This is Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm David Greene in Culver City California and I'm Rachel Martin in Washington d.c. Earlier this morning Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi walked to a lectern at the Capitol and announced something that seemingly had become inevitable sadly that with confidence and humility with allegiance to our founders and are factual of love for America today I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment Pelosi did not detail just what those articles will say or when they'll be drafted her announcement comes a day after legal scholars laid out the constitutional standards for impeachment before the House Judiciary Committee among those testifying was Jonathan Turley who told us elsewhere on the program that Democrats have not yet made their case that's not a fully developed record and all I'm saying is that before you give that record to the Senate you should deal with some of those conflicts and some of those camps and this is an example of one of those that I think the president could very well be impeached and removed for obstruction based on these acts earlier today David Greene spoke with Pennsylvania Republican Scott Perry who is likely going to have to vote on those articles David good morning so what do you make of what we just heard from Jonathan Turley there I mean do you do you agree the Democrats could have a case to impeach and remove the president they just haven't they haven't built the record yet to do it well I'm not sure I'm not an attorney by trade but. I would think that we'd want to go through every single part of this to be absolutely sure I mean from our perspective impeachment is the 2nd most important thing member of Congress or you know them a member of the legislature will never ever deal with of the 1st being declaring warring war and sending America's best and brightest you know to fight somewhere so . So this is really really important and we have to get this right and so and Mr Turley is a well respected individual around Capitol Hill he was a Republican witness and probably your audience knows that he's a he's a Democrat and not a fan of the president but yesterday I don't know that we learned a lot of we've changed a lot of minds and that comes from the viewpoint that most of the Democrats on the committee the majority of them have voted for impeachment it least once if not more than that before hearing any of this motion say many many of your colleagues have come out basically saying that the impeachment process is a sham even before hearing anything that's not their oath part is the sort of dug in in a way well I mean where you say the process is a sham We have talked about the process because the process is so important around here from the viewpoint that if the bar is going to be lowered to what many people believe is a policy dispute I get that you know some people like the president some people really don't like the president but we have elections for that so the question is is is is this you know about impeachment should this be about impeachment and what does this say about future policy to disputes because we're sure they're going to we're going to have them whether it's you know there's a Democrat in the White House or Republican This isn't really a policy dispute I mean this is looking at some acts of of the president and I'd just like to focus if I can on some of the gaps that Jonathan Turley that the Republican winners might have been talking about I mean there has there have been these witnesses who have talked about you know the things we've heard about military aid whether or not it was was held up you know. But to start an investigation into into the Bidens it does seem like the burden is on Democrats to prove what the president's intent was or not shouldn't they be able to hear from people closer to the president like acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to figure out what his intent was and I think everybody is fine with that to a point but that all has to be adjudicated so there are both houses have both houses both branches have had their own their own propriety to make sure that their co-equal branches and and that that is protected so that so that the tension remains between the 2 and we don't do things that inadvertently that we don't want to in the president has asserted his and and and and the legislature has predictably disagreed and that's fine but that's where it should go to a court and if you say that well every time that the executive branch disagrees there they're in violation of obstruction and and then they should be impeached again that then becomes a policy question which is not adjudicated but there are even some legal analysts think Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano has said that you know if there's a subpoena the comes from Congress to people like Mick Mulvaney my components and they're thrown into a drawer and not complied with that is an act of obstruction so how long can this executive privilege claim last before the president is is obstructing it and welcomes a legitimate article of impeachment Yeah we don't we don't know because it hasn't gone to the courts and we're moving ahead he might have a legitimate claim is the point but but he might not and there's a process to determine that and we've I guess in the house to a certain extent just said just because he's not. Playing ball so to speak we're going to impeach him for it and so and even when we get down to the finer points of not the process but more the substance regarding military aid and why it was withheld we withhold military aid and aid in general all the. Time and I think that was borne out even even yesterday but understand as well you know we look at this and we usually think as Americans that court proceeding trials are based on facts and are generally dispassionate and I think it was pretty clear