we had no auto industry in tennessee. but we were the most centrally located state with a right to work law. every state north of us did not have one. so when nissan was looking for where to put its manufacturing plant, now the largest in north america, it came to tennessee. and then general motors put its largest plant, now the largest plant in the world, it came to tennessee. and then we improved the roads, and today, about 1000 suppliers have come to tennessee. so we have had a series of republican and democratic governors who have worked together and handed off opportunities. and states and family incomes have gone straight up as a result of the arrival of the auto industry. >> you said being governor is like moses, being a senator is like parade coordinator, so what is it like being a cabinet education secretary? sen. alexander: that is a good question. well, it depends on your president. i happened to have a really good one, george h.w. bush. bob teeter, who was his campaign manager, once said he may have been the o

and today, suppliers have come to tennessee. we have had a series of republican and democratic governors who worked together, handed off opportunities, and state's family incomes have gone straight up as a result of the arrival of the auto industry. greta: you said being a senator is like being parade coordinator. what is it like being in education secretary -- being an education secretary? senator alexander: it depends on your president. i happen to have a good one, george h w bush. his campaign manager said, he may have been the only person elected president because he was nice. but he was also modest, courageous, so he allowed me to develop what we called america 2000. i was president of the university of tennessee and said, i have two questions. may i develop a plan to implement your education program subject to your approval? he said yes. and i said, can i build a team to implement the plan subject to your approval, and he said yes. that way, i was able to circumvent political interference from the white house and got whoev

the tennessee republican has been elected to three terms on capitol hill, 18 years. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell gave an emotional tribute on the senate floor, recalling their friendship as young senate staffers. sen. mcconnell: mr. president, on a complete different matter, the senate revolves around people. reinvolves around peopl. one of our key duties involves the personnel we examine and confirm. there are all the dedicated staff professionals who make this place go. today it is both my great honor and regrettable task to honor someone who secured our three parts of that senatorial triple crown. the senior senator from tennessee, the chairman of the committee on health, education, labor, and pensions, lamar alexander. lamar first set foot here as a talented young staffer. decades later he appeared before us as a super-successful former governor and university president with a nomination to the cabinet. and for the past 18 years, the other 99 of us have gotten to serve along one of the most impactful senators in modern american history. i have known l

his walk across the state of tennessee, his eight years as tennessee governor, his time as secretary of education under president george h.w. bush, his stint as president of university of tennessee system, and this time as professor of harvard. and that of course is 18 18 yes in the united states senate, marked by significant legislative accomplishment on everything from education to opioids. all that and he makes a plaid shirt look good, although these days he switched to a plaid facemask. mr. president, i first met lamar like our colleagues from maine, senator collins mentioned, when he attended a lincoln day dinner in south dakota in 1995 when he was running for president. but i really started to get to know him a little bit when they came to the senate in 2005. lamar had already been here for a couple of years by that time and, of course, he already had an extraordinary career behind him. and i know i was off the only young senator who regarded him as something of a mentor and a role model. i share a couple of things with mar. one is the fact that we were both senate staffers lon

there was this dixie-crat politician in tennessee named ray blanton. ray blanton had been in the tennessee state legislature, sort of an undistinguished run there. he ran for congress from tennessee in 1966 as an old reconstructed dixie-crat democrat. he ran as a pro-segregation candidate for congress in 1966, got to congress, had a few terms there, did basically nothing. but while he was there, distinguished himself as, you know, an unrukted democrat inveighing against the dirty hippies and the animti-war movement. he was a real peach. in 1974, that politics, ray blanton, got elected governor of the great state of tennessee. while he was governor, he, like, gave his family's road building company a state contract and guys in his administration started selling off state-owned cars to their friends and cronies at a discount. he was basically a terrible and corrupt governor. but in 1978, after his time as tennessee governor, ray blanton was on his way out. he was not going to run for another term. they held an election in november 1978 to pick the next g

