones. throughout the years, i've gotten to know doug, as so many have, as a colleague, but more importantly, as a friend. these past years have not been easy for anyone, but what they have called for our leaders who would do what's right, who are willing to show courage and take risks and one of those leaders is doug jones. a native of alabama and a son of father who worked in the steel industry and my grandfather worked in the iron ore underground, i know a little bit about this. he graduated from the university of alabama law school. afterwards, he served as a top aide for his home state, senator heflen. i still remember him long after walter mondale left government. i was working with him in minnesota and he would call for him and the accent was hard for a minnesotan to get through and i remember mondale, literally within a few days, howling with laughter when he took the call . and i'm sure that was a great mentor for doug to have when he first got into politics. doug then became the u.

and doug became the u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama and 2017 the first democrat to represent alabama in the u.s. senate since 1997. i'll never forget the first speech doug gave on the senate floor, it was about gun violence, calling for bipartisanship and praguetism and the courage to seize the moment and he actually quoted senator hufflin saying our constitution itself came about through a series of great compromises, it was not written by idealogs who clung to their ideas or not at all. it was achieving centrists, should not be viewed as negative. never compromise your principles and he certainly showed us that, but work with your colleagues. democratic or republican, to move our country forward. i remember what he said about gun safety in his main speech. he was hopeful we may have reached a tippingpoint because, quote, our young men and women are awakening the conscience of america. he showed it even before that when as a prosecutor he brought closure to the families of the four little

doug: i don't know. what i'm encouraged about is the governments on the both sides of the channel are engaged deeply in trying to come up with a solution that would allow freight to carry-on crossing back into france. as folks will know, inbound traffic into the u.k. has been continuing to flow, although it is on more reduced volumes than we typically see this time of year. lisa: is the solution medical or political? doug: i don't know how you can separate the two. there's a bit of both that has to go on. these are sovereign nations trying to protect their citizens and the best way they can. one thing i will say is that the lori drivers themselves are a pretty safe bunch -- lorry drivers themselves are a safe bunch, their livelihood is dependent on them keeping safe so they can drive freight. toa: how long will it take unwind the backlog of trucks? doug: the best example i have is in september of this year we had a nationwide security operation through the united kingdom which meant everyone and everybod

posen: thank you, doug. we have come from talking about the immediate present situation and the risks, not just risks, the harm that you all agree on, to talking about some design principles and what each of you would want. in ongoing ways are very aware of the realities in congress. and the fact is that the republican senate majority in divided government seems at least likely to be objecting to or blocking a number of potential initiatives. i'm not talking necessarily about the deal that may come this week or this month. i understand that deal might be done along the lines. but in terms of any large budget initiatives or simply the next budget that would be normally coming in just the next month or two. so, maybe we can talk a little bit about how you see that playing out, but also more what do youichael, think is possible to get, maybe not bipartisan, but at least an agreed-upon and passed bill other than a continuation agreement? wendy, do you see from a democratic or hamilton project kind of side, what

member who will conclude his time in the sete at the end of the term, the junior senator from alabama, doug jones. we all kno he came to the senate as a courtroom lawyer and u.s. attorne but few people know about his more humble origins. he was born and raised in fairfield alabama outside birmgham, the son of a steelworker and grandson of a coal miner. when he was 19-years-old he ent his summer working at the cotton mill ten hours a day, six days a week. one day a freak accident sent a bit of shrapnel flying his way and h came withi inches of losing mia. several stihes later he went back to work. early evidence of a stubbn streak. only at the end of the smer did he decide it wasime to focus a bit more on his studies. that same ethic followed him his life. on the one occasion he decided to skip class it wasn't to throw a pigskin around orhe engage in extracurricular activity with friends. he skippedo class to attend clas with o the 13 bombing of the 16th street ptist church, a tragedy that had shaken the nscience of the nation. the young doug jones was moved by theth position in the trial t

doug then became the u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama and in 2017 he became the first democrat to represent alabama in the u.s. senate since 1997. i'll never forget the first speech doug gave on the senate floor. it was about gun violence calling for bipartisanship and pragmatism and for the courage to seize the moment. and he actually quoted senator heflin saying our constitution itself came about through a series of great compromises. it was not written by ideologues who clung to their way or no. compromise and negotiation, the hallmarks of moderation aimed at achieving moderate centrist policies for our country should not be viewed as negatives. doug believed in a simple philosophy when he was here, never compromise your principles, and he certainly showed us that. but work with your colleagues, democratic or republican, to move our country forward. i remember what he said about gun safety in his maiden speech. he was hopeful we may have reached a tipping point because, quote, our men and