yesterday that like I said that the majority Democrats have already voted for impeachment without any hearing any of this and every member of the panel had voted against the president but then they even went as far as to the one member of the panel said that within 2 weeks of the president's election he should be impeached for a tweet that he made and. Only was. Still open minded you're still open to seeing where this process goes into song out of you have to be I think you have to be but it does concern me you know the one fact that we have is that the president said he wanted to investigation into 2016 and we keep on hearing it being conflated into 2020 and I think that look I guess you can make that assessment but I don't think there's one fact there is not one fact that bears that out and impeachment is really really important it has huge implications for the present and the future we have to get it right all right Congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania Republican thanks so much thank you sure I want to bring in lead political editor N.P.R.'s political editor Dominica month on our road to medical and I'm struck he is not just attacking the process if we've heard as we've heard from other Republicans I mean he is saying at least that he's that he's going to see how this plays out and think about and reflect Yeah you know Republicans are pretty locked in as are Democrats for the most part on this I don't think many minds were changed based on yesterday and you know Perry has in the past blamed the deep state for coming out against President having people being against the president from the beginning I don't think you're going to count him as somebody who's going to vote for impeachment or is really open to it so I think that some of what he said there conflated a couple things himself I mean he said that people are conflating the president wanting investigation into 2016 and conflating that with 2020 while the president. And on that phone call did ask for both he asked for an investigation into whether Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election and wanted to have the Vice President Biden and his son investigated as well which would benefit him for 2020 n.p.r.

The clinch close at the feet of the age rounded Southern Appalachian Mountains slowly descending towards Tennessee its water is sharp cold and Gene clear which is good because what we're looking for lives on the rock crusted river bottom this is how long it's just a matter of how long does a till we see something move very recently that is Jordan Richard a biologist with the u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service and it doesn't take him long for him to find what he does not want to see her. That's the present jealous just like you would say it's not married and that's it's going to be buried and. He pulls a palm sized object from the water. That's dead Richard is holding a freshwater muscle less edible version of that salt water cousin that lines river bottoms across the country planing water and providing habitat to other species its shell is golden brown and glistening but the milky white muscle inside is turning a gray brown at its edges the color of decay biologist Rose apologue brings over another muscle in similar condition that's that smell. Yeah it's around her bed so that's been dead maybe. A couple days stay or 2 they find another dead muscle and another stop right there are only 5 and then more after that standing mid river a bit later Richard lifts his gaze from the water and looks upstream at seemingly nothing in particular was. Not a good life. Which I'm pretty used to I'm pretty used to like coming out everything that I see is getting completely by with the muscles but. It's such. The u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that hundreds of thousands of freshwater mussels have perished since the die off was 1st noticed in 2016 biologists and fishermen were finding fresh dead mussels week after week after week and not just here unexplained fresh water mussel die offs have since been documented in Oregon Washington Wisconsin and Michigan there's even been one in Spain. A major concern each our own for the future of our Emily Blevins is a conservation biologist with his. The Society for invertebrate conservation a nonprofit that focuses on some of the world's more let's say under loved critters or people trying to get quite as excited about and. Fortunately But many of those species are critically important to the natural world take freshwater mussels they're filter feeders that remove algae sediment and heavy metals from passing water their research. Arm calls from the. Flame retardants he call out from the lava so think of them as nature's equivalent to a British filter cleaning the water we drink while also providing suitable habitat to countless other species The problem is freshwater muscles are also one of the most imperiled species on the planet dozens of muscle types have already gone extinct in North America wiped out by water pollution human development and habitat loss the current die off is just one more threat widespread and fast moving and it's cause Richard the biologist says that's the challenge it could be a 1000000 things but because of limited time and resources we've had to just pick and choose what we think is the most likely thing and then start running and that takes years worth of for a team at the University of Wisconsin that's working with Richard and Blevins has detected a virus and a bacteria that are statistically associated with the die off but they're not willing to call either the culprit just yet climate change is stressing ecosystems and threatening species around the world but it does not seem to be the driver here so with the clock ticking and a cause unknown the team in Virginia has something of a contingency plan a hatchery or nursery more or less fresh water must.