you live in tennessee and there were thousands of songwriters. but, i understood better because i had gone to a songwriters session over the weekend and i saw how they live and how they were not making any money from the songs they wrote. as you arehighlights thinking about winding down your days in washington? sen. alexander: i think about so many. i think i have had one of the best seats in the house for about 50 years. sometimes, even when i am in the middle of doing something, when i am the governor in charge or chairing a committee, i find myself just watching. it is such an interesting picture, you sit on the front row at an impeachment, to be working in the white house, and a little off is still there outside of the vice president's office, to walk across the state and spend the night with 73 different families, all of that is -- i have been very lucky to be able to do it. greta: what will you miss the most? sen. alexander: the friendships, the people. i mean, the senate is all about relationships. people who get here are usually pretty go

in central tennessee. good morning, congressman rose. >> good morning. thank you for having me on today. >> absolutely. we started the program talking about the election, president trump's comments on facebook. i wanted to get your thoughts on the president's efforts to contest the election in several states across the country and his efforts last night, comments last night. >> sure. first i say elections have to accomplish two purposes, first of all they have to decide the outcome, a winner, in this case the presidency. but secondly they have to do that in a manner that satisfies the loser and the loser's supporters that the outcome is just. i think that's where this election probably has fallen short. so i think it's understandable that the president and many of his supporters, including me, have many questions about this election. frankly we saw an unprecedented number of changes to the election procedures across the country. many of those procedures not tested before this election. most of those proced

his walk across the state of tennessee. his eight years as tennessee governor, his time as secretary of education under president george h.w. bush, his stint as president of the university of tennessee system and his time as a professor at harvard. and then of course his 18 years in the u.s. senate marked by significant legislative accomplishments on everything from education to opioids. all that, and he makes a plaid shirt look good. although these days he's switched to a plaid fiscal mask. mr. president -- a plaid face mask. i first met lamar when he attended a lincoln day dinner in south dakota in 1995 when running for president. i started to get to know him when i came to the senate in 2005. lamar had been here for a couple of years by that time and already had an extraordinary career behind him. i know i was not the only young senator who regarded him as something of a mentor and a role model. i shared a couple of things with lamar. one is the fact that we were both senate staffers long before we came to the senate as

she played a little-known tennessee state official named marie ragiante. marie was a whistle-blower and a big scandal in the state of tennessee, a big scandal that had just an astonishing ending, an ending that we, apparently, as a country need to study now at the end of the trump administration, because this scandal is literally the only thing i know of in our modern american history that might help us out in terms of what's supposed to happen now and how the craziness we are living through right now is supposed to resolve. and luckily, this one isn't just history that we have to look up, like in random ph.d theses and old newspapers. trust me, i have done that with lots of state-level scandals. luckily, this one really does have a sissy spacek movie all about it so you can just cheat and watch the movie. it's a movie in which "the new york times" praised sissy spacek as, quote, effortlessly from a battered young wife to a self-possessed official, and gives yet another guileless, radiant performance of unusual mediacy." you can cheek and just watch "marie

lamar remains clear that he was in tennessee the whole time. we have had more than a master legislator. we have been blessed with sober, honest statesman, someone who cares as much about preserving the institution as the near-term results he can ring out of it. from daily conversations to the most dramatic moments on the floor whether in the minority or the majority, to treat colleagues exactly as he would hope to be treated. he worked to build consensus in a consensus based - one of the most brilliant people i have met in my life, his mind is a steel trap. i understand he likes to keep the staff experts locked around the conference table for long sessions turning a complex issue over and over until they arrive at the best path forward for the country and the most precise and concise way to communicate. mastery of policy, mastery of the english language and can't forget to mention my friend's good cheer. he looks like a motto he inherited on alex haley, find e good and praise it. i myse have relied on his wisdom for many years but i prefer it j

lamar remained clear that he has just been on loan from tennessee the whole time. so we have had more than just a master legislator to call upon. we have been blessed with sober, honest, deliberate statesman, someone who cares as much about serving this institution as the near-term results he can wring out of it. from daily conversations to committee business to the most dramatic moments on the floor, whether in the minority or the majority, lamar has taken pains to treat his colleagues exactly as he would hope to be treated in their shoes. he's worked to build consensus in a consensus-based body. he has cherished and defended the senate the framers designed. and it's no exaggeration to say lamar alexander is one of the most brilliant people i have met in my life. his mind is a steel trap. i understand he likes to keep his staff experts locked around a conference table for long sessions, turning a complex issue over and over until they have arrived at the best path forward for the country and the most precise, concise way to communicate it. mastery of policy, maste