the second person today will be doug swanson, a veteran investigative reporter and editor. he's now a professor at the university of pittsburgh school of journalism, he has won a number of awards for different publication and has undertaken a really enormous issue and that is the larger than life issue of the texas rangers in the state of texas. we know he has talked about details, the problems of issues, anytime truth is important, discussion on criminal justice reform after the tragic murder of george floyd. and from jamie thompson, litzer prize-winning reporter who covered the incident in dallas in july of 2016 and she has also wrten for the magazine, and written great work in terms of the different individuals who were involved in the actual incident there whereas we know five police officers were actually killed as a result, and looks at the lives of officers, their families, humanizes them and looks at the issues relating to one of the protesters there and one of the african-american physicians involved as a lead trauma surgeon when officers were brought in after they

i will start with you, doug. can the marielly do this, go inside of someone's home to make sure they're there? >> it is really hard to believe what we're seeing. i don't believe in coincidences, edward. most trial lawyers don't. just time and time again throughout this entire episode you know we see political fault lines over and over what is supposed to be an objective medical pandemic. to your question they are on murky ground for sure in terms of you know, entering premises, fourth amendment to the constitution. again it is breath taking to watch the manuevers that they are trying you know, to exercise as people in the political realm -- explained many times, just to try to grab power over people. it is just, it is breath taking to watch. it is incredible. edward: so then, doug, how do you get people from overseas then to abide by a quarantine because the uk's strain might be more, you know, might spread more easily? >> well, that is a great question, edward. the reason that is a good question, it breaks down

what doug said is 100% true. we've got a referendum on america on the ballot in georgia, and if republicans and all candidates are smart, and they are, they are going to make this a referendum on those two choices. very clearly,ho the two choices facing america. the supreme court. what trumped it on isis, on taxes, on government health care. what doug said was pretty remarkable, this is not like georgia is choosing between, you know, what we perceive to be what a georgia democrat would look like. warnock and ossoff are the aoc, rradical democrats. that is not what georgia is about. that the first. the second thing, this is going to be a full-blown, you know, ufc fight on the ground. this is a mechanical game. this is where both parties -- i used to say all time, when i was chairing the party. if you get me within a field goal, we will win the game. this is what this race is comino down to, a field goal, and whatever party has a better ground game, the better turnout operation, will win thisr race. it is going to

bob and doug are on their way to the international space station. the united states has had a long history of space flight. we have lift off. from the apollo missions which took astronauts to the moon, to the space shuttle programme which ferried men and women to low earth orbit and back. the shuttle has cleared the tower. but with two flights ending in disaster and high running costs, the fleet was retired and the shuttles touched down nearly a decade ago. since then, nasa astronauts have had to buy seats on russian rockets instead. now, outsourcing flights like this to spacex marks a big change for the us space agency. nasa has said basically we will give you the money, and you give us a space flight, and then that releases nasa to use its resources to do other things, and that is where we can start really thinking big. after nearly 19 hours in the capsule, the astronauts close in on their destination. soft capture confirmed. stand by for a retraction and docking. they have made it. the future of private space flight has truly arrived. from the ro

godspeed, bob and doug. this is a huge step for us. it is a huge step for the commercial ventures, and i think it's important for the world to realise that we're going into space to stay. it looks like we saw a zero g indicator floating around. about ten minutes into the flight, and the pull of the earth is gone. dragon separation confirmed. separation confirmed. then, the final stage of the rocket gently detaches. bob and doug are on their way to the international space station. the united states has had a long history of space flight. we have lift off. from the apollo missions which took astronauts to the moon to the space shuttle programme which ferried men and women to low earth orbit and back. the shuttle has cleared the tower. but with two flights ending in disaster and high running costs, the fleet was retired and the shuttle‘s last flight touched down nearly a decade ago. since then, nasa's astronauts have had to buy seats on russian rockets instead. now, outsourcing flights like this to spacex marks a big change for the us s

>> i agree with almost everything doug said. i do think part of why we come together is because we are attacked by something bigger and the think part of why is that we do it at the beginning and not at the end. we did a stimulus in a by person basis in january 2008 unemployment rate i think was still in the four area. we did unemployment insurance when the rate was 5% in 2008. we allowed it to expire when unemployment rate was still 8%, five years later. i think there's a time element to all of this which is part of what motivates it. i have a proposal with willie and matt fiedler, medicaid matching rates, make those assumptions state of unrestricted medicaid matching which are already function of state economic conditions in particular incomes but it compares to the income to the epogen, so you don't an average go upward at in a year. they just change order a bit between states. he basically make almost one tweak to the formula and you can offset two-thirds of the revenue loss in the way we did the parameters which states face