Inside the hatcheries office away from the troughs and pumps lane and Richard say they know muscles aren't his photo genic as a rhinoceros or is easy to communicate as the plight of the polar bear the Richard says freshwater mussels and many other lesser known species are like the foundation of a house that everything lives in it's not sexy to care about the foundation of your house and you could renovate your kitchen but if that foundation is crumbling and you ignore it by the time you notice a problem because you fall through the floor it's too late to do anything about it and everything else falls through to Nathan Rott n.p.r.

This is Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm. David Greene in Culver City California and I'm Rachel Martin in Washington d.c. This morning Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced that the House Judiciary Committee will draft articles of impeachment against President Trump She said the president's abuse of power warrants his removal from office if we allow the president to be about all we do so surely at the peril of our republic things are moving quickly the Judiciary Committee will meet Monday to hear from congressional lawyers about the facts on covered in the impeachment progress far Joining us now in studio n.p.r. Political reporter Tim Hey there so did the speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did she give any context to how she's come to this decision right now yes she said that it's necessary to take the step that they've taken hours and hours upon hours of public hearings these closed depositions behind closed doors that have had transcripts that have now been released and she says ultimately that when you put the facts together they create a pattern which makes this inevitable listen to what she said. The facts are uncontested the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security. Aide and crucial Oval Office meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival now she says that this is nothing to do with politics this is nothing to do with 2020 and has nothing to do with swing state Democrats or so swing district Republicans that this has to do with her obligations in the cause and the Congress has obligations to act against a president who has abused his power that's her argument here so it was interesting some Republicans have accused the speaker and Democrats writ large of of leading the impeachment because of some kind of personal animus against President Trump the critique being you didn't want him to be president in the 1st place and so that's what this impeachment inquiry is really all about and you kind of saw this in this press conference didn't you yeah this came up at the press conference this morning and she actually had concluded her press conference as was walking away and out of the room when a reporter asked her Do you hate the president here's what she responded I don't hate anyone I was raised in a way that is full a heart full of love and always prayed for the president and I still pray for the President I pray for the president all the time said don't mess with me when it comes to words like that so you could steer the set an attitude there that there were 2 versions of Nancy Pelosi today one was this kind of spice your version ready for a confrontation up another one was a more somber tone that she as she said that she was reluctant to come to the steps that there was that she recognized the stork nature of this moment and that she was prayerful about it. So moving forward I mean what can we expect on Monday and we know what the articles and of impeachment are even going to look like we've had some hints about what they may include whether it's abuse of power and bribery or obstruction of Congress for not providing documents and witnesses to the investigation or even obstruction of justice as it relates to the leads that were found in the mall or report the report so that's interesting because the so this could be broader than just the Ukraine scare and there certainly is a debate among Democratic lawmakers as to whether to have a broader scope to include the findings of the mall investigation or keep it more narrow but we will have for sure on Monday at least as scheduled that the House Judiciary Committee will hear from congressional lawyers from the House Intelligence and has judiciary committees they will be going over the facts in this investigation and what they've uncovered All right N.P.R.'s to mak Thank you Tim thanks a lot. I President Trump and Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau got into something of a dust up at the NATO meeting that started with a hot mike incident and quickly devolved into name calling as n.p.r. White House correspondent Tamara Keith reports let's start at the beginning on Tuesday President Trump and Trudeau sat down for a meeting with a small pool of reporters led in for what's normally a pretty quick exchange of pleasantries it's going to be with a friend of mine who just had a great election victory heads for graduation think you don't but Trump was in a talkative mood so he opened it up to questions the back and forth lasted a full 30 minutes then later that night at a reception Trudeau was holding court with the French president and the