it benefited tennessee hugely in the 1980's. and our whole nation during the time in president bush 41's cabinet. it's not the only way lamar has honored his roots. you couldn't walk the entire state of tennessee and be elected governor and serve more years than anyone else in the history of the volunteer state without becoming entirely intertwined with the place. every corner of the state is better for his service. his groundbreaking work to bring home good paying auto jobs has paid dividends. so has his major focus on infrastructure and better roads. but it does not always translate into status. the lamar alexander parkway was named to honor him. i further understand, sometime later, lamar was driving on that very road and stopped for breakfast. when it was time to pay for his food, he handed over his credit card. the woman on the others of the counter glanced at the name on the card and back at lamar. hey, she said, were you named after this route? -- this road? [laughter] as a man of faith, i'm sure lamar knows chapter four,

the senior senator from tennessee. the chairman of the committee on health education of labor intentions. alexander. and i 31 set foot here is a talented young staffer. he did. in decades later he appeared before us is a super successful former governor and university president the nomination. for the past 18 years, we got new serve on one of the most popular senators modern american history. i've known him for more than 50 years. we 31 met in 1969 when i was working for senator, cook. he worked down in the executive branch. we made the suggestion of his previous boss and mentor. he just off to serious young guys and even some livelier social lives. now this may shock you. i'm afraid that we did not exactly go crazy and paint the town red. as young men. but i will take a five decade friendship any day. both of us headed back home to continue our prayers. right future would likely lay in store for him for sure. and a reference for public service started early. i believe he was about ten years old. when his father himsel

in nashville, tennessee. we also don't know whether he has approved the emergency declaration requested by the governor of tennessee and we're not expecting to hear anymore from the president today either. the white house gave us a lid which means that we are not expecting to see or hear from the president directly. though, of course, he is continuing to tweet, but as of now, nothing directly about the situation in nashville. >> and shimon, you have new information? >> reporter: well, i just wanted to also add, andrew mccabe was talking about the area on 2nd avenue. what investigators are zeroing in on is whether or not the at&t building, this building we've been hearing so much about that sustained some of the most damage and that's also knocked out internet service, cell service, even in some cases, land line phones. my hotel, for instance, there was no phone service. what investigators are looking at, based on everything they have seen so far and learned, determi determined. because of where the rv was par

east tennessee was really a whig heavy political state. east tennessee was not really a democratic stronghold but he kind of helped turn it into more of a democratic stronghold because he was the epitome of a democrat. his hero wars andrew jackson and his other hero was thomas jefferson. state rates, protection for slavery is another thing that he's also big for and he was also a slave owner himself. he owned over nine slaves in his lifetime i believe, somewhere in that range. >> about 10 to 12, and he often -- johnson played up the apprenticeship as slavery that he's been treated as a slave. there was a -- there was a difference in actuality. in his mind though he conflates the two, and it's one of the reasons why he is -- often attacks planters, the wealthier slave owners who he sees looking down on poor whites like him. between he becomes wealthy he still identifies and sees himself as a poor white, and that guides a lot of his philosophy, a lot of what he does in his life is that self-image of being the poor hardscrabble white person p

i don't know much about tennessee history, that is certainly what we do. we were only able to pass the prohibition amendment because, thanks to alexander hamilton, the entire economy of the united states was based on liquor taxes until 1916. we could not have prohibition. but, they passed the income tax amendment. and then we could have prohibition. so, it's so weird how we are about this. and this coming together of dry and wet, it's just the same counties that had liquor as their primary means of income become dry. our ambivalence is astonishing. i don't have the tablets on which it's written, why we were so ambivalent. all i can notice is that we are. but i think it's part of the american, extremes of the american character. either we, i'm not gonna mention any issues here because here we are in d.c.. either were protests or anti-that. we are very passionate people, how is that? >> you're the first person i know that talked about alcoholism and history, so this is why want to ask you this question as to paris. yesterday. we >> yeah. >> my experience wit