doug bush: it's just like a garden snail, except instead of eating your basil and your little baby arugula starts, it's eating seaweed. one shell and a foot. this is what you eat. this is just a big, muscular foot that it crawls arounand holds onto the rock. kristin aquilino: abalone have really important economic impact on this state. they supported a lucrative commercial fishery for decades. they also supported a recreational fishery that brought about $45 million to the north coast of california until recently, and they support really sustainable aquaculture in the state. woman: the red abalone fishery was a major fishery, recreational fishery on the north coast for decades and are really critical for the culture of california for at time. we had to recommend to the fish and game commission that it be closed after several years of severe impacts to the kelp forest. lackey: it's definitely affected business, and my tours have been greatly affected for the ab diving. and they estimate that it's, you know, anywhere from $44 to $54 million out of our local economy, just from the abalone, an

doug and there is even talk here, of making the river into a park. available to all, but we're told the plans for it have been completed but it was a different story five years ago. doug >> on the outskirts of kent, where the river heads for cuyahoga false, is a new waste treatment plant. which was under construction five years ago. it's a secondary treatment of some 4 million gallons of waste each day. and is now meeting the states requirement for discharge into the cuyahoga. even the new plant, it's finding it difficult to do its job properly, because of the kinds of weight waste it must treat. from slaughterhouse remains, are flushed into the sewers of can't. as well as from other cities along the river. across the river from the plant, it -- from a middle school industry runs into the river. and it puts an endangered watch along the river. >> the cuyahoga has just about every problem that every river in the united states has. saying it has some settlements in the bottom of it, it has erosion problems, it's full of debris, it has tremendous heavy

what doug said is 100% true. we have a referendum, and if republicans and/or candidates, and they are, they're going to make this a referendum on those two choices. very clearly. the two choices facing america. the supreme court. on what trumpeted on isis, on taxes, on government health car. what doug said was pretty remarkable. this is not like george's choosing between what we perceive to be what a georgia democrat would look like. they are the aoc radical democrats. that is not what george is about. so that's the first thing. the second thing is this is going to be a full-blown ufc fight on the ground. this is a mechanical game. this is where both parties -- i used to say all the time, when i was cheering -- if you give me within a field goal, we will win the game. this is what this race is coming down to you. it's a field goal. and whatever party has the better ground game, the better turnout operation will win this race. it's going to be very detailed. and it's going to be tough. >> i'm also a little bit of

doug, do you think any republicans are regretting signing that today? >> privately, i know they are. i talked to one member on friday who said, basically, i know this is a bad idea but i feel that i have to do this. ultimately, he used the word fight earlier. they have to show they're willing to fight. and this is the challenge for republicans, especially as we move to whatever the post-trump era will be, it is post-trump, and the reality for these members is they feel like if you want to play donald trump's game, you got to back him up. but the problem is, well, they're trying to score points with trump. donald trump doesn't give points. he only takes them away one at a time. ask jeff sessions. ask bill barr. and we'll see this again as other republicans speak out. >> but doug, can you imagine what republicans would be saying if the roles were reversed here? >> of course i can. not only can i. basically i've written those statements in the past when i worked at the republican national committee or in the house majority leader's office. some pretty blis

doug, let's dig in. put this in perspective. there have been ethically dodgy pardons before, but has any president rewarded law breaking in this way before? >> no, we've never seen anything like this. donald trump is simply emptying the jails of all of his corrupt cronies and he's willing to do it in a willy-nilly fashion. i think there will be many more to come because he hasn't come to grips with the fact that he's lost power. i mean, over the holiday here he has been fired by the american people while he's golfing with lindsey graham, so he's kind of simply, john, you know, pardon anybody that he knows or he possibly can or destroy any legislation. he's just in a steamroll of destruction mode right now. but i suspect you'll see 50, 100, and maybe even thousands of pardons of people because he likes that he has the power to do that. >> a steamroller of destruction home. elliot, democratic senator chris murphy suggested doing away with presidential pardon power altogether. do you think that's remotely realistic or what is your

assistant attorney general and former intel general counsel doug, great to have you back so i hope that you've seen this response that facebook has to apple's moves to limit targeted advertising on its platform. facebook, which is itself the target of antitrust complaints, saying that apple is in antitrust hot water here what do you make of it >> well, i think facebook has been motivated in part by the new proposed rules, and it believes those rules are targeted largely at open platforms like facebook, google, and perhaps amazon, and it wants to take apple down with it, or at least feel that it's subject to similar rules so i think a lot of that is posturing really over what's going on in the european commission >> they seem to be making the argument that it's sort of targeted advertising versus apple's platform power of being able to take a share of transactions that strikes me as possibly a bit of a strong man. aren't there ways to exist, have a business model without having targeted -- maybe that's not the question for you but does the antitrust issue have to be an either/or in the w