British prime minister apparently complaining about how long trump talk to reporters we think it's Ok. And the video goes viral it's what's called a hot mike powerful people caught on tape when they think no one can hear them hot mikes are just hot mass Heather Conley is director of the Europe program. At the Center for Strategic and International Studies Yes it was certainly at the expense that the president had 2 very long press conferences. That day but I think that you have to take it as leaders interacting at a reception having some fun when I ask former Trudeau foreign policy adviser Roland Paris about it he doesn't even really want to go there throughout the talk of the Professor of International Affairs at the University of Ottawa says that what Trudeau and the other leaders were discussing in the viral video was an astonishment with Trump's approach to diplomacy that many have expressed publicly before the actual content of what was said was much milder than Then than the criticism that Trump is is dealing with on a day to day basis inevitably President Trump was asked about Trudeau's remarks and Trump shot back to friends. You think of him. Through a day I find you very nice guy but you know this is. Exactly the way. I deceived. The 2 percent relates to an increase Trump wants in defense spending the toothpaste comment is similar to a criticism President Trump lobbed at Trudeau after a meeting last summer in Canada after he left the g 7 Trump caught wind of something Trudeau had said and tweeted from Air Force One that Trudeau had been so meek and mild during the g 7 meetings only to turn around and complain about Trump in a press conference very dishonest and weak Trump added Paris says it was a real low point Trump called Trudeau weak and dishonest and he was threatening to trash Canada's auto industry he had imposed the aluminum sanctions on Canada all of those conditions have been dealt with largely saw I thought it was actually a terrific terrific meeting between the 2 leaders and then came the viral video.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm David Greene and I'm Rachel Martin the latest battle for your grocery business is happening online curbside pickup allows customers to order groceries on the Internet and then pick them up at local stores so which consumers are bracing the service and why might retailers prefer it over on line delivery here Sally Herships in Cardiff Garcia with the indicator from Planet Money there is a war going on in the grocery store the grocery industry is huge sales in the u.s. In 2017 for $674000000000.00 but the margins are razor thin so retailers have to do whatever they can to get your business and one of the ways they're trying to do that is by offering something called curbside pick up that's when you order your groceries either online or by the phone and then you go to the store to pick them up and more and more stores are offering this service there are about $23000000000.00 of orders for groceries placed on line each year that is according to Course site research and right now that $23000000000.00 is even least split between curbside pick up and delivery they are neck and neck but grocery stores would so much rather that their customers use curbside pick up for so many reasons in big cities stores are desperately trying to stay ahead by offering you delivery but there's another battlefront the smaller cities the suburbs places with a lot of sprawl and parking lots and rural areas that is where curbside pick up is increasingly the weapon of choice so that's where we're headed to the battlefront to the grocery store parking lot where in Arlington Virginia at a Harris teeters this is where Jenny Ross tiled is about to pick up her groceries she works full time as a public librarian she also was the recants 2 of whom are under the age of 5. It's been a long day they're hungry but we need to get the food so we can eat it if there's no food out there. R.t. Employee out here he has a clipboard and he asks Jenny for her name her family uses curbside pick up about once a month and the 1st time I ever used this was because the kids were saying and he don't want to bring sick kids into it so the guy appears and he puts the groceries in Jenny's trunk and that's it she just has to sign her receipt and leave Jenny loves curbside pick up it's just super convenient but retailers also love it for so many reasons one of the most important is because delivering groceries is expensive even if it seems like it's not think about all the costs that go into delivery there's the cost of hiring a human being to walk down the aisles push a cart take out the groceries that you ordered online then take them outside and load them into a truck and then the driving there's gas and tolls and insurance add it all up and it's expensive so delivery doesn't always make economic sense in a lot of places but curbside pickup can have its problems to you the economics for retailers haven't been totally figured out yet a lot of stores charge just 4 or $5.00 for pick up but just like with delivery they still have to pay a human employee to walk up and down the aisle and fill a cart so curbside pick up is cheaper than delivery but it is still an added cost Sally Herships cart of Garcia n.p.r.

News I'm Rachel Martin I'm David Greene and I'm no well King Good morning Rosa Parks is the woman who refused to give up her seat on the bus it was 1955 it was the segregated South and it was the start of the monk Amerie bus boycott from that moment on Rosa Parks became an icon in the civil rights movement but for a long time we haven't known much about her as a regular person is that Rosa Parks on a yoga mat a few days ago I went to see a new exhibit at the Library of Congress in Washington d.c. It's called Rosa Parks in her own words and it shows a very different Rosa Parks than the woman we learned about in history class she was a radical She maintained. A calm demeanor but beneath the surface was always that militant spirit and that that Boyd her and that guided her throughout her life Adrian cannon curated this exhibit and she says that militant spirit was instilled in Rosa Parks when she was a very small girl the right of self-defense was stressed in the home you can see in that early sketch early childhood incidents and experiences she opens it with talking about the Klu Klux Klan riding through the community terrorizing black families burning churches and homes in the aftermath of World War One and that she sits up at night fully dressed with her grandfather keeping visual over the home they often sat up all night long because they couldn't take the chance of being caught off guard and she says that she wanted to see him kill a clue clucks or she says that she says that I as a child the 1st one that entered our house would surely die this when I was 6 or 7 I talked to Carla Hayden the current Librarian of Congress to learn more about the exhibit this exhibition Rosa Parks in her own words gives you the impression that title gives you the impression that there's a story that's been told about Rosa Parks but it's not quite the whole story people have a view of Rosa Parks as this very sedate woman with a purpose and that's the are comic image and she was just hard and with this exhibit does this show you that there was so much more to Rosa Parks in terms of her well leave and civil rights her determination and also the hardships that she endured because of that do you think she was concerned that she had become a one dimensional figure because she she must have seen herself described as a demure seamstress and and thought What the heck that's not and I think that you when you look. The photographs in the exhibit you look at her writings you also can imagine that every now and then she probably had a very small smile when she thought about that. She get to know Rosa Parks as a person and not as icon and she is so relatable in that way feel like you're visiting one of your grandmothers or your aunt and you want to hear more from her and you just start speaking in a different way when you get into the exhibit as well who was she as a little girl she was feisty feisty and anecdote of her. Being just a little bit not violent but she thought about it and it becomes clear as you walk through the exhibit that her family were feisty people these were not folks who sit by and let things happen to them and when you think about what was going on in the fifty's I was alive then and I in fact I talked to my Any Your own mother recently and she remembered in 1955 we were in Tallahassee Florida and things were pretty rough at that time and so to have a young person with these. This determination to fight for rights and to be part of a movement was with brave took a lot of courage there was the risk of physical harm she would have known that yes and at that point you get a sense that she was making a decision a conscious decision that she was going to do what she could to help others and she was going to take the birth which is a lot gutsier frankly than just saying to get offended that's what I hope that people will get from the exhibit and that they will realize that she was embraced Mario Stokely car. Remarkable and younger activists Angela Davis' mom and she likes a very she heard dissipated she wrote a lot of the the exhibition is called Rosa Parks in her own words and I thought that was metaphorical but in fact she wrote a lot she. Kept what looked like diary entries what in there surprised you did you read anything that surprised you well the strength that comes through but also the forcefulness in her writing tell the arms through and the repartition and it's almost a stream of consciousness aspect and so she was demure lady like right in her writing you can see that there were these deep feelings and emotions that she was expressing and yet hardly a picture where she's not smiling and I found that impressive she seems to have a cheerful heart I had not seen you know I had seen the pictures of her around the time of the boycott she would have been in her early forty's we see pictures of her younger and and older and then much older and she has a serenity about her doesn't she hand she seems to enjoy being very well presented and there's a beautiful video and of photographs of her in there who are just ground floor length kind of sequinned inlays and it's peeing her favorite color and she is just happy as a lark she just looks wonderful with the essence award just beautiful and you can see that that was that was something that made her happy your colleague Adrian cannon the curator described Rosa Parks in our interview as both a militant and a radical. Lots of people when they're young can be described that way was Rosa Parks that way in her eighty's as she certainly was and you can see her as I mentioned with still Carmichael and other instances where she's with people who are doing. Breaking things presidential candidates Jesse Jackson so she was active politically and she was right up to the minute she was at the 1000000 Man March and participated in that so parks kept her hand in the game.